09:00 – 11:30 | Session 1 – Cloud Native Banking: Platforms, APIs & the New Core

This session presents the architecture shifts enabling banks to run faster, safer and cheaper — without burning down the bank.

Topics

  • Cloud-native core banking: build vs buy vs hybrid evolution
  • Kubernetes, service mesh, and container orchestration for banking workloads
  • Banking APIs: from product exposure → to platform monetisation
  • SaaS & PaaS operating models and the future of vendor ecosystems
  • API marketplaces and platform banking revenue models
  • Multi-cloud, vendor lock-in and resilience strategies
  • How banks de-risk cloud migration (architecture + governance)
  • Application modernization roadmaps: front-to-back transformation
  • Case studies from institutions who have rebuilt the banking stack in the cloud

11:30 – 12:00 Coffee Break

12:00 – 13:00 | Session 2 – Autonomous Decisioning: AI for Credit, Risk & Fraud at Scale
