                <description>Joining the FinextraTV studio, Wayne Scott, Global Regulatory Compliance Lead, Escode described the things that underpin a resiliency discussion, growing in complexity. Scott explained how many have some idea about how to protect their software from harm, but are missing a strong focus across supply failure, service deterioration, and concentration risk. When going further into the top of concentration, Scott spoke about how leaders often use the adage &#39;too big to fail’ but have underestimated that many are too big to save. He said this is why resiliency is so crucial and described how, while some carry commonalities, global regulation is also extremely different. Scott defines these differences by explaining how the UK, India, Saudia Arabia, US and Switzerland approach regulation and what this might mean for finding the correct approach. At the centre of all of this, Scott emphasises the clear and evidential important of Escrow when reducing exposure and third-party risks.</description>

                <description>At Payments Unleashed in London, Tom Warsop, CEO, ACI Worldwide joined FinextraTV to share his insights into where payments are heading and what the future will look like. Warsop describes the benefits of a forum to focus on how to progress payments towards a new future. He explained how the industry has a tendency to focus on the &#39;shiny new toy&#39; and how payments are not forgiving, so execution has to be watertight. He describes the unfortunate reality of how conceptualisation is a lot easier than reality, and payments often runs into the struggles of this realisation - the hard work begins when the conceptual part is down and it&#39;s turned into a reality.</description>

                <description>While at Payments Unleashed in London, Philip Bruno, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, ACI Worldwide joined FinextraTV to discuss how banks should approach innovation. Bruno, when talking about how the markets inform bank innovation, said that markets are currently quite negative towards banks, especially when it comes to price-to-book ratios. He equally described the main pitfalls of banks strategies, saying that they need to be more open to cutting losses and learning from failures, rather than sticking to plans and partners that aren&#39;t working.</description>

                <description>At Payments Unleashed in London, Fred Slevin, Global Head, Solution Consulting, ACI Worldwide, joined FinextraTV to discuss where banks often underestimate execution beyond strategies. Slevin explained how many banks are good at developing strategies, but do not effectively appreciate the requirements needed to turn strategies into actions. Slevin believes the future belongs not to the banks with the biggest budgets or the grandest ambitions, but to those with a clear plan and the ability to make it happen.</description>

                <description>Joining the FinextraTV studio, Sean Tyrer, CEO and Founder, Money Carer helped to contextualise some of the key obstacles to traditional payments and banking that vulnerable adults face. Tyrer explains how, in the race to make payments faster, vulnerable adults are often left out of the equation, emphasising the need for optionality more than just assumed speed and innovation. He further describes how technologies like biometric cards and wearables are a strong way for banks and PSPs to continue evolving and innovating their offerings, while ensuring an inclusive product base.</description>

                <description>At the Communify Intelligence Experience, Rupert Baron, co-founder, TechnoWealth, returns to Finextra TV to unpack how the definition of wealth keeps moving and what that means for the industry. Baron argues the FCA&#39;s softening of the rules is nudging wealth management toward greater nuance rather than greater complexity, questions whether firms have truly embraced AI beyond the LLM, and reframes the great wealth transfer as a two-step process – first to the surviving spouse, statistically a woman, and only later to the next generation.</description>

LaFleche suggested that banks are still in a &#39;siloed mode&#39; . LaFleche recommends that banks focus more on investing in that orchestration across platforms, mentionining fraud and AML checks are crucial services to be consistent across all areas.</description>

                <description>Joining FinextraTV at the Temenos Community Forum 2026, Paul Weiss, Chief Transformation Officer, Regions Bank, discussed core modernisation and, crucially, how to actually measure its success. Weiss suggested starting with the reason that the transformation is necessary first, and finding clarity at that point in order to enable natural KPI&#39;s to follow. Weiss emphasised the need to see each journey as bank specific and not necessarily follow a set repeatable structure. When asked about lessons for other banks, he said they need to understand their total environment solution in order to proactively embed potential constraints into the timeline.</description>

Discussing the role of trust and security, they ultimately explain how technology is helping to provide humans with the individual customer details they need, faster. This technological intervention, they say, is built to match the customer needs that have outpaced advisor capabilities. Using this need for personalisation, and the capabilities of AI, they explain, actually ends up creating a deeper, human experience with advisors, by improving trust via speed and customisation.</description>
