Nucleus Software has unveiled its latest AI-driven digital banking solutions at the 20th IDC Asian Financial Services Congress and Awards, held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. The event, which took place on 18 July 2025, gathered over 120 chief information officers and senior technology leaders from across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. The congress focused on themes such as AI transformation, regional payment modernisation, and central bank digital currency readiness, aiming to foster a resilient and interoperable financial ecosystem in the region.
The congress featured a notable fireside chat titled “Changing the Engine Whilst the Bus Is Running: A Pragmatic Path to Transformation for Heritage BFSIs.” Chandima Cooray, Chief Information Officer of Hatton National Bank, and Aabhinna Suresh Khare, Chief Marketing Officer of Nucleus Software, discussed the challenges and strategies of transforming legacy financial institutions in real-time environments. Cooray emphasised the importance of balancing regulatory trust, operational continuity, and digital agility in the transformation process.
Nucleus Software’s presence at the congress underscores its mission to drive AI-enabled transformation for financial institutions across Southeast Asia. Through its integrated platforms—FinnOne Neo for lending, FinnAxia for transaction banking, and Nucleus Digital Services for cloud-ready innovation—the company supports initiatives such as credit inclusion for MSMEs in Indonesia and faster digital onboarding in Vietnam.
Khare highlighted AI’s transformative potential, stating, “AI is a mindset shift—reshaping how banks think, decide, and deliver.” He noted that AI enables banks to move from reactive to predictive operations, enhancing speed, personalisation, and risk management. As Southeast Asia embraces a digital-first financial future, Nucleus Software remains committed to empowering banks to lead with intelligence and agility.
