VeriPark Insights to Guide Your Journey Through 2025 and Beyond

The financial services industry faces another year of transformative change in 2025. It will be driven by rapid technological advancements, shifting customer expectations, and evolving market dynamics.

Gartner identifies Agentic AI as a top strategic technology trend for 2025. It emphasizes Agentic AI’s potential to automate processes, personalize interactions, and optimize decision-making. This will enhance productivity and operational efficiency. 

Forrester underscores the importance of adopting flexible, modular, and composable architectures in banking. Such architectures will enable rapid development and deployment of new features and services. That will allow banks to adapt swiftly to the evolving financial services landscape. 

McKinsey discusses how generative AI is revolutionizing the banking industry. As well as enhancing customer engagement and preventing fraud, it is also expediting tasks like code development and regulatory report summarization. These advancements will streamline processes, reduce costs, and empower employees to focus on high-value activities. 

Our leadership team at VeriPark are at the forefront of these changes. Here are their predictions for the trends that will shape the financial services industry in 2025 and beyond. We are confident these predictions will inspire you to lead the change at your bank.

VeriPark CEO Ozkan Erener

Uni-channel experiences, generative AI, and ecosystem integration

Ozkan Erener

CEO, VeriPark

1. From omni-channel to uni-channel banking experiences

In 2025 and beyond, the concept of “omni-channel” will evolve into uni-channel banking, where all interactions—digital and physical—are seamlessly unified into a single, coherent experience. Customers will not think in terms of channels; they will simply interact, expecting their journey to continue wherever they left off. Banks that do not unify their services around the customer’s life will risk losing relevance.

2. Generative AI as the new strategic partner

Generative AI will go beyond content creation or Copilots—it will become a strategic enabler for bank-wide automation and personalization. From fully automated loan processes that deliver approvals in seconds to predictive algorithms and next best actions shaping financial advice, AI will underpin every decision banks make. 

3. Ecosystem banking will dominate

The rise of ecosystem banking will blur the boundaries between industries. Banks will embed themselves in non-financial ecosystems—healthcare, education, travel, and e-commerce—offering services like micro-financing, travel insurance, and investment tools directly within those platforms. Success will hinge on API-first architectures and partnerships that extend banking beyond its traditional boundaries.

4. Hyper-personalization will be the “new normal”

Banks will redefine personalization, going beyond traditional segmentation to offer individualized financial journeys. By using advanced CRM systems integrated with real-time data, banks will anticipate customer needs and deliver tailored products and services proactively, increasing engagement and retention.

Autonomous agents, customer-centric banking, and real-time lending

Zubair Ahmed

Chief Industry Officer, Financial services, VeriPark

1. Beyond banking with autonomous agents

In 2025, non-financial industries such as retail, utilities, and entertainment will lead the way in developing autonomous agents—API-based services that banks can seamlessly integrate. These agents will enable banks to offer beyond-banking services effortlessly. Imagine booking cinema tickets or making travel reservations directly within a banking app, all powered by autonomous agents from other industries. This shift will create a new level of customer convenience and engagement.

2.    Customer-centric unification of services

Banks will need to stop dictating how customers interact and instead adapt to how customers want to live. This means offering freedom and choice across all touchpoints, whether digital channels like mobile banking and WhatsApp, or traditional ones like branches and contact centers. Unified services will ensure a seamless customer experience, blending both digital-first and enhanced traditional channels.

3.    The impact of cheaper money

With anticipated interest rate cuts in 2025, borrowing will become more affordable. As a result, banks will face reduced deposits but gain opportunities to attract new borrowers. The key differentiator will be the ability to provide 24/7 loan decisioning powered by AI and machine learning. Imagine applying for a loan at midnight and having the funds in your account by morning—banks offering such services will lead the market. These systems will combine risk scoring, eligibility checks, and automation to ensure funds are disbursed in real-time, meeting customer needs anytime and anywhere.

AI, personalization, and cloud-driven agility

Michel Diab

Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, VeriPark

1.    Artificial intelligence transforming banking

AI and automation will continue to revolutionize banking operations across risk assessment, fraud detection, personalized marketing, and customer service. Industry-specific AI applications will emerge, enabling role-based tools such as personalized financial advisors and risk assessment copilots. These advancements will streamline processes, reduce costs, and empower employees to focus on high-value activities, like strategic decision-making and client relationship building. AI will also drive financial inclusion by creating tailored products for underserved markets, expanding credit access, and simplifying onboarding.

2.    Hyper-personalized customer journeys

Banks will use advanced CRM systems and AI-driven analytics to deliver personalized experiences across retail, corporate, and SME banking. These tools will anticipate customer needs, enhance loyalty, and empower employees to focus on high-value, consultative roles.

3.    Cloud-first strategies for agility

Cloud-native architectures will enable banks to scale faster, process real-time data, and leverage advanced analytics. These systems will enhance resilience and drive innovation in an ever-changing market.

