I used to be in charge of ao payments, e-banking, e-business and trade finance at Nordea Bank and its predessors. There I tried to demonstrate e-innovation impact with a self-made 1-4 points table.

These days it’s pretty hard to find a fintech niche that hasn’t already been chewed through and fought over by a dozen well-funded players.

I’ll be blunt: who isn’t a little weary of the AI hype in banking? I watched Backbase's Engage 2025 event in London to gain insights into AI's role in the banking sector and what Backbase is developing.
