AI is no longer a pilot project in financial services. That was the clear message from the 2026 BAFT International Trade & Payment Conference, where a panel on AI in compliance and fraud detection focused less on experimentation and more on execution.

According to Quantifind, moderated by BNY senior vice president of global payments and trade Ryan Lastra, the discussion brought together Quantifind vice president of strategic client partnerships Teresa Buechner and BNY senior vice president of domestic payments Sumner Francisco to explore how institutions must now govern, explain and collaborate around AI in an increasingly networked risk environment.

The discussion was moderated by Ryan Lastra, Senior Vice President of Global Payments and Trade at BNY, and featured Teresa Buechner, VP of Strategic Client Partnerships at Quantifind, alongside Sumner Francisco, Senior Vice President of Domestic Payments at BNY.

What stood out wasn’t a debate about whether AI belongs in financial services. That question has already been answered. The conversation focused instead on what comes next:

  1. How institutions govern AI
  2. Explain its decisions
  3. Collaborate across organizational boundaries in an environment where financial crime and fraud are increasingly networked
