About this episode:
As AI agents become capable of automatically moving money, optimising savings and making financial decisions on our behalf, could they fundamentally challenge the way banks make money?
Host Ross Gallagher is joined by Conrad Ford from Allica Bank, Merusha Naidu from Paymentology, and Aurélien Bonnel from N3xt, to explore what fully automated money could mean for the future of banking.
They discuss whether AI agents could disrupt traditional banking revenues, make deposits more mobile and introduce new risks to financial stability. Plus, as banks compete to serve AI agents rather than just customers, what will it take to remain profitable, and who stands to benefit from a more automated financial system?
This week's guests:
Conrad Ford - Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Allica Bank
Merusha Naidu - Global Head of Partnerships at Paymentology
Aurélien Bonnel - CTO of N3xt
