Alumnus writes on the trends that change the face of banking

The article focuses in part on the impact of artificial intelligence on banking, with the first trend being how the application of Generative AI in banking is splitting into 2 clear streams: hyper-personalisation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to customer relations, and operational supremacy in back-office operations.

Other trends identified include how embedded finance is expanding into business-to-business (B2B) operations, the strategic shift from open banking to open finance, the tokenisation of real-world assets and how regulatory consolidation drives innovation.

These trends “are not isolated phenomena but interlocking pieces of a single, massive shift: the transition from a traditional, siloed banking system to a series of open, intelligent and integrated financial platforms”, Aleem writes.
