Challenges in Digital Transformation and AI in Banking
- Legacy Infrastructure vs. Agility Needs: Banks struggle to modernize legacy systems while keeping pace with nimble fintechs, creating friction in delivering seamless digital experiences.
- Regulatory Complexity and Compliance: Stringent regulations (e.g., GDPR, Basel III) slow innovation and complicate AI deployment, especially in areas like credit scoring or customer onboarding.
- Cultural Resistance and Talent Gaps: Organizational inertia and lack of AI-skilled talent prevent banks from shifting from project-based digitization to a true digital-first culture.
- AI Use Cases Driving Value: From AI-powered wealth advisory (robo-advisors) and fraud detection to hyper-personalized marketing and intelligent document processing—banks are starting to unlock real value through targeted AI deployments.
