Introducing the CB Architecture Series
AI has changed the core banking conversation, permanently. What was once a modernization choice is now an architectural requirement. Intelligent systems don’t sit comfortably on brittle foundations; they expose data fragmentation, weak integration and governance gaps immediately.
We’re launching the CB Architecture Series to tackle this reality head-on, breaking down what an AI-ready core truly requires, from modular design and event visibility to semantic alignment and embedded governance. If AI is on your roadmap, architecture can’t be an afterthought.
Start the series and see why modern core design
is now mission-critical.
Lessons in bias
In core banking transformation, optimism can be a hidden risk. This issue explores how executive bias turns missed milestones into “strategic pivots” and stabilization into “success”, even as warning signs flash beneath the surface.
Jamie Dimon confirmed AI is already reshaping JPMorgan’s workforce, cutting operations roles while boosting productivity and client-facing growth as the bank invests nearly $20B a year in technology.
Santander expects AI and data to generate over €1B annually by 2028 as it closes branches and pushes toward a more digital operating model, betting big on tech to fuel profit growth and scale.
Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs are deploying agentic AI to autonomously detect trading misconduct, shifting from rule-based alerts to systems that investigate in real time, a major move to reduce compliance risk and costly fines.Ready to explore? Dive into the highlights to see how leaders in the banking space are tackling innovation, efficiency, and scalability head-on. Let these stories inspire your own transformation journey. |
The future of the RADAR Series
CB RADAR™ was never designed as a one-time report, it’s evolving into a living intelligence platform for modern banking. As the series expands into payments, risk, vendor ecosystems and AI-driven architecture, it’s becoming the industry’s benchmark for separating signal from noise.
