Power plays for Monetizing Open Banking APIsaccenture
Accenture examines how incumbent banks can use Open Banking as an opportunity to capture significant new revenue streams and efficiencies from the application programming interface (API) economy. Learn more: www.accenture.com/MonetizeOpenBanking
Financial services is under profound pressure to transform: legislative catalysts, heightened customer expectations and new fintech entrants are forcing banks and credit unions to re-consider their role in the banking value chain. Leading organizations are responding by moving from traditional paradigms of branch banking, to Banking-as-a-Service, where the bank becomes a platform of capabilities that can be accessed and monetized via APIs, to both internal and external consumers alike. Attend this session to learn how Coast Capital, Canada's largest credit union, is making this vision a reality.
How Banking as a Service Will Keep Banks Digitally Relevant and GrowingCognizant
To contend with insurgent competitors, regulatory mandates and demanding consumer requirements, banks must embrace open APIs that enable them to plug-and-play in the digital business ecosystem and reinforce their value proposition amid escalating share-of-wallet challenges.

Embedded Finance - the $7 Trillion market opportunitySimon Torrance
Embedded Finance is a new way for companies across all sectors to create and capture more value. It allows any brand to create and sell attractive financial services (payments, credit, insurance, investments, savings) either as invisible native components of, or add-ons to, their customer experiences. This helps them to increase loyalty and/or generate new high margin revenue in new ways. For the (software) companies who enable Embedded Finance, this offers a very exciting new market.

The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the payments industry undergo a facelift, sparked by novel approaches from new-age players, fostered by industry consolidation, and customers’ demand for end-to-end experience. Crossing the threshold, the industry is entering a new era – Payments 4.X, where payments are embedded and invisible, and an enabling function to provide frictionless customer experience. As customers make a permanent shift to next-gen payment methods, Digital IDs are critical for a seamless payment experience. The B2B payments segment is witnessing rapid digitization. BigTechs, PayTechs, and industry newcomers are ready to jump in with newfangled solutions to help underserved small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
As incumbents struggle with profits, new-age firms are forging ahead to take the lead in the Payments 4.X era by riding the success of non-card products and services. The new era demands collaboration, platformification, and firms can unleash full market potential only by embracing API-based business models and open ecosystems. Data prowess and enhanced payment processing capabilities are inevitable to thrive ahead. The clock is ticking for banks and traditional payments firms because the competitive advantage is not guaranteed forever. As industry players seek economies of scale, consolidations loom, and non-banks explore new territories to threaten incumbents’ market share. While all these 2022 trends are at play, central bank digital currency (CBDC) is emerging globally and might open a new chapter in the current payments landscape.
The demand for embedded finance is rising and Banking as a Service (BaaS) with APIs and strong risk and compliance capability is offering bundled service, generally white-labeled or cobranded services for non banks to serve their customers.

Emerging Technologies - The Future Of Finance (CIMA Feb 2019)Michael Sadler
A presentation by IBM on the topic of "The Future Of Finance" examining emerging trends, and how accountants can to prepare for the transition from "running the numbers" to being value-adding partners to the business.
At Alpha, we have following business priorities that our executives are trying to solve:
1. Can Alpha be the Transformation Pioneer in modernising Digital Banking?
Disruptions in the business landscape and the impact of technology are compelling banks to shift to innovative business models, while delivering superior experience with agility. Banks are challenged majorly on two fronts. On one hand, the changing customer expectations and the entry of innovative players in the market are driving them to be highly competitive to stay relevant. On the other hand, new regulations are striving for changes that promote more competition and collaboration in the ecosystem. They have created an undeniable need for the payment architecture and banking services to be highly flexible and efficient.
The team at Alpha constantly innovates and works towards shaping the future in payments, digital channels, credit services, digital core, and commercial and corporate banking. How can the team ensure growth and market leadership in the sector?
2. How can Alpha foray into consulting industry and become amongst the top 10 consulting companies in the next 5-10 years?
The pandemic has forced several sectors to adopt new ways of working. Even the primarily client-driven consulting sector has had to adapt to new methods of service, structure, technology and operation.The upcoming years will be all about going digital. Artificial Intelligence would be used to process, handle and analyse huge amounts of data efficiently and faster.
The task for Consulting firms therefore, would be to add value to their clients by using analytical tools and offer quantifiable results, combining the domain knowledge of SMEs with technology to provide products and solutions.
The team at Alpha wants to leverage its long drawn domain expertise and serve its client to become the most sought after consulting firms in the world.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Very costly to run independent KYC/AML Program and there are no easy alternatives.
Compliance is an important part of the puzzle to ensure wider reach of financial products.
Upcoming Regulations
New regulations may impact the balance/business models Eg:- Payment schemes in EU/ India.
In US, 50 different state laws cover a payment license. In some areas, regulations will provide certainty.
Privacy/CCPA
Maintaining data privacy will be a challenge for all participants.
Multiple DEV, QA Test environments across multiple companies – increased data leak potential.
CCPA will be an interesting challenge for data aggregators and the FIs.
