A line the company declared to usedby itself, or that it lists as a sub-processor on its own legal page, is marked declared. A signal is never a case study or a vendor listing. Strongest proof first. "Last check" is the later of the line's re-verification and its latest capture. | Tool | Company | Proof | Source | Last check | |---|---|---|---|---| | Mistral | [BNP Paribas](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/bnp-paribas.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/bnp-paribas/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [HSBC](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/hsbc.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/hsbc/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [Axa](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/axa.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/axa/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [Ardian](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/ardian.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/ardian/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [Belfius](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/belfius.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/belfius/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [Pretto](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/pretto.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/pretto/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [Groupe Mutuel](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/groupe-mutuel.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/groupe-mutuel/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | Mistral | [HTX](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/htx.md) | Confirmed | [mistral.ai](https://mistral.ai/customers/htx/), captured 2026-10-09 | 2026-10-24 | | OpenAI API | [Klarna](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/klarna.md) | Confirmed | [klarna.com](https://www.klarna.com/international/press/klarna-ai-assistant-handles-two-thirds-of-customer-service-chats-in-its-first-month/), captured 2026-10-21 | 2026-10-21 | | OpenAI API | [TrustBank](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/trustbank.md) | Confirmed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/trustbank/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | OpenAI API | [Stripe](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/stripe.md) | Observed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/stripe/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | OpenAI API | [Travelers](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/travelers.md) | Observed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/travelers/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | OpenAI API | [BNY](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/bny.md) | Observed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/bny/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | OpenAI API | [Gradient Labs](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/gradient-labs.md) | Observed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/gradient-labs/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | OpenAI API | [Oscar](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/oscar.md) | Observed | [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/oscar/), captured 2026-10-18 | 2026-10-18 | | Sakana AI | [Daiwa Securities](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/daiwa-securities.md) | Observed | [sakana.ai](https://sakana.ai/), captured 2026-10-23 | 2026-10-23 | | Sakana AI | [MUFG](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/mufg.md) | Observed | [sakana.ai](https://sakana.ai/), captured 2026-10-23 | 2026-10-23 | | Sakana AI | [SMBC Group](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/smbc-group.md) | Observed | [sakana.ai](https://sakana.ai/), captured 2026-10-23 | 2026-10-23 | | Cohere | [RBC](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/rbc.md) | Observed | [cohere.com](https://cohere.com/), captured 2026-10-24 | 2026-10-24 | | Cohere | [TD Bank](https://www.usedby.ai/companies/td-bank.md) | Observed | [cohere.com](https://cohere.com/), captured 2026-10-24 | 2026-10-24 | ## Method Public customer lines of active Foundation models & model APIs tools at companies classified in Finance.
