Looking at multi-rail environments, Wallace explains that the way that banks or cooperatives transition customers to new approaches and away from cards will define whether they stay loyal. He goes on to discuss the presence of friction and how some level allows a customer to feel safe, but too much will ruin the experience. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3576/treasury-and-liquidity-how-do-traditional-corporates-and-modern-platforms-differ?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3576/treasury-and-liquidity-how-do-traditional-corporates-and-modern-platforms-differ?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Sat, 01 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT Ahead of accepting an award at the Adam Smiths Awards in London, Anika Williams, Head of Treasury and Customer Payments Operations, Zalando Payments and Galina Kersten, EMEA Head of EMEA Head of Tech and Fintech Sales, Deutsche Bank joined FinextraTV.

Kersten outlined a future of fintech firms and e-commerce platforms where a convergence will continue to grow as lines blur and each become much like the other - and both consider what this means for the future digital business in Europe. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3531/how-multi-currency-accounts-and-tech-are-meeting-changing-customer-needs?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3531/how-multi-currency-accounts-and-tech-are-meeting-changing-customer-needs?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Tue, 23 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT Taking time out of the Temenos Community Forum, Jiři Kacerovský, Chief Data Officer, Commercni Banka, spoke to FinextraTV about changing bank priorities as consumers become continuously more digital-first.

Elegbe started by explaining why digital and mobile payments have been so quickly successful in Africa, with some suggestion that this is driven by a naturally youthful population. Equally, Elegbe said, this digital growth has been influenced by the need, in Africa, for better financial inclusion. Following on from this need for inclusion, Rao helped to contextualise the priorities of Microfinance institutions and how best to expand their reach. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3524/why-core-modernisation-can-never-be-fully-complete?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3524/why-core-modernisation-can-never-be-fully-complete?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:00:00 GMT Joining FinextraTV at the Temenos Community Forum, Rohit Chauhan, Chief Technology Officer, Temenos discussed the impact of composability on the ability to overcome technical debt. He explained the benefit of a gradual core modernisation, using composable modules, compared with standard, more aggressive approaches, enabling the 'blast radius' of the problem to feel smaller. He emphasised the need to see modernisation as an ongoing process that should always be centred around the need to move forward to the next horizon. With this in consideration, Chauhan encourages a futurist style of thinking, with an eye on what will happen in the future, in order to begin adapting to it today. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3425/funding-your-local-club-why-sports--wellbeing-need-a-helping-hand?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3425/funding-your-local-club-why-sports--wellbeing-need-a-helping-hand?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Wed, 03 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT Joining FinextraTV, Andrew Smith, Founder and CEO, Sporta explained how a mission to save sports and wellbeing drove him from an RTGS and ClearBank history to a Sporta future. Defining how sports has influenced his life, wellbeing and his acceptance of a neurodiverse identity, Smith described the fraught state that local sports are in. Despite a larger social economic value, local sports clubs are regularly struggling for financial sustainability, a new AI-first, challenger bank specialising in sports and wellbeing is the solution, Smith believes. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3422/better-than-bots-why-humans--branches-still-define-the-future-of-banking?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3422/better-than-bots-why-humans--branches-still-define-the-future-of-banking?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Thu, 27 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT Joining FinextraTV, Joe Myers, Executive Vice President, Global Banking, Diebold Nixdorf asserted the belief that branch banking must stay and is, in fact, growing. Contextualising the rise in investment into new branches globally, Myers explained that people still need a human present when dealing with financial matters. Whether buying a car or getting a mortgage, Myers compares the digital and physical process to a roadway: you want to be able to get on and get off at your will. He says that when giving consumers the best experience possible, providing that choice to be digital when it suits them, and human when they need it, is essential. Myers equally references self-service channels and the use of digital innovations only when it provides automation of more mundane tasks - such as cash in, cash out and debit card applications - and, by result, gives human staff more time to provide valuable financial advice and support. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3416/why-banks-should-continue-to-offer-both-physical-branches-and-digital-functionality?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3416/why-banks-should-continue-to-offer-both-physical-branches-and-digital-functionality?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT In Paris at the SBS Summit 2025, Alun Williams, CEO, Swansea Building Society, spoke to FinextraTV about the customer demand that grew out of COVID and a desire to have greater access to financial data in real-time. This shift in immediacy and in the need for an alternative to physical access, prompted the speed of modernisation the industry has witnessed but, Williams said, this does not mean the end of physical branches and the takeover of digital-only accounts. Williams said that Swansea Building Society are actually opening new branches in 2026 and emphasised that banks should look to offer customers the choice of physical and digital, rather than forcing them down a path they did not choose. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3384/why-technology-is-no-longer-a-challenge-and-strategy-is-the-new-obstacle?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3384/why-technology-is-no-longer-a-challenge-and-strategy-is-the-new-obstacle?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:30:00 GMT At SBS Summit in Paris, Eric Bierry, CEO, SBS and Deputy CEO, 74Software joined FinextraTV to discuss how customer behaviour is changing. This behaviour, Bierry said, means that with evolutions in digital capabilities, technology is no longer a challenge but the mindset of the banks serving their customers is. Bierry emphasises that, within these strategies, the ability to retain a human element should be front-of-centre with a key part of this being hyper-personalisation. Here, Bierry describes the sometimes contrasting balance of customers need quality personalisation, whilst also requiring minimal KYC interruptions within their banking experience. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3372/how-onboarding-automation-creates-inclusion-but-ai-still-needs-strategic-oversight?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3372/how-onboarding-automation-creates-inclusion-but-ai-still-needs-strategic-oversight?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:00:00 GMT Speaking to FinextraTV at Sibos in Frankfurt, Andy Schmidt, Vice President, Global Industry Lead - Banking, CGI, expressed his belief that one of the key value gains from AI is within the automation of onboarding processes. Schmidt explains how the automation of data collection, fraud detection and onboarding creates a more inclusive environment for mobile-first customers who are more reluctant to deal with physical branches and people. Noting a sustained rise in demand for digital acceleration, Schmidt outlines the vast benefits of AI, but warns against being lulled into a false sense of security, stressing the importance of human strategic oversight still being intrinsically involved. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3368/why-banks-need-direct-connectivity-and-mobile-wallet-optimisation-to-stay-ahead?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3368/why-banks-need-direct-connectivity-and-mobile-wallet-optimisation-to-stay-ahead?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Fri, 17 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT Sharing insights into the cross-border landscape and sentiments at Sibos 2025 in Frankfurt, Stanley Wachs, Head of Europe and Africa, Dandelion Payments described how, as customers continue to expect more from their cross-border payment experience, banks are having to rethink their operational processes. Wachs explains how he has seen a shift from traditional correspondent banking models with multiple intermediaries towards a focus on direct connectivity and more efficiency, leading them to partner with Fintechs and, by extension, regain some of their market share. Another key part of these collaborations, he says, is the ability to be optimised for mobile wallets, which still provide fundamental access to the financial ecosystem for many across the world. https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3298/how-a2a-innovation-is-advancing-the-fight-against-fraud?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed https://www.finextra.com/videoarticle/3298/how-a2a-innovation-is-advancing-the-fight-against-fraud?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed Wed, 23 Jul 2025 10:00:00 GMT Speaking to FinextraTV in this interview, Helena Forest, EVP, Global Product & Commercial, Real Time Payments, Mastercard and Luke Reynolds, SVP, Financial Crimes, Mastercard discuss the impact of fraud and payment scams and look to address their prevention.
