Carl Slabicki, Head of Commercial, Global Payments, and Trade for BNY, joined Zoe Hunt, Host of RIA Channel, at BNY INSITE 2026 to discuss how 24/7 payments, tokenization, and AI are transforming the financial services ecosystem.
Slabicki notes that the payments landscape was the first segment of financial services to embrace a 24/7, always-on environment, creating new opportunities to connect payments with working capital solutions and tokenized assets. He notes that wealth advisors, broker-dealers, and banks that deliver seamless digital experiences across these capabilities will be well positioned to differentiate themselves. He also highlights how AI is accelerating product development, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing client service across the payments ecosystem.
As the financial services industry continues to evolve, Slabicki emphasizes that innovation should not come at the expense of safety. Instead, he believes technologies such as AI and tokenization can strengthen transparency, resiliency, and operational controls while enabling firms to bring new products and capabilities to market more efficiently.
