Current Edition

June 2026 Issue Highlights

Our June edition of the Banking & Payments Bulletin explores redefining primary as consumers shift to multirelationship banking; how bank branches are feeling the pinch as customer habits change; and the need to move decisively to transform defenses in the agentic age. We look at moving beyond ISO 20022 compliance to competitive advantage; how ATM deployers are refining their software strategies; and winning the mass affluent, the richest underserved consumer segment. We explore the strong growth of contactless card payments as adoption spreads; and include a profile of ATM and cards intelligence in Australia.

Redefining Primary as Consumers Shift to Multirelationship Banking

Traditional primary relationship anchors are eroding. As customer priorities shift, Datos Insights’ research reveals what banks must do to win them back.

Bank Branches Feel the Pinch as Customer Habits Change

Banks are closing branches at a steady pace. We examine the forces reshaping branch networks and what the branch of 2028 will look like.

Moving Decisively to Transform Defenses in the Agentic Age

As criminals deploy AI with industrial-scale efficiency, our Financial Crime and Cybersecurity Forum will explore how smarter risk intelligence and cross-institutional collaboration can reshape defences.

ISO 20022 Adoption: Moving Beyond Compliance to Competitive Advantage

Most institutions have met migration mandates, but the real opportunity lies in fully operationalizing ISO 20022's rich, structured data across the enterprise.

ATM Deployers Are Refining Their Software Strategies

Declining ATM numbers, shifting hardware strategies, and the growth of ATMaaS are reshaping multivendor software procurement.

Winning the Mass Affluent, the Richest Underserved Consumer Segment

The mass-affluent segment holds vast, largely untapped wealth, yet remains stranded between retail and private banking. We set out the strategies that can unlock this opportunity.
