In libreria “Verso la nuova banca” di Devie Mohan, testo internazionale di riferimento su banche, fintech e AI. Edizione italiana a cura di Maurizio Primanni
The future of banks will not lie in the opposition between traditional institutions and fintechs, but in the ability to build partnerships, integrated platforms and digital ecosystems. This is the thesis at the heart of Verso la nuova banca. Partnership banche-fintech, utilizzazione dell’intelligenza artificiale e creazione di ecosistemi digitali nei servizi finanziari by Devie Mohan, a London-based fintech analyst and one of the leading international experts in the sector, just published by Guerini Next (280 pages, €35) in the Italian edition edited by Maurizio Primanni, founder and president of Gruppo Excellence.
The volume — considered an international reference text on fintech and banking evolution — analyses the transformation of the financial system after the 2008 crisis, covering Challenger Banks, bank-fintech partnerships, artificial intelligence, data, APIs and digital platforms. The book also highlights how AI and new digital models are redefining not only distribution channels, but the entire industrial architecture of the sector and the relationship between technology, data and the customer.
The Italian edition, edited by Maurizio Primanni, adapts the original text The Financial Services Guide to Fintech to the Italian market, with an in-depth focus on the national fintech landscape and two case studies: Weltix, active in private assets and banking partnerships, and Excellence Innovation, specialised in digital innovation and platforms for banking and wealth management.
The book is aimed at CEOs, board members, banking managers, innovation leaders, wealth management professionals and financial operators interested in the evolution of the global banking industry, from Challenger Banks to RegTech, from Big Tech to robo-advisory, through to blockchain and bank-fintech partnerships.
“The real opportunity,” Maurizio Primanni explains, “does not lie in the opposition between banks and fintechs, but in the construction of hybrid, collaborative and scalable models. The future belongs to operators capable of orchestrating ecosystems, integrating financial and technological expertise, and enhancing data as a strategic asset. The central question for banking management is not whether to adopt innovation, but how to design, direct and govern it.”
