Corporate Banking Reimagined: AI Co-Innovation with Zafin & Microsoft

Описание: In this episode of Banking Blueprints, Cameron Smonk speaks with Lucy Li (Microsoft) and Mun Tham (Zafin) about how AI, digitization, and rising client expectations are transforming corporate banking. Corporate treasurers now expect real-time insights, transparency, and seamless digital experiences—while banks face mounting pressure to prove client-level profitability and modernize legacy systems that still power pricing and billing.

Microsoft’s approach focuses on building the data, cloud, and AI foundation that enables new use cases like agentic workflows and trade finance digitization. Zafin complements this by modernizing the bank’s “economics layer”—centralizing pricing and billing data to make it transparent, programmable, and AI-ready. Their shared view: data and AI will soon be table stakes, but the real competitive edge will come from banks that make their economics intelligent, trusted, and ready for both people and machines.
