3. Insights
• Generative AI is in everything:
• Almost every product on show had some kind of generative AI
features. Whether it was helping customers with forms, loading and
transforming data, or content, generative AI was there. These
features have moved quickly to become table stakes for vendors
and there is no reason to think that will change any time soon.
• Onboarding of both business and personal customers is a problem
almost everyone has and many startups are trying to solve:
• It felt as though there were some genuine innovations in the
onboarding workflow. Many startups are addressing the
traditionally terrible UI/UX of this process and everyone is taking
advantage of generative AI to capture unstructured data to
streamline the process.
• Compliance to regulations is getting more and more difficult for
both institutions and businesses:
• The confluence of regulation and compliance and onboarding
came up in multiple vendor offerings. KYC/KYB requirements are
getting more stringent. They also create substantial friction in the
onboarding workflow resulting in significant drop-off.
• Themes from the "Hot or Not" panel where a panel of 4 judges gave
their views on current hot (or not) topics in fintech:
• Embedded finance: hot (3/1)
• Bank-provided digital wallets: not (1/3)
• Social impact fintech: hot (3/1)
• Crypto: not (1/3)
• Neobanks: not (1/3)
• Open finance: neutral (2/2)
