"The European Digital Finance Conference is pleased to welcome Tweezr as a Silver Partner for the 19 November 2026 edition in Amsterdam. The company will exhibit its solution, present to the audience, and showcase how banks can modernise legacy environments while preparing for AI-driven transformation. Tweezr previously demonstrated its platform at one of our conferences, where it attracted significant interest from banking and technology professionals."
"Ten years ago, if you wanted to do anything serious with your money, you went to a bank. Today you might do it through an app you opened for an entirely different reason. That shift was the starting point for a panel discussion featuring Laurens Hamerlinck, Head of Fintech Venturing at ABN AMRO, Ankur Sisodia, Head of Product at N26, and Parth Parikh"
"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."
