In recent years, the global banking sector has faced a technological restructuring as financial institutions navigate the integration of application programming interfaces( APIs) into their core operations. These digital connectors, which enable different software systems to communicate, are reshaping traditional banking models and creating new market dynamics across the industry. In this issue, we look at how API integration is forcing banks to choose between specialist services and legacy operations. We also explore how cloud computing continues to shape the financial services landscape, and analyse the strides being made in financial risk management thanks to predictive analytics. This issue also spotlights BBVA and Techstars. We’ ll bring you our Top 10 too, championing the leading women in fintech as seen in our Top 100 supplement. Make sure to check out our FinTech LIVE events previews, with time still to secure your tickets to FinTech LIVE Dubai, FinTech LIVE New York and FinTech LIVE London.
