Martin explains how @LBGplc is now using a multi-agent architecture to tackle fraud. One of the keys to its success has been assembling a multi-disciplinary team to put it in place.

"We stripped back a whole heap of normal organisational complexity," he says.

Amid immense call volumes, call centre colleagues have to act like counsellors, detectives, and mathematicians all at once explains Martin. @LBGplc has implemented AI agents that can prompt workers with suggested questions and assess caller legitimacy.

The future of AI in financial service will be decided by those who help their staff learn, adapt and invest, not those who just buy tech. Tech is becoming accessible to everyone, says Yogesh Sholapurkar, Group Chief Technology Officer @CloseBrothers #FSFutureofAI @JoinMultiverse

"The core quality of the data is more important," says says Eghbal Rahimikia, Assistant Professor in Financial Technology @AllianceMBS , explaining how FinText can produce accurate financial models using only 2008 data #FSFutureofAI

[FStech @FStechnology]

Eghbal Rahimikia, Assistant Professor in Financial Technology @AllianceMBS , says he and his team trained custom trading LLMs FinText in just 22-46 hours. Rahimikia's team used data from 2013- 2016 for training, and found the model beats DeepSeek, Mistral, Qwen #FSFutureofAI

“We are getting into areas like micropayments, where individual payment risk is low, but volume is high. AI can automatically authenticate these transactions,” says Vibhor Narang, Lead, Payment and Treasury Solutions, Transaction Banking Europe @StanChart #FSFutureofAI

[FStech @FStechnology]

“Where we are finding AI to be very useful is in those few payments that don’t make it straight through processing”, says Edward Wilde, CTO @Form3Cloud. Chris Higham, Payments Product Owner (Director) @smbc_group agrees that this is vital. #FSFutureofAI
