This will allow FIS to build future tools independently.<\/p>\n<p>The architecture relies on Anthropic\u2019s Claude models for reasoning. Client data remains entirely within FIS infrastructure to maintain regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Stephanie-Ferris.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83469 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Stephanie-Ferris-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Stephanie Ferris\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"  \/><\/a>Stephanie Ferris<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery bank in the world wants AI that acts, not just assists.
