Chatbots and AI in Fintech

In this webinar, Genady will talk about implementing AI projects in a financial services environment. More specifically, he will cover the following topic areas:

For years, banks have been sitting on a goldmine of customer data. Only recently have they started exploiting that, although not surprisingly for their own benefit.
Personal data can give great insights to drive bank outcomes by decreasing credit losses and reducing fraud losses. In this webinar Ricky Knox will look at how we can use customer data to;
*Drive customer’s own advantage
*Avoid slip ups
*Dodge nasty charges
*Optimise the customer’s finances end to end.

The world is changing and whilst you're reading this; the speed of change is increasing even further. What this leads to no one knows - the future of financial services could be "anxious and challenging" or "brilliant and full of opportunities".

Will customer centricity still be the mindset? What about “AI-first”? Or will we jump into the next phase of life?

In this session, Vincent Fokke, CTO FS Benelux, Capgemini, will walk you through the future of banking touching on key themes including;

* AI First as starting point
* Branch “office" or not…
* PLC V4.0

Data is increasingly available in open API format, and this is particularly applicable to SMEs and businesses - from accounting APIs to Open Banking


We see a future of collaboration in business banking that will ultimately benefit SMEs/corporate clients. Businesses do not work in the same linear manner as consumers - companies have complex needs with multiple maturity periods. This requires algorithm driven technology utilising multiple sources for data innovation.

Our platform utilises private and public data including data via Burrau van Dijk for company and sector data, ownership and Peps/sanctions; Fitch Solutions Financial Implied Ratings (FIRs) for global coverage of more than 23,000 banks including 20,000 previously unrated; and Defaqto for full coverage of business banking products, as well as OECD and Customs and Excise trade data. Add to this private data sources such as banking transactions via Open Banking, accounting via open APIs and tailored products via our panel banks.

Business banking will undergo a transformation over the next decade, with change due to a combination of company / corporate demand and regulatory pressure on the banks. In the business banking space, banks and other financial institutions will revert to a focus on conventional banking, with increasing partnerships providing services to companies across the spectrum of financial products and more useful analytics tools linked to applicable products that change as the business life cycle and stage develop. Banks are considered digital identity guardians and have access to a wide range of data. When this is used with an appropriate Data Analytics platform, along with simple Product Prompts and product Execution, this will ensure that companies will benefit significantly from the changes underway in financial services.
