Alexa now Provides Financial Information to USAA Members

By now, you’ve probably heard of Alexa, a voice activated service developed by Amazon that provides capabilities that enable customers to interact with devices. Just last week, USAA went live with a virtual assistant that works with Alexa so customers can answer questions about their accounts, balances, spending and transactions. USAA has taken the functionality of Alexa to another level, allowing users to speak naturally and conversationally about their financial transactions, rather than using scripted commands.

Bank of America Files Blockchain Patents

Across the globe, many financial institutions have already begun adopting blockchain technology to ensure digital ledgers of economic transactions can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value. In order to stay at the forefront of Technology, Bank of America is patenting some of the use cases of blockchain.  In fact, they have filed for 15 blockchain-related patents and are currently in the process of drafting another 20 to be submitted to the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office.

The End of the Beginning of Fintech

Former CEO of Barclays, Anthony Jenkins, said banks could become irrelevant if they fail to keep up with fintech, suggesting that digital ledger solutions are saving companies between $80 billion and $100 billion a year by being able to settle and clear transactions near real-time.  Such a revolution is taking place in fintech that Jenkins believes the financial services industry will experience a 50% decline in banks and staff over the next ten years.
