London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and Bank of America have agreed a multi-year strategic partnership centred on embedding governed, AI-ready data and analytics directly into the bank’s core workflows.
Rather than a distribution agreement focused on access, the collaboration reflects a broader architectural shift: integrating unified, rights-cleared content, analytics and risk intelligence across advisory, trading, risk and regulatory functions.
Under the agreement, LSEG’s data and analytics capabilities will be made available across key areas of Bank of America’s business, with the objective of enabling faster analysis, stronger governance and more consistent insight generation across client-facing and internal workflows.Central to the partnership is the provision of governed access to high-quality, rights-cleared content – a prerequisite for institutions seeking to scale AI-driven analytics without introducing compliance or data lineage risk. LSEG will also supply AI-ready content designed to accelerate analysis and enhance insight generation across client workflows.
The partnership provides Bank of America with access to LSEG’s integrated workflow solutions, led by LSEG Workspace and supported by APIs and enterprise platforms. By embedding these capabilities within its own ecosystem, the bank aims to streamline how data flows across systems, reducing fragmentation between analytics, execution and oversight functions.
In parallel, the integration of LSEG’s World-Check risk intelligence data is intended to reinforce the consistency and reliability of compliance, screening and monitoring processes across markets and jurisdictions. Bringing revenue-generating analytics and risk intelligence under a unified framework reflects the growing convergence of front-office performance and governance requirements.
“Trusted, high quality data is essential to how we support clients and manage risk,” comments Fernando Vicario, CEO of Merrill Lynch International and UK Country Executive at Bank of America. “Partnering with LSEG provides a unified, governed source of intelligence that strengthens our solutions, empowers client decision making and enhances how we innovate and execute. Integrating LSEG’s capabilities across our workflows will enable faster insight generation and a more seamless experience for our clients.”Gianluca Biagini, Group Co-Head, Data & Analytics, LSEG, adds: “By powering Bank of America’s ecosystem with our analytics and workflows, including LSEG Workspace, we are supporting the bank’s transformation ambitions while strengthening governance and risk management. This will equip Bank of America with the trusted data needed to deliver deeper insights, streamline decision making and drive new value across client workflows.”
The enhanced capabilities aim to support use cases spanning advisory and investment workflows, trading, risk oversight and regulatory processes. By consolidating analytics, workflow tools and risk intelligence within a governed, AI-ready data framework, the partnership reflects how large financial institutions are re-architecting their data estates to support scalable automation, measurable governance and consistent client outcomes.
