SilverX Launches AI Training Program for Senior Staff at Regional Banks and Credit Unions: 'Veteran Empowerment Program'

SilverX Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Daisshi Nakajima, hereinafter 'SilverX') has launched a generative AI training program for senior staff at financial institutions such as regional banks and credit unions, starting July 13, 2026. The program, titled 'SilverX Veteran Empowerment Program' (concept name: Second Peak), is designed specifically for financial operations and aligned with each institution’s generative AI usage policies.

This practical training program enables employees in their 50s, typically approaching role retirement, to bring their real-world work challenges and use generative AI and AI agents to develop tangible solutions they can take back and apply immediately.

Background: Awareness Changes, But Work Doesn’t

Approximately 60% of veteran employees report decreased motivation after role retirement (※1). While many financial institutions have implemented career development programs, it's common to hear, 'Only my mindset changed—the next day’s work remained the same.'

Meanwhile, only about 20% of employees in their 50s have experience using generative AI (※2), leaving significant untapped potential in combining decades of financial expertise with AI.

Features: Beyond First-Generation Career Training—Second-Generation 'Empowerment' Training

This program goes beyond awareness and mindset shifts.

Participants bring their own real work challenges and, during a 12-hour in-person workshop, use generative AI and AI agents to complete practical outputs—such as prompt libraries or automation tools—for immediate business improvement. The fact that participants take home a tangible 'output' is the key differentiator from traditional awareness-based training.

- Finance-Specific Design: Real bank operations such as corporate outreach, loan review, and administrative tasks are used as training topics.

- Compliance with AI Usage Policies: Exercises are tailored to each institution’s internal AI policies and data security standards. Support is available even if policies are not yet established.

- Designed by Former Financial Professionals: Program designed by team members with banking experience, ensuring deep understanding of internal procedures, approval cultures, and regulatory perspectives.

【Examples of Business Improvement Outputs】※ Time savings are illustrative estimates

- Corporate Outreach: Automatically generate visit preparation notes (Manual: 30 min → AI: 5 min)

- Loan Review: Support drafting of approval documents (Drafting: 60 min → 15 min)

- Administration: Turn inquiry responses into reusable knowledge (Manual search → Instant reply)

Security & Compliance: Addressing Financial Institutions’ 'Can’t Adopt' Concerns from Within

All exercises use dummy data and generalized scenarios, designed to exclude real customer or sensitive information from the training environment. We also support the creation of documentation required for HR department approvals.

Subsidy Eligibility: Potential Coverage under Human Resource Development Support Subsidy

If requirements such as a minimum of 10 hours of training are met, the program may qualify for the Human Resource Development Support Subsidy (application handled by each company; we can also introduce certified labor consultants).

Track Record

SilverX has delivered AI training to over 500 executives cumulatively and served as an instructor in Yokohama City’s 'Yokohama Positive Aging Initiative,' demonstrating proven experience in senior-focused AI education.

Executive Comments

<Program Lead / Mutsumi Wakana (Executive Officer, SilverX / Former Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation)>

'I’ve repeatedly witnessed capable veteran bankers quietly stepping away from frontline roles. What they lack isn’t value—it’s the right 'weapon.' Having been supported by such seniors in my own career, I now want to equip them with AI as their new tool. As a former banker who understands both frontline pain and organizational logic, I’m committed to this mission.'

<Instructor / Sennosuke Fujisawa (CAIO / Chief AI Officer, SilverX)>

'The combination of 50-something practical experience and generative AI is the strongest possible. Age doesn’t define potential. We’ll walk alongside participants in practice, helping them master their years of judgment as a 'tool.'
