In this episode, Paolo Sironi speaks with Driss Temsamani, author of the new book The Agentic Bank—a practitioner’s roadmap that shows how finance is shifting from platforms to intelligence. Temsamani, a three-decade banking leader and advisor to central banks and regulators, explains how AI-powered agents are bringing autonomy, reasoning, and collaboration into the heart of modern institutions, creating the AI-native financial institution where humans and intelligent agents work side by side. Through the living example of Lisa, a corporate treasurer, he shows how real-time cash-flow forecasting, liquidity optimization, risk management, and compliance adaptation become possible today. The conversation moves from visionary insight to practical execution, covering the agentic transformation of liquidity, payments, risk, and client engagement, as well as the fusion of AI with blockchain for tokenization and modern market infrastructure. Join this episode to gain the keys to building, deploying, and governing agentic systems so that the institutions that act now will not merely survive the AI era—they will define it.
