FinovateSpring keynoter Javier Perez on taking AI out of the experimental and scaling it up for maximum impact. Detailed Summary: In this episode of the Finovate Podcast, Javier Perez, Global Director at VASS Financial Services, shares key insights from his recent keynote at FinovateSpring. He emphasizes that although AI holds immense potential for banks and fintechs, 85% of AI projects in the sector fail to reach production due to poor execution and misaligned teams. To overcome this, organizations must stop treating AI as a mere experiment and instead focus on execution, aligning business, tech, and compliance teams. Javier highlights the importance of beginning with high-impact use cases and ensuring the right mix of technical knowledge, financial expertise, and AI deployment experience. He also stresses the need for companies to build AI-ready data infrastructure, empower business teams to be AI-fluent, and approach AI as a cross-functional business transformation tool to ensure long-term success. Javier goes on to emphasize the importance of moving beyond AI experimentation toward execution in financial institutions. He outlines three core requirements for success: establishing an AI-ready data infrastructure, empowering business teams to become AI-fluent, and prioritizing a few high-impact use cases. Perez explains how VASS supports clients through its AI Academy and bootcamps, guiding executive teams through strategy, platform development, and implementation with experienced, end-to-end support. He stresses that AI should be treated as a business transformation lever rather than a siloed innovation initiative, urging firms to align cross-functional teams and begin practical application, even if their architecture isn't perfect. By doing so, institutions can ensure measurable results over the next 12 to 24 months.

He then talks about the important work that NextOp Veterans is doing to help military members and veterans, like himself, with that same transition into industry careers and opportunities. He shares some of this history and growth for the nonprofit organization, talks about some of their key strategies and recent successes, and how they are partnering with other organizations to create a system that benefits the veterans and military members, education institutions and training programs, companies, and our communities.

Auxilion, the leading Irish IT managed services provider, and partner HPE has announced survey findings which reveal that 71% of senior managers in financial services see regulatory compliance as one of the top three challenges facing their business this year. The study, conducted by Censuswide for Auxilion and involving 200 senior managers working in financial services in Ireland, found that29% of organisations are not ready to handle more stringent regulations over the next five years. A quarter (25%) also admitted they are not confident their organisation would comply with applicable Corporate Sustainability ReportingDirective (CSRD) requirements. When it comes to regulation and AI, 26% of respondents don't believe current regulations around AI in the financial industry are sufficient. Meanwhile, two thirds (66%) believe current regulations around AI in the financial industry are inhibiting its use. In terms of wider Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) considerations, the same amount (66%) believe ESG has a positive impact on the financial performance of financial institutions and some 60% say companies with strong ethical and governance practices suffer fewer regulatory fines. Almost three quarters (73%) say ESG is a priority for their customers. The leading factors driving financial services firms to adopt ESG are investor or board demand (49%), reputation and branding (48%), risk mitigation (44%), customer priorities (39%), and employee satisfaction (39%). That might explain why 69% of financial services managers have received training relating to ESG and sustainability. As for the role of tech in this area, some 73% agree that IT is important in helping their organisation achieve ESG goals - with the same proportion (73%) currently using green tech. As well as investing in green tech, 70% of financial services managers think their organisation should be spending more on compliance risk, governance and management. In fact, 72% are planning to increase their IT managed services investment in the next 12 months and 69% are using or planning to use IT managed service support for governance and compliance purposes. However, over two thirds (69%) believe current or upcoming regulatory changes are impacting their investment plans for IT service management. Adding to this, almost a quarter (23%) do not feel the market currently provides for their organisation's managed services needs. Eleanor Dempsey, Director of Strategy, Innovation & Transformation, Auxilion, commented: "There are no loopholes or shortcuts when it comes to addressing governance and compliance. Companies - especially those in highly regulated sectors including financial services - must step up their strategies and investments in this area. As well as training people, that means deploying technologies that support ESG efforts. "Failing to meet such regulatory requirements or embracing ESG not only leaves organisations at risk of financial and reputational repercussions, but it could also have a negative impact on investor and customer relationships. In turn, the performance, growth and future of their business could be in jeopardy." See more stories here.
In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes on one of the most urgent and often misunderstood topics in retirement planning: Social Security. With headlines swirling, political tensions rising, and myths spreading, Darryl breaks down the real math behind the Social Security system, the challenges it faces, and what retirees (and future retirees) need to understand today. Drawing on personal stories, economic context, and practical advice, Darryl explains why this issue affects everyone - not just those currently receiving checks - and how thoughtful, long-term thinking can help you navigate decisions like when to claim benefits, how to plan for your spouse's future, and what tax impacts to watch for. Key highlights of the episode include: • Why Social Security has been called a “Ponzi scheme” - and whether that label is fair. • The looming 2033 shortfall and what it could mean for benefit payouts. • Why investment policy (or the lack of it) in the Social Security trust fund matters so much. • The dangers of claiming benefits early without considering your spouse's future. • How Social Security taxation really works - and the thresholds that affect you. Whether you're already retired or getting close, this episode is designed to help you understand how Social Security impacts your financial picture - and what you can do now to make informed, confident decisions about your retirement income.

The podcast we are releasing today is part 2 of a re-purposed webinar we produced on March 25 titled “The Impact of the Election on the CFPB - Part 4.” As a result of the diminishing impact of the CFPB on enforcing the consumer financial services laws, we expect that void to be filled by state government enforcement agencies and private civil litigation, including class and mass actions. Our webinar focused on private civil litigation. Our featured guest for this webinar was Ira Rheingold, Executive Director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates. He was joined on the panel by Thomas Burke, Dan McKenna, Jenny Perkins, Joseph Schuster, and Melanie Vartabedian, litigators in our firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We discussed the following areas where the panelists are predicting an increase in private civil litigation during 2025 and beyond: 1. Solar Litigation Trends (Ira, Melanie). 2. Increased volume of arbitrations and mass arbitrations (Ira, Dan). 3. A general emphasis on “unfair” practices, including a close look at alleged unlawful fees (Ira). 4. Crypto industry practices -fees, deception and third-party responsibility (Ira). 5. National Bank Act preemption and DIDMCA opt-out litigation (Joseph). If you missed listening to part 1 of this re-purposed webinar, you can access the podcast in the link to the following blog which appears here. The blog describes the topics we covered. Alan Kaplinsky, the former chair for 25 years and now the Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group, hosted the podcast show.

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes a closer look at two often misunderstood investing vehicles: mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Building on last week's discussion about stocks and bonds, Darryl breaks down the key differences between these two types of funds, how they operate, and what investors need to know when deciding between them. Through real-world examples, historical context, and practical insight, Darryl explains why the evolution from mutual funds to ETFs has reshaped modern investing - and why understanding the nuances between them could be critical for your financial future. Key highlights of the episode include: • The origin of mutual funds, their human-driven decision-making, and the potential risks of overconcentration. • Why exchange traded funds (ETFs) offer lower costs, greater accessibility, and often outperform traditional mutual funds. • The behavioral traps of ETFs - including the temptation to panic-sell - and why discipline is key. • The truth about 401(k)s, IRAs, and how they simply serve as “wrappers” for your actual investments. • When actively managed mutual funds may still outperform passive index funds - and where an advisor can add real value. Whether you're debating between mutual funds and ETFs or simply want a better grasp of where your money is invested, this episode provides a thoughtful, accessible guide to making smarter investment choices - with an eye always on the bigger picture.
