Top Stories

1. Fiserv Partners with Cognition to Deploy AI Software Engineer ‘Devin’ for Core Modernization

  • PYMNTS / Business Insider · 2026-05-28
  • Summary: Fiserv has entered a strategic partnership with Cognition to deploy its AI software engineer, Devin, across core platform modernization initiatives. The collaboration aims to accelerate historically slow modernization efforts, shorten release cycles, and enhance platform stability for Fiserv’s financial institution clients. This follows Cognition’s recent $1 billion fundraise at a $26 billion valuation.
  • Why It Matters: This represents a major enterprise deployment of an autonomous AI agent in core banking, moving beyond chatbots into direct system engineering. It signals a shift where AI agents handle complex codebases, forcing a reevaluation of engineering capacity and speed-to-market in financial services.

2. ASIC Signals Collaborative Regulatory Shift for AI and Fintech

  • Financial Standard · 2026-05-28
  • Summary: ASIC Chair Joe Longo announced a more collaborative regulatory approach for AI, tokenization, and digital assets in Australia. Longo proposed assigning dedicated regulatory contacts to startups to navigate licensing and hinted at improving the regulatory sandbox framework to provide certainty for emerging fintechs.
  • Why It Matters: Regulatory clarity is a bottleneck for AI-native finance. A shift toward “innovation-focused” supervision and dedicated support could lower compliance costs and accelerate the launch of AI-driven financial products in Australia.

  • FinTech Global · 2026-05-28
  • Summary: Mouro Capital has completed the first close of its third fund at $400 million, entirely backed by Banco Santander. The fund has already invested in AI companies including ElevenLabs and Sakana AI, targeting capital markets, wealth management, and AI-driven GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance).

4. Fintech Layoffs Surpass 9,700 in 2026 as AI Reshapes Workforce

  • People Matters · 2026-05-28
  • Summary: The global fintech sector has recorded at least 9,706 job cuts in 2026, driven by aggressive AI adoption and investor demands for profitability. Major players like PayPal (20% reduction) and Block (4,000 cuts) are restructuring towards smaller, AI-assisted teams, moving beyond post-pandemic corrections to structural changes.
  • Why It Matters: The shift from “growth at all costs” to “efficiency via AI” is causing significant social displacement. For industry leaders, this confirms that AI is not just augmenting but replacing human roles in compliance, customer service, and back-office functions.

  • Why It Matters: Unlike typical VC funds, this is a strategic, captive build-or-buy initiative by a major financial player. It reflects the global trend of financial institutions internalizing AI R&D to create proprietary moats rather than relying solely on third-party vendors.

  • Why It Matters: Corporate lending is a high-friction, labor-intensive area ripe for disruption. If AI can reliably automate credit appraisal documentation, it reduces loan processing times and risk for banks, potentially reshaping commercial lending workflows.
