Fintech AI

21 articles · Latest: 2026-04-25

European fintech operates under a compliance and capital regime that makes Silicon Valley's move-fast playbook unreadable. The articles in this topic start from that reality: local regulatory demands in Frankfurt, Dublin, and Zurich; AI tools that finance teams can actually adopt; and the build-versus-buy decision at 30 billion parameters.

Key themes

Why it matters

A fintech SME in Europe does not have the luxury of deploying first and asking regulatory questions later. The articles here address what that means in practice: how Klarna's AI rollout actually performed, which meeting note tools survive a compliance audit, and why a 30-billion-parameter open model might beat a closed API on both cost and data residency. For founders and CFOs, the topic is about adopting AI without creating a regulatory event or an unmonitored shadow tool inside the finance team.
