64Finance, Risk, Regulatory Reporting & Compliance
The financial world of the future requires smart, digital solutions. Complex industry-specific, business and regulatory requirements are accelerating the development of financial institutions to ensure consistency between regulatory reporting, risk management and compliance. These areas will no longer be separated in the future. Instead, they will be aspects of integrated bank management. Integrated, networked solutions and modern cloud services that reflect both the complexity of each individual topic and the consistency between topics will therefore be essential for managing a bank in the future. In our series ‘Finance, Risk, Regulatory Reporting & Compliance’ we present the latest developments.

2The art of modern banking
Just as art translates complex ideas into a powerful visual language, banks must redesign their systems, processes and customer journeys — making them intuitive, transparent and consistently user-centric. Whether AI, the digital euro, cross-border payments or regulatory requirements — the real challenge does not lie in the technology itself, but in how it is designed, communicated and experienced. Our conviction is clear: Creative minds. Powerful banking. Those who combine the thinking principles of art and banking — and translate them into creative solutions — will not only manage disruption, but actively shape the future of banking.

"Nothing happens without risk, but without risk nothing happens either." Walter Scheel (1919-2016, former German Foreign Minister and Federal President) Dear readers, risk is a tricky thing. Instinctively, we would prefer to banish risk from our decisions altogether – knowing full well that every decision we make and every opportunity we seize comes with risks. The key, therefore, is how we deal with risk. Reliable, expert information is the best basis for a balanced assessment of risks. It enables risks to be identified, assessed and managed at an early stage. We aim to contribute to this with the articles in our customer magazine NEWS. In this issue, we inform you about the opportunities that artificial intelligence offers in treasury. We analyse how operational and regulatory resilience and digital competitiveness can be achieved in financial services, inform you about the current state of development of the digital euro and how AI projects can be successful in the long term. Other articles discuss the new PSD III and FiDA guidelines and much more. All these topics involve risks. But at the same time, they also offer interesting opportunities that are worth seizing for the banking industry – provided that a sound risk analysis based on well-founded information is carried out. I hope you enjoy reading this issue. Stay courageous – and risk-aware. Even in "risky" times, we are the trustworthy and reliable partner at your side. Dr Frank Schlottmann Chairman of the Executive Board

5Financial Data Access (FIDA) & Open Finance
The European Open Finance Regulation FIDA presents both opportunities and challenges for the financial industry. The opening up of a wide range of customer-related data – from investment and credit products to insurance – goes far beyond PSD2. For financial institutions, this means preparing existing data, participating in data access schemes, providing interfaces and implementing new operational processes. However, FIDA also implies further development of their own business models, use of data for optimised customer offers and new competitive options. The articles listed here are intended to help you classify, implement and take advantage of FIDA – in order to shift the cost/benefit ratio of the regulation in your favour.
