AI in Financial Intermediation Could Cut 3 Hours to 1 Second [KIW 2026]

At KIW 2026, a message emerged that artificial intelligence could change the paradigm of the financial intermediation market. The key point was that tasks in the intermediation process that once took three hours could be reduced to about one second. Financial intermediation has traditionally required time for information checks, judgment and matching, but AI could significantly alter processing speed and efficiency. The remarks suggest that AI may influence not just support functions but the way financial services operate. The report is based on comments made at KIW 2026. Source: hankyung.com
