As enormous and complex as the U.S. economy is, would you believe it if I told you that the largest and most important industry is financial services?

I was surprised. But it’s true, and it makes sense when you think about it. After all, nothing happens in any industry without the free, effective flow of capital. Whatever a business or consumer is doing, the financial services sector — and the 6.75 million people it employs in the United States — has its hand in all of it.

BizTech covers every part of the U.S. economy, but we can’t ignore the special role that finance plays in making all the other parts work. So, welcome to BizTech: Financial Services, the publication we developed just for you. Our goal is to help you leverage technology to deliver exquisite services to your customers and clients, solve problems for your business and employees, and gain a competitive advantage over your rivals.

The Stakes Are High for Financial Services

There’s one tech-related challenge that financial services companies face as much or more than any other industry: security and compliance.

No industry confronts higher stakes or a more complex regulatory landscape than yours. People trust the industry to keep their money and their data safe, after all, and governments around the world have set up a vast array of rules to ensure that it’s doing so.

Fortunately, modern technology, especially artificial intelligence, has arrived to help. The group of experts we assembled to discuss the issue agreed that AI is a boon to financial institutions’ compliance but offer some warnings about ways the technology could be misused or misunderstood by employees.
