Many companies still approach AI in customer service as a plug-and-play tool: implement, automate, scale. In banking and insurance, however, this approach quickly leads to regulatory and reputational risks. Because a different logic applies here: The more sensitive the request, the higher the requirements — and the clearer the limits of automation. A recent McKinsey study shows
How intelligent AI agents are transforming the front-end of banks – and why the new book “Digital Dimensions in the Financial Industry” is being published at exactly the right time.

Public administration faces increasing workload, limited resources, and rising expectations from citizens. Decision makers must ensure efficient service delivery, consistent and reliable information, and strict compliance with data protection laws — all at the same time.

Within the Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM) of banks, the question is no longer what is communicated – but how.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future promise in banking — it is ready for production. Yet many institutions remain stuck between pilot projects and real-world deployment. The reason is rarely technology. It is security, compliance, and governance. While GenAI and Agentic AI offer massive efficiency gains, banks hesitate because the regulatory framework feels unclear
Hardly any boardroom discussion in banking today takes place without mentioning artificial intelligence. Expectations are high: more efficient processes, better customer experiences, smarter decisions. But how far along are banks really? And where does the gap between ambition and execution lie? A look at the recent Cofinpro study “AI in Banking” reveals: the potential is
By Michael Altendorf, CEO of Acceleraid. Gartner has released its list of the top 10 technology trends for 2026.

The Core Problem: Good Ideas Fail Due to Integration Challenges Banks and insurers have long recognized where AI can add value: relieving customer service, enhancing digital channels, increasing conversion rates, and streamlining internal processes. What often holds back these initiatives isn't the will to act – it's the assumption that every AI solution requires a
From Click Menus to Real Dialogue Traditional banking interactions often rely on standardized menus – in apps, on websites, or over the phone. Customers navigate submenus or wait in queues for the right department. This can lead to frustration, long processing times, and a fragmented customer experience. Modern customers expect dialogue-driven interactions that feel like
