Securing Agentic AI in Finance

Hosted by: Cardano x GLEIF

Switzerland continues to serve as a global hub for trusted digital innovation, supported by its robust financial ecosystem, regulatory clarity, and tradition of multilateral collaboration. As the financial industry looks to the integration of agentic AI systems, market participants must grapple with the integration of a tool that has a capacity for autonomous decision-making but will not ultimately bear the consequences of such decisions.
This event aims to examine the deployment of agentic AI within the financial market, how to build safeguards and guardrails, ensure accountability and ultimately enable sufficient trust. The discussion will explore emerging approaches to risk mitigation and novel oversight mechanisms. It will also explore how Switzerland’s institutional environment can support responsible innovation while maintaining financial stability.

The session will be structured as a 45-minute roundtable discussion held under Chatham House Rules, followed by networking drinks, enabling continued exchange among participants within the Swiss Fintech Week community.

Speakers

• Thomas Mayfield, CEO at Veridian

• Petar Atanasovski, CEO at Curvy

Beyond Digital Banking: Agentic AI and the New Banking Stack

Hosted by: ​Swiff Fintech Association

As part of the Innovation Tours during Swiss Fintech Week 2026, the Swiss Fintech Association (SFTA), in partnership with ERI Bancaire, invites fintech professionals, bankers, technology leaders, investors, and innovators to an exclusive breakfast discussion on one of the most transformative developments in financial services: the emergence of Agentic AI and its impact on the future banking technology stack.

​Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from a productivity tool into an autonomous decision-making and orchestration layer capable of transforming how banks operate, serve customers, and develop products. As the industry moves beyond digital banking, new questions arise: How will Agentic AI reshape core banking architectures? What will the banking stack of the future look like? Which capabilities will become strategic differentiators, and what role will humans continue to play?

​Join us for an insightful morning featuring two distinguished industry leaders who will share their perspectives on the technological, strategic, and operational implications of AI-driven banking.

Speakers:

• ​Matthias Kröner

​Matthias “mk” Kröner is one of the world’s leading pioneers in digital banking and financial innovation. He is among the very few executives globally who have co-founded and successfully built two digital banks. Most notably, he served as CEO, co-founder and shareholder of Fidor Group, one of Europe’s most recognized digital banking success stories. Prior to Fidor, he co-created DAB Bank, Europe’s first digital bank and online broker.

​Today, mk is an internationally sought-after keynote speaker, entrepreneur, investor and thought leader, helping shape the future of customer-centric and technology-driven financial services.

• Roger Furrer

​Roger Furrer represents ERI Bancaire, one of Switzerland’s leading providers of banking software solutions. Drawing on extensive experience in banking technology and core banking platforms, he will provide insights into how next-generation banking infrastructures are evolving to support AI-enabled business models and increasingly intelligent financial services.

​Following the keynote presentations, both speakers will join an interactive panel discussion, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly through a live Q&A session. The event will conclude with a networking breakfast, providing participants with the chance to exchange ideas, build new connections, and continue the conversation with peers and industry leaders from across the Swiss fintech ecosystem.
