AI helps FIs grow

How ATMs have adjusted to COVID-19

ATM Marketplace has the details.
Responding societal trends through BaaS

Proactive analytics help banks onboard
Up to half of all bank customers abandon an onboarding process at some point during their lives, meaning it is critical for FIs to strike the right balance between offering convenience and security during sign-up. PYMNTS.com has the details.
How cloud lightens the heavy lifting
The future of cloud-native banking services will revolve around the ability to offer modularity and flexibility, alongside rapid time-to-market and a stable base for scale and innovation. Fintech Futures has the details.
Easing customers' AML/KYC concerns
Businesses looking to improve their anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) protocols are thus faced with a significant challenge when it comes to protecting customers’ privacy. PYMNTS.com has the details.
Cyberattacks are tailored to employees...Why?

Cloud momentum is building in retail banking
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to play out, the need for banks to transform digitally using cloud is accelerating by the day. Fintech Futures has the details.
How do modern banks use big data?
