Pragma: Revolut’s Foundation Model
"In a world where financial institutions typically build dozens of isolated AI models — each trained from scratch for a narrow task — Revolut took a fundamentally different approach. The company developed Pragma, a single foundation model trained on 24 billion banking events across 26 million customers in more than 100 countries. Rather than instructing the model to detect fraud or assess credit risk, Revolut let the model learn the underlying patterns of financial behaviour on its own, then adapted it for specific tasks with minimal additional effort."

Presentations From Amsterdam Banking Forum
"Banking is increasingly becoming infrastructure embedded inside broader digital ecosystems. As fintechs specialise and banks rebundle services, customer ownership is shifting toward platforms, marketplaces and ecosystem partnerships. This session explores how banks, fintechs and infrastructure providers collaborate to create scalable financial experiences across payments, insurance, onboarding and embedded financial services. The focus is practical: distribution strategy, platform economics and ecosystem execution."

Feedback
We had very interesting sessions a lot on the AI. It's really different from last year. Now, there was a big focus on AI generative AI. What can you do with it. Or focus was more on wealth management, of course, there's also a lot of developments there and AI solutions can probably help there as well in the future. I think it was a nice combination, nice panel. We had lots of good discussions so I really enjoyed it.

Managing Director (Tribe Lead) Wealth Products, ABN AMRO BankWhat I very much appreciate is just the mixture and the balancing way of having the speakers that are very much a subject matter experts, not only the executives… the room was fully packed… Hope this is not the last time I will be able to join, I will have time try to make time for this.

Head of Cards & Payments Business Banking, ING Bank GermanyWe had very nice speakers. Also, the panel discussion was really good. And what I love most is meeting up with old colleagues from far back. It's also very nice to see your colleagues in the industry.
Monique van de Heisteeg
Global Strategic Account Executive at TemenosIt’s a very interesting atmosphere. A lot of people, but not too many, so that you can really try at least to reach out to many… an interesting audience in terms of backgrounds, which are very diverse…. software companies, bankers, providers and from the banking side, many different aspects and departments, like business, AI, IT and so on.
