What happens when AI stops recommending payments and starts making them?

Agentic AI could fundamentally change corporate banking. From preparing transactions and managing liquidity to coordinating complex workflows, AI agents are moving beyond passive assistance towards taking real financial actions.

But with greater autonomy comes a critical question: who is actually in control?

In this episode of coco:cast, we explore:

• How agentic AI differs from traditional banking AI
• Practical use cases in payments, treasury, trade finance and KYC
• The different levels of AI autonomy
• Why identity, permissions and financial authority matter
• How banks can enable AI-driven actions without compromising control
• What AI governance and regulation mean for the future of banking

The central argument: AI may understand intent, recommend actions and orchestrate processes. But trusted banking infrastructure must determine what is actually authorised.

Because giving AI the intelligence to manage money doesn't mean giving it the keys to the vault.

The EUDI Wallet is often discussed as a new way to prove digital identity. For corporate banking, its potential goes much further.

In this episode of coco, we explore how the EUDI Wallet and the emerging European Business Wallet could reshape onboarding, authentication, mandate management and payment approvals – and why trusted digital credentials may become a fundamental layer of future corporate banking.

We also look at how EUDI could connect with PSD3 and FiDA, what this means for treasury teams managing multiple banking relationships, and why the real opportunity is not simply fewer documents, but a more consistent way to establish identity, authority and consent.
