Do you agree with ChatGPT? The financial sector has spent decades negotiating standards. ISO, PSD2, SEPA, eIDAS, LEIs — all necessary, all valuable, all painfully slow. AI is about to change the tempo completely. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: LLMs and AI-agents cannot operate in fragmented data environments. They need clean semantics, consistent ...

Europe is on the verge of the biggest shift in digital trust since online banking. eIDAS2, organisation wallets (EUBW), and agentic AI are rewriting how identification, identity authorisation, and verification work. And banks — with their regulatory posture, enterprise and private customer base and operational discipline — are uniquely positioned

Why Resilience — not just Risk Management — has become the strategic backbone of modern banking and fintech. Resilience: What It Is and How It Differs from Risk Management For decades, financial institutions have relied on risk management as their primary defence mechanism.

The latest FinCEN notice (FMS-508C) is another clear signal: financial crime is evolving faster than traditional defenses can keep up. Typologies are becoming more complex, red flags are shifting, and regulators are moving from guidance to expectation with mandatory reporting requirements that echo what we’ve already seen in elder financial exploi...

The seismic shift is underway. It’s not a revolution heralded by trumpets and banners, but a quiet, relentless evolution. The past year has witnessed a significant milestone: 150 Google Cloud customers collectively processed a staggering one trillion tokens through AI models. This isn’t just a technological achievement; it’s a harbinger of profou

The migration to a data driven ecomony is mildly speaking a fascinating process. And overwhelming from time to time – especially as AI already is so important.

I’ll admit, the first half of 2025 wasn’t kind to Worldline’s reputation.

India’s digital economy stands at a defining inflection point. As global capital flows into fintech startups and regulatory structures crystallise around digital public infrastructure (DPI), the narrative often swings between euphoric celebration and sceptical caution. But amidst the unicorn tallies and IPO buzz, we must ask—are we truly moving to...
