In an era defined by rapid technological evolution, geopolitical uncertainty and shifting customer expectations, transaction banking finds itself at a crossroads. Euromoney sat down with Simon Paris, then CEO of Finastra, and Sylvie Boucheron-Saunier, Finastra’s CRO for payments, to discuss how banks can best move forward.

The past decade has seen transaction services undergo dramatic change, consistently leading the charge in innovation. And with an overlapping institutional client base, custodians are now recognising the urgent need for a measured modernisation of their services to the industry. We explore the parallels between the transaction banking and custody sectors, examining lessons from transaction banking that could shape the future of custody.

Citi’s Chris Cox talks to Euromoney about building a modern trade finance platform, tackling geographic fragmentation and embracing client-centric innovation.
