I walked the floor at Money20\/20<\/a> in Amsterdam with a simple little mission: count the first ten vendor booths using \"AI,\" \"agent,\" or \"agentic\" in their pitch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first impression was that this would be hard. Hundreds of organizations, and the buzzwords felt oddly absent — payments, core banking, compliance, the usual fintech furniture, but not the wall-to-wall \"agentic everything\" I'd braced for. I jotted down my first ten and thought: huh, AI is barely here<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I kept walking. And it turns out I'd just been looking past it. The \"agentic\" framing wasn't shouting from every banner, it had quietly landed within the messaging of nearly everyone. Once I got going and walked through all the many halls and areas, the ten gradually became twenty-plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's what I found, grouped by what these organizations are actually trying to do, which, for those who build the systems underneath all this, is the more interesting question than the word count itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core banking, reimagined as \"AI-native\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The platforms that run the actual ledgers are rebranding speed and adaptability as AI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
