Exec to Exec: Top 3 benefits of virtualization for business executives

Instant payments have been offered across continental Europe in differing forms but with limited utilisation thus far by consumers, corporations and merchants. Now, with the European Commission’s legislative action to normalise their availability across SEPA countries, the well-publicised mandate that all financial institutions must be prepared to meet in stages across 2025 is imminent; but what could industry’s readiness and the post-deadline outlook be?

The intended benefits seem very straightforward: ensure that instant payments are affordable, secure, and processed without hindrance across the SEPA countries. Will the legislation support the growth of instant payments and the EUs intent, or will some of the challenges faced by financial institutions persist after the deadline and lead to an inferior product compared to other payment types? Will all banks be ready, or are some facing challenges that might inhibit their compliance with the pending EU mandate, risking possible penalties and customer discontent or departure?

Conversely, will those banks prepared to use the new rules as invitations to stand out from the rest -to enhance and expand their offerings to their retail and corporate clients - take additional market share? The EU and the financial services industry are encouraging innovation-led economic growth across Europe, to open up the banking system to new participants across all social strata, and ultimately provide lower costs and faster, easier transactions to everyone. Time will tell how ready (or not) Euro-country financial institutions were to respond to the mandate’s drive for adoption of instant payments across the region, with their performance and results ultimately offering valuable lessons for non-Euro industry colleagues.

AI Revolutionizing Financial Services and Insurance

Les secteurs des banques et des assurances évoluent très rapidement, portés par les nouvelles attentes des consommateurs et l'émergence de technologies innovantes. Mais ces secteurs sont également soumis à des contraintes réglementaires de plus en plus strictes…sans compter les exigences de continuité des services, de sécurité, de portabilité et de souveraineté digitale. Dans ce contexte, comment les banques françaises peuvent-elles rester compétitives par rapport aux acteurs européens et américains, accroître leur agilité et se préparer à l’avenir ? Comment intégrer l’IA au sein des architectures existantes ? Quels sont les cas d’usages ? Et les applications pratiques pour ces secteurs ?

The financial fraud threat landscape is vast and constantly evolving, with new attack methods continuously testing the limits of financial institution protection systems. Current AI and ML models, which primarily rely on historical or internal data, have significant weaknesses. They often fail to keep up with the innovative tactics of fraudsters, leaving institutions vulnerable.

To counteract this, financial institutions can leverage synthetic data to enhance their defenses and better understand and respond to evolving fraud and money laundering schemes. Synthetic data helps simulate a wider range of scenarios, providing insights that internal data alone cannot offer. Consistent communication and intelligence data sharing between institutions are crucial for preventing or limiting the impact of financial fraud. Such collaboration enables institutions to stay informed about emerging threats and adapt their defenses accordingly.

Investing wisely in AI systems is essential. Financial institutions must allocate their budgets and resources to develop the most effective AI systems for fraud detection and protection, both now and in the future. This includes embracing synthetic data tools and fostering cross-industry cooperation. As the volume and cost of financial crime threats rise, banks and other financial services must move beyond reliance on internal structures. Instead, they should adopt the latest technology and collaborate more openly to detect and deter attacks.

AI and Synthetic Data: Fighting Financial Fraud and Protecting Customers

Fraudsters are exploiting the vulnerabilities of increasingly interconnected economies, leaving banks facing damaged customer relationships, intense regulatory scrutiny, and heightened reputational risk. 

Near-instant payment settlement leaves little time for traditional fraud detection procedures, adding to a costly and growing challenge. While human analysts are grappling with a complex payments landscape, suspicious activities are staying under the radar of legacy rules-based systems. Artificial intelligence is becoming paramount to improving detection of fraudulent transactions, yet low-quality data is hampering model performance. 

In a bid to improve the accuracy of their AI models, innovative banks are turning to secure intelligence sharing on fraudulent behaviours with external partners. Federated learning is capable of preserving customer privacy while enabling competing banks to share intelligence on bad actors, bolster machine learning models, and reduce operational costs. 

Hosted by The Banker in partnership with Red Hat, this webinar convened leading technology and banking executives leveraging AI to fight financial crime. Chaired by Elizabeth Lumley, Deputy Editor of The Banker, our panel explored use cases for automation in fraud detection, while spotlighting advantages of federated learning for the payments industry and beyond.

As financial institutions become more sophisticated in their use of Generative AI and move from experiments to production-grade enterprise deployments, they face several challenges including:

- A rapidly changing landscape of small to large LLMs including commercial and open-source LLMs utilizing RAG applications
- Data gravity, regulations, and security force firms to target multiple deployment environments including on-prem, private, and public cloud
- Others: Lack of accuracy, data response hallucinations, high latency, low scalability, and high costs
To seamlessly produce and deploy, they need to have a flexible and scalable end-to-end approach. Red Hat and 

NVIDIA work together to enable an end-to-end solution built on OpenShift AI and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, including NIM, that enables enterprises to maximize efficiency and performance and maximize their AI investment.
