Imagining the future of banking with agentic AI

Adapting to new and emerging technologies like agentic AI is essential for an organization’s survival, says Murli Buluswar, head of US personal banking analytics at Citi. “A company’s ability to adopt new technical capabilities and rearchitect how their firm operates is going to make the difference between the firms that succeed and those that get left behind,” says Buluswar. “Your people and your firm must recognize that how they go about their work is going to be meaningfully different.” The

The First ‘Knights of Guinevere’ Trailer Invites You to a Creepy Trip

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-17 12:30:14

Back in January, animation studio Glitch revealed Knights of Guinevere, its upcoming web series from Owl House alums Dana Terrace, Zach Marcus, and John Bailey Owen. All we had to go off of back then was the contrast of a lush fairy tale setting with some body horror in the sci-fi vein, and now we know a little more about the show, including when we’ll get to see its first episode. On Friday, Glitch released Guinevere’s first full trailer, which shows a beautiful fantasy theme park that’s not q

Microsoft and Uber alum raises $3M for YC-backed Munify, a neobank for the Egyptian diaspora

techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2025-10-19 01:04:10

Khalid Ashmawy remembers the first time he wired money home while studying in Europe. He had just received his monthly stipend as a master’s student in Stuttgart and wanted to send part of it back to his family in Cairo. It was usually a slow and expensive process, he recalled. A $400 wire transfer, for instance, could cost $40 in fees and take three business days to arrive. Years later, while working at Microsoft and Uber in the U.S., and even after founding a startup, that experience hadn’t

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-22 05:33:43

While digitization has transformed banking for Indian consumers, corporate banking has been left in the slow lane — still relying heavily on clunky infrastructure, paper trails, and spreadsheet-heavy workflows. TransBnk wants to address that gap, and Bessemer Venture Partners has invested in the three-year-old startup in a $25 million round to accelerate its progress. Over the past decade, India has experienced a significant boom in consumer fintech, driven by transformative shifts such as the

I did 98,000 Anki reviews. Anki is already dead

Ibiza coast. August 2025. I went through a phase where I Anki’d every useful-seeming Japanese word I came across as well as all of the standard 2,136 kanji. I was teaching English in Japan at the time, which meant I was thinking about language learning all day. I’d arrived with no knowledge of the language and a resolve to be able to read a contemporary fiction novel on my flight home, so I felt I needed all the help I could get. That’s when I found Anki.

Much of the operation of the financial industry is legible to people outside of it. Your credit card works basically like you understand it to (excepting the occasional mythmaking about second order consequences). Debates about what terms banks are allowed to offer on credit cards are fairly straightforward and can be easily followed by non-specialists. But some issues are under the hood, and a societal debate about them doesn’t exactly wear its consequences on its sleeves. Consider the controv

The Convenience Trap: Why Seamless Banking Access Can Turn 2FA into 1FA

news.ycombinator.com Roman Böhringer 2025-12-17 06:48:15

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the bedrock of modern digital security. Its principle is simple and powerful. As Wikipedia defines it, MFA is: an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism. The key phrase here is distinct types of evidence. These factors are typically categorized as something you know (a password), someth

Stripe’s first employee, the founder of fintech Increase, sort of bought a bank

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-02-03 17:55:59

It’s an open secret in the fintech world that the founder and CEO of startup Increase, Darragh Buckley, has been trying for years to “buy a bank,” as one person familiar with the landscape told TechCrunch. A couple of weeks ago, he basically succeeded. He bought a big enough stake in Twin City Bank to trigger a public disclosure of the transaction by the Federal Research Board. Such share purchases are then subject to FDIC approval. Twin City is a small community bank in Longview, Washington,

Bitcoin rises, NYSE battles for Trump ETF, and crypto may be coming to mortgage next

The price of bitcoin rose again on Wednesday, reaching above $108,000 at an intraday high, as investors looked past the recent tensions in the Middle East and the stock market hovered near an all-time record. But the trading in cryptocurrencies was uneven, with ether and solana both slipping modestly in afternoon trading. Washington, D.C., figured in a major way in the latest crypto headlines.

‘Deus Ex’ Did Good Work, and I Wish It Could Do More

For as many long-running franchises were born during the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era—your Assassin’s Creeds and Borderlands, to name a few—some old series tried making a return. Among those was Deus Ex, a series of cyberpunk role-playing games which just turned 20 years old and had an unfortunately short-lived return with a duology that under better circumstances, would’ve been a trilogy. The original game hailed from Ion Storm on June 23, 2000 for PC and eventually PlayStation 2. At the tim

A new version of the Android malware "Godfather" creates isolated virtual environments on mobile devices to steal account data and transactions from legitimate banking apps.
