Palo Alto Networks Founder Agrees to Buy California Bank for AI Revamp

Palo Alto Networks founder Nir Zuk plans to acquire California based Liberty Bank to deploy AI driven financial services, partnering with fintech investors and positioning for broader banking sector adoption.

The planned acquisition is a fusion of several investment themes Zuk has pursued outside of his role at cybersecurity giant Palo Alto. He is the co-founder of eOS, an AI-agentic platform, and brought the startup’s technology to Esh Bank, an Israeli lender and one of his other investments. Esh recently agreed to sell itself to Isracard, Israel’s biggest credit-card company.  People familiar with Zuk’s thinking said the technologist was eager to invest in a U.S. banking industry on the cusp of its embrace of artificial intelligence.
