AI Adoption Survey and Fintech Trends with Jas Randhawa
In this episode of FinTech Layer Cake, host Reggie Young welcomes back Jas Randhawa, Founder and Managing Partner at Strategy Brix, for a candid look at how fintechs are really using AI in compliance.
Drawing insights from a new survey of nearly 100 fintech companies, Jas shares what’s hype versus reality, why most teams are still in the ‘talking’ phase, and where budgets and talent investments are falling short. He also explores how AI will reshape compliance roles, the importance of training over tooling, and why regulation might never catch up.
Finally, Jas explains why he’s bullish on crypto and stablecoins—and how traditional banks are quietly following fintechs’ lead. For anyone building, leading, or scaling in fintech compliance, this episode delivers clear-eyed perspective and practical takeaways.
