While the conversation around AI often centers on automation and efficiency, the real opportunity lies in AI’s ability to act as a decision-making layer. In this episode of One Vision podcast, Theodora Lau hosts Bianca Zwart, Chief Strategy Officer at bunq, to unpack what it truly means to be AI-native. For bunq, AI isn't a feature bolted onto an existing model. It's the operating system. Bianca shares how bunq's obsession with the user experience drives every technology decision. The conversation also explores what's next for agentic AI — and why the future isn't about AI taking over, but about making users smarter supervisors of their own financial lives.Plus: bunq's bold move into the US market, the needs of the people navigating life on both sides of the Atlantic, and why Bianca believes trust — not technology — is ultimately the only thing that matters.📍Hot take: “... the first question that you always need to answer is, what is in it for the user?”📍Hot take: “You can copy features. But you cannot copy DNA (of a company).”00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:47 Why bunq Is AI Native03:42 Meet Finn GenAI Platform08:26 US Expansion Strategy13:00 User First AI Mindset18:39 Privacy Trust and Transparency22:10 AI Fraud Prevention Journey24:11 What Keeps Bianca Going27:20 Closing and FarewellKeywords: AI, Fintech, User Experience, Banking Industry, User Centricity, GenAI, AI Ethics, AI in Banking, FraudMore about our guest 🌐Bianca Zwart on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bianca-zwart/ More about our host and One Vision Podcast 🌐Theodora Lau on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theodoralau/ 🌐Banking on (Artificial) Intelligence (book): https://www.bankingonaibook.com/ 🌐Unconventional Ventures (company): https://www.unconventionalventures.com/ 🌐Listen to all One Vision Podcast episodes by visiting: https://shows.acast.com/one-vision Hosted on Acast.
