                <description>Joining the FinextraTV studio at EBADay 2026 in Copenhagen, Peter Reynolds, CEO, Otoma to share his insights on AI and vendor dependence. Reynolds began by questioning whether banks were using AI in the best areas, suggesting there could be areas such as forecasting, infrastructure support and other applications that are not being fully utilised - he goes as far as to suggest a future where a new payment hub could be created in a single week. When looking at the freedom to implement strategies like this, Reynold described the need for banks&#39; independence, even in an environment that requires more vendor relationships.</description>

                <description>Talking to FinextraTV at the Temenos Community Forum in Copenhagen, Edgardo Torres Caballero, SVP, Global Partnerships, Temenos, and Yves Dupuy, Global Leader, Financial Services Solutions, AWS, shared their thoughts on how cloud infrastructure deployment is progressing. Dupuy explained how banks choose SaaS for ease of adoption while others choose to build and differentiate using the cloud. He explained how, for those who have not yet adopted cloud, it is not technology or regulators holding back, but something else entirely. When looking at how to actually adopt new infrastructure, Torres-Caballero praised the convergence of SaaS solutions with cloud infrastructure as a quantum leap, comparing code capacities between older legacy patches and newer updates on a SaaS environment.</description>

                <description>Joining the FinextraTV virtual studio, Trisha Price, Chief Product Officer, Pendo shared her opinions on the importance - and state of - user onboarding in a world of ever-changing software. Price explained how we are no longer looking at technologies with one-off onboarding applications, but systems that change weekly and require new ways of onboarding. Price described employees in large companies, with distinct individual needs and the complexity of teaching them how to use the software effectively for their roles. Crucial to this success, Price says, is in-context learning and an ability to track the return-on-investment by measuring how well the software is interacted with on a daily basis.</description>

                <description>In this Predict 2026 interview, Andrew Bateman, Executive Vice President, Lending at Finastra, addressed the change in perception of AI and set out his beliefs for the most important evolutions in the new year. Explaining how AI has definitely been on a rollercoaster journey, Bateman emphasises that it&#39;s still accelerating, especially within the Agentic application. Here, Bateman uses the example of SMB servicing to describe the benefits of Agentic AI - along with the need for SMB offers to be simplified, he says that customers are asking for more streamlined processes and this is where agents can provide a natural transition. Beyond AI&#39;s application in better serving SMB&#39;s, Bateman asserts the importance of a multi-cloud strategy in the new year, citing an overreliance on singular cloud solutions leading to whole-internet blackouts in recent days.</description>

                <description>As part of Finextra&#39;s Predict 2026 series, Andrew Smith, CEO &amp; Founder, Sporta provided his thoughts on what will dominate the industry next year, from continuing AI conversations to the growth of the wellbeing industry. Smith differentiates his AI view from others by referencing a prediction he made 10 years ago: to realise AI, you need a lot more cloud-native architecture, and the new year will see pressure from operations and AI to build this into processes more widely. Smith further explains the place specialisation and personalisation will have in the future, and that when thinking about the trajectory of banks and their customer needs, the changes within social media from MySpace to Instagram and their amalgamations over the years, are a useful reference.</description>

                <description>Speaking to FinextraTV at SBS Summit 2025 in Paris, Andrew Steadman, Chief Product Officer, SBS discussed some of the key challenges facing financial institutions and the careful nuances of successful deployment of new technologies. Steadman professed that such conversations can’t be had without referencing ageing systems and legacies, and how these have caused fundamental blockers. According to Steadman, organisations are primarily concerned with how to adapt these systems and how to embed AI and automation into their processes in a safe and structured manner, without too much disruption. Crucially, whether building data quality or enlisting AI agents, he believes there is a need for a better unification of these technologies and processes, explaining how some organisations have built too many agents or tools and now struggle to define which provide real business value.</description>

This, Mussche says, has prompted more discussions around data, cloud and warning not to get too taken by the promise of Generative AI if a more specific model would be better.</description>

They highlighted how banks are blending on-premise, cloud, and SaaS models to achieve agility, resilience, and scalability, laying the groundwork for transformative technologies like generative AI and quantum computing. Ramamurthy noted that tech is no longer just executing strategy but actively shaping it, while Fieldhouse stressed the importance of API-first architectures for delivering agile services. Together, they underscored the urgency for financial institutions to rethink compute paradigms, accelerate execution, and build ecosystems that support next-generation capabilities.</description>

He outlined seven key technology pillars driving progress, including AI, APIs, real-time processing, cloud computing, crypto, ISO 20022, and alternative networks. Fennell emphasised Temenos’ embedded AI approach, likening it to fruit baked into a cake, with real-world impact seen in fraud detection, payment repair, and co-pilot tools developed with partners like Microsoft. With AI able to reduce false positives in sanctions screening from around 6% to under 2%, he stressed the importance of responsible, regulator-approved models to ensure trust and transparency.</description>
