A big thank you to everyone who joined our standing-room-only workshop last week at Il Salone dei Pagamenti 2025!
We’re already seeing tangible commercial impact from GenAI across the payments and banking ecosystem:
💡 +15% revenue lift from personalized banking services, or self-optimizing cards
💡 +15–20% revenue growth and 10–30% CAC reduction through predictive financial wellness and micro-coaching
💡 +50% faster credit approvals via autonomous agents for micro-decisions
💡 +60% surge in travel transactions from AI-personalized offers
👉 And now, even back-office operations — from product configuration to documentation — are powered by AI.
Our speakers and panelists shared candid, practical insights on what’s really working in AI and what to watch out for:
- AI is delivering ROI today — enhancing personalization, accelerating operations, and unlocking new growth models in banking and payments.
 - Start small, test relentlessly. The magic is in iteration: AI’s unpredictability demands agility.
 - Data quality is king. High-quality, unbiased datasets, built directly or through strong partnerships, are foundational.
 - Replicate success, not hype. Learn from what’s working across the industry.

Hatami, Tomas Janitor, Luca Vanini, and Maria Vin — whose experience spans Banca Sella, Deloitte, GE Capital, Kickstart Accelerator, Lloyds, OpenWay, PayPal, Raiffeisen Bank RPC, UniCredit, and Virgin StartUp.