4.    The consumerization of financial services

Inspired by e-commerce, banks will prioritize personalized and intuitive experiences through mobile-first strategies, gamified tools, and AI-driven financial assistants. This will transform how customers interact with their banks.

AI, personalization, and collaborative innovation

Barry Frame

Chief Sales Officer, VeriPark

1. AI will transform sales and relationship management

Generative AI will be a game-changer for sales teams and relationship managers. AI Copilots will analyze client portfolios, predict customer needs, and provide personalized recommendations. This will enable stronger relationships and enhance cross-sell and upsell opportunities.

2. Hyper-personalization will drive customer loyalty

Advanced CRM systems, powered by AI, will enable banks to deliver real-time, tailored solutions. Hyper-personalized journeys will meet individual customer needs. This will increase engagement and retention while fostering long-term loyalty.

3. Open banking will revolutionize cross-selling opportunities

The rise of open banking in regions like North America will allow banks to embed their services in ecosystems such as healthcare, e-commerce, and travel. API-driven integrations will unlock new revenue streams from non-banking channels.

4. Faster go-to-market with modular solutions

Banks adopting modular, cloud-native platforms will significantly reduce go-to-market cycles. These platforms allow rapid deployment of new features, helping banks stay ahead in a competitive market.

5. Human expertise will complement digital innovation

While AI and automation will dominate operational tasks, human expertise will remain critical in building trust and long-term relationships. The most successful banks will combine digital efficiency with empathetic, relationship-driven sales approaches.

The rise of wallets, AI, and super apps

Bilal Munir Malik

VP MEA, VeriPark

1.    Wallets replacing traditional banking for Gen Z

Telecom wallets are becoming essential for younger generations, managing payments, virtual credit cards, and more. These wallets could evolve into super apps, integrating banking, e-commerce, and communication in one platform.

2.    AI driving operational transformation

Robotic process automation (RPA) and AI will automate tasks like credit decisions, claims management, and fraud detection. AI copilots will streamline back-office processes, increasing productivity and scalability for financial institutions.

3.    Super apps revolutionizing customer interaction

Inspired by platforms like WeChat, super apps will combine financial and non-financial services, enabling users to perform a variety of tasks—banking, shopping, or investing—within a single app.

4.    Central banks embracing customer-centric services

Central banks will enhance accessibility by launching contact centers to address citizens’ grievances directly. This shift will strengthen public trust and improve regulatory compliance.

New term in the AI era: “Role-based AI solutions”

Tarık Tuzunsu

VP, Partner & Alliance, VeriPark

The evolution of artificial intelligence has been remarkable and rapid, reshaping industries and redefining possibilities. What began as Narrative AI, which focused on understanding and generating human-like text, soon transitioned into the transformative impact of Generative AI, enabling content creation, personalized interactions, and decision support at scale.

Now, we are standing on the threshold of the next phase—the era of Industry AI. This wave will focus on addressing precise problem definitions through role-based AI solutions tailored to the specific needs of industries and job functions. Unlike previous iterations of AI, which offered generalized capabilities, Industry AI will empower employees with tools designed for their exact workflows, from relationship managers in banking to claims adjusters in insurance.

The true multiplier effect of AI will emerge as organizations embrace these role-specific solutions, which promise to streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and drive innovation. By focusing on tailored applications, businesses will unlock unprecedented potential and deliver exceptional value to both employees and customers. This targeted approach is not just about efficiency—it’s about transforming the way industries operate, ensuring that AI becomes a trusted partner in achieving strategic goals.

Blockchain, ESG, and AI-powered innovations

Nadeem Esmail

Account Executive, VeriPark

1. Blockchain and crypto in focus

With a US president supporting cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology is gaining traction in banking. It promises enhanced transparency, efficiency, and security in financial transactions, driving innovations in payments and decentralized finance.

2. Sustainable financing and ESG products

The push for sustainability will accelerate the development of ESG-focused products like green loans and carbon-neutral investment portfolios. Banks will need to innovate to meet regulatory standards and cater to environmentally conscious customers.

3. Generative AI transforming banking

Generative AI will expand beyond Copilots for service agents and advisors, to pilots automating the entire lending process. Marketing teams will also leverage AI for personalized, cost-effective content creation, streamlining operations across the board.

4. Digital-only banks redefining retail banking

Digital-only offerings will revolutionize retail banking, offering faster, more seamless customer experiences. These platforms will set new standards for convenience and efficiency in day-to-day banking.

5. Data-driven SME lending

SME lending, historically underserved, will see transformative changes through real-time data analysis of sales and cash flow. This approach will enable faster credit decisions and unlock new growth opportunities for banks and SMEs alike.

5.    AI-powered fraud prevention

Fraud detection and prevention will evolve with machine learning and AI. It will enable banks to identify suspicious patterns in real-time and mitigate risks proactively. This will safeguard customer trust and financial security.
