Letter from the Editor: Financial services have always relied on one thing. AI is taking it away.

  • As AI agents assume more responsibility for commerce, the transaction remains visible, but the decision-making behind it becomes increasingly opaque.
  • Financial services are reconstructing the decision trail AI has hidden. That's why the industry's conversation increasingly revolves around intent, context, governance, permissions, explainability, and accountability.

  • As AI agents take a larger role in commerce, BNPL providers may need to rethink whom or what they evaluate when approving transactions.
  • Zip Co's Rory Herriman believes a future payments ecosystem may need to prove that an agent had authority to act, but also that the action reasonably reflected the user's objectives.

Trust, stablecoins, and the AI margin squeeze: What McKinsey and QED’s fintech report means for banks

  • Max Flötotto, who leads McKinsey’s global retail banking practice, and Mike Packer, a partner at QED Investors, just co-authored a report mapping where fintech goes next — and they agree on almost everything in it.
  • We dig into why “a feature is no longer a fintech,” why only 1% of stablecoin volume is actual end-user payments, and why the simplest version of banking — deposits and loans — may be the part most at risk from AI agents.
