TEMENOS
23.10.2018 10:32:08 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Temenos (SIX: TEMN), the banking software company, today announced during the Machine Learning Panel at Sibos that it is increasing the development of Artificial Intelligence capabilities throughout its digital banking platform. The Temenos AI initiative will enable banks to offer personalized services to customers, augment users’ decisions with data-driven machine intelligence, and maximise straight-through-processing (STP) rates for financial transactions at reduced cost with limited or no human intervention.
As part of this global initiative, Temenos has just launched a Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence as its innovation engine. The Temenos AI Centre of Excellence will foster a collaborative ecosystem with Temenos’ banking clients and partners to help identify and validate use cases where AI could have an immediate impact on customer experience, as well as operational excellence, and hence improve the bottom line.
Temenos’ pioneering initiative will involve injecting AI throughout its packaged, digital banking platform available on premise and in the cloud. Temenos is assisting banks to get ‘AI-ready’ by providing modern data architectures and integration tools that promote real-time data quality and governance, and allow high volumes of data to be consumed by AI and machine learning-based applications. Temenos has invested heavily in AI across its technology stack from AI-based fraud detection tools, to machine-learning and predictive analytics models. Temenos also launched the ‘Robo-Advisor’, as part of its WealthSuite, a packaged solution that helps financial institutions improve returns and enhance their customer experience through a fully automated or a hybrid digital advisory service.
Prema Varadhan, Vice President of AI Centre of Excellence, Temenos, said : “Our drive for innovation is constant. We invest over 20% of our annual revenues in R&D, an amount that surpasses what a global Tier 1 bank would typically spend on its core banking systems, the bulk of which is usually spent on maintenance of legacy systems rather than innovation. Our vision is to build and fully embed own and third party AI capability throughout our banking platform to improve efficiency, automate processes, and crucially provide personalized customer engagements. AI is an integral part of our platform and an essential component in creating the intelligent bank of the future. We want to make AI capability accessible to all banks regardless of their type and size. Together with our customers and partners we aim to leverage our Centre of Excellence as an innovation engine that will enable banks harness the full potential of new technologies.”
Temenos AI Centre of Excellence will initially focus on the following:
- Front office . Temenos will help banks embed AI to deliver compelling customer experiences, greater personalization and smoother on-boarding. This delivers cost savings and new revenue streams to banks. For example, Temenos Front Office Suite has numerous, integration, machine learning models, which mine transactional data to understand customer behaviors and patterns. The results of these models are integrated within the platform in order to provide customers with real-time product, service, or educational offers that enhance their financial lives.
- Payments Exemption Handling. Temenos will use AI technologies to identify any payments going into exception, monitor users’ manual corrections, and learn how to fix and automate these payments, thereby improving STP rates and lowering costs.
- Real-time fraud detection. Temenos is using AI to profile individual behaviours and detect fraud in real time. Banks need self-learning capabilities, beyond rules-based engines, to profile customer behaviour, using vast amounts of customer data and transactions to flag activities outside behavioural patterns that could be a potential fraud. Temenos is working towards using cloud computing to deliver new algorithms that help solve the real-time fraud detection challenge.
In a recent report*, Jost Hoppermann, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Forrester , wrote: “The artificial intelligence (AI) space has quickly become a key tool for leading banks to improve customer experience (CX), increase process efficiency, and drive revenue. AI's increasing maturity means that banks' application development and delivery (AD&D) teams should consider off-the-shelf banking software powered by AI. When the dust settles, AI will be embedded as part of all products." He went on to note that, "until recently, only larger banks were in a good position to gain these benefits because using AI required massive in-house skills or intensive help from a systems integrator. This is changing ... AI will move from being something special to a core technology — and banks of all shapes and sizes will have AI-powered banking applications.”
Temenos has been in the forefront of innovation and was the first to offer a core banking system with real-time 24/7 processing, the first to launch a core banking offering in the cloud in 2011, as well as the first to go to market in the cloud with a combined payments hub and core banking platform. Temenos was also first with its MarketPlace, an online digital store, which brings together over 150 financial software products from over 65 certified fintech partners that are fully pre-integrated into the Temenos software. Almost half of Temenos’ 5,000 employees are working in R&D.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
Morocco’s FRMF Welcomes CAF Appeal Board as Upholding Rules, Stability of International Competitions19.3.2026 12:53:00 CET | Press release
Following the announcement by the CAF Appeal Board, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) welcomes the decision, which reaffirms the primacy of competition regulations and reinforces the conditions necessary for the proper conduct of international tournaments. From the outset, following the incidents that led to the interruption of the match, the FRMF maintained a clear and consistent position: the strict application of the governing regulations. The Federation’s approach was solely guided by this principle. Following its appeal, CAF has now confirmed that the applicable regulations were not properly enforced. Throughout the process, the FRMF acted in full compliance with all relevant legal and procedural frameworks, with a constant focus on upholding its rights and preserving the integrity of the competition. This decision provides clarity on the applicable framework and strengthens the consistency and credibility of international competitions, particularly within African foot
