'Robotics' solutions are what new projects are

It's funny: a few years ago in the FO we heard a rumour that the bank was starting work on robotics, and were curious and some of my colleagues were keen to get involved. Robots! We didn't realise at the time that "robotics" is the word BO use to mean "any sort of automation, whatsoever". Even VBA. Banks are now trying to recruit graduates with the promise of working on "robotics", ho ho ho.



Yes. The term robotics as used in banking is a bit ridiculous. EUC is deeply frowned upon by audit however; a different name is used.

The access to quality tech BO has is terrible. Lack funding for people that can DIY and lack time and budget to experiment.

Fintech is not driven by tech but by regulation where banks are forced to make an investment in change, not just talk about it.
