    Most recently, I spoke to my banking provider. I needed his help in changing the card limit. The chatbot helped me a lot, but it blocked my card at the end of the conversation. I think it happened because it didn't recognize my command. But it turns out that instead of helping, I unblocked the card for another 20 minutes. So I began to think about how long it will be released software with bugs that are not tested beforehand. And I also wondered if AI could change the financial sector for the better?

        Banks exist for one purpose: to prevent people having any access to their own money, and where this cannot be prevented by legal means delaying such access as long as physically possible. Once you understand all the ramifications of this, much of what they do - including apparent bugs in the software - begins to make sense. The application of artificial intelligence - indeed any intelligence at all - to the financial sector would interrupt the flow of old boys networking, insider trading, and embezzlement that is the mainstay of the whole system and will thus be managed to be as ineffective as possible.

              It will...? :doh: :doh: Have you read the insider news the last couple of years? Microsoft and many IoT companies are already doing it for years... :sigh: :sigh:

                I made a payment from my bank to pay off my credit card bill for the month. I then wanted to use that credit card a day or so later but it was rejected - lack of available credit. I called them about it and they said it can take up to 10 "business days" to clear the payment. Why? They knew about the payment pretty much instantly as they showed the "balance" reduced - but it took 10 more days for the "available credit" to increase because the sending bank had to confirm that they had sent the money and this can take up to 10 of those pesky business days (two weeks in other words). At this point I became speechless because my developer brain could not cope, so I hung up and used a different card for my shopping. Luckily I have two cards and can alternate between using them and paying them off. How do people with only one card manage?

                    When it comes time to renew your mortgage, the banks will give you 12 repayment options; only a few of which make economic sense relative to the others. They leave it up to you to pick the wrong one for you, but better for them. They also have a whole bunch of weasel words (from a 3rd party) to make you think you need "credit card balance" insurance and makes it sound "free".

                        If I knew how AI could improve FinTech I'd be developing something right now. :-D One area I'll have to do myself soon that maybe AI could help with is with reviewing transactions and looking for patterns.

                            Actually it was a Credit Union - when I made payments from my regular bank they cleared in a day (still too slow since the actual behind the scenes transactions are near instant when TPF systems communicate).

                                TPF (Transaction Processing Facility) is a high speed IBM operating system that, as its name implied, is used for very high speed processing of transactions such as when one bank talks to another (ACH is one example).

                                  ACH can be very slow. Depends on the bank's rules.

But it turns out that instead of helping, I unblocked the card for another 20 minutes. So I began to think about how long it will be released software with bugs that are not tested beforehand. And I also wondered if AI could change the financial sector for the better?

                                    Your banking provider is a chatbot? Given the fees I pay to my bank, they'll be losing a customer the instant I can't pick up the phone and talk to an actual real, live person. That said, I still give them the benefit of being away outside regular business hours.

                                      I made a payment from my bank to pay off my credit card bill for the month. I then wanted to use that credit card a day or so later but it was rejected - lack of available credit. I called them about it and they said it can take up to 10 "business days" to clear the payment. Why? They knew about the payment pretty much instantly as they showed the "balance" reduced - but it took 10 more days for the "available credit" to increase because the sending bank had to confirm that they had sent the money and this can take up to 10 of those pesky business days (two weeks in other words). At this point I became speechless because my developer brain could not cope, so I hung up and used a different card for my shopping. Luckily I have two cards and can alternate between using them and paying them off. How do people with only one card manage?

                                      - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                        It always used to take 3 days to move any money anywhere, but the rules changed and now it's pretty much instantaneous in the UK. In fact, I can do a transfer from my (Spanish owned) UK bank account to my US dollar account (with a US bank address and sort code) so fast that I get an SMS saying it's arrived before it shows as having left my UK account via the internet banking page ... :laugh:

                                          Most recently, I spoke to my banking provider. I needed his help in changing the card limit. The chatbot helped me a lot, but it blocked my card at the end of the conversation. I think it happened because it didn't recognize my command. But it turns out that instead of helping, I unblocked the card for another 20 minutes. So I began to think about how long it will be released software with bugs that are not tested beforehand. And I also wondered if AI could change the financial sector for the better?

                                          Leading fintech companies already extensively use AI to change the sector for the better.... for them. As others have said, fintech companies generally don't care about what's best for the customer. Like any business, their goal is to improve their profits. Having had some "FinTech" clients as a freelancer I know that in many cases their idea of "AI" involves a single IF statement. More often it involves totally ignoring the customers' input and directing them to whichever financial product they want to push that week.
