AI for financial services that changes how you operate, serve customers and compete.

Updated October 12, 2026 • 7 min read

We help financial services organisations identify where AI creates real commercial value, then design and build the products, platforms and workflows to make it happen. From improving existing operations to creating entirely new propositions, we turn AI opportunity into something that works in the real world.

Our work in financial services spans financial wellbeing, Open Banking, payments and loyalty, giving us first-hand experience of building products around financial data, existing infrastructure and complex customer journeys.

Where AI creates advantage in financial services.

AI creates opportunities across customer experience, operations and entirely new products and services. We start with your business: where value is created today, where friction exists and where technology can genuinely move the needle.

That might mean intelligent workflows that reduce manual work, AI-supported decision-making, more personalised customer experiences or entirely new propositions built around capabilities that weren’t previously possible.

The technology follows the opportunity, not the other way around.

What AI looks like in practice.

The most valuable AI products rarely operate in isolation. They need to work with existing platforms, data, workflows and people, while meeting the standards of security, reliability and control expected of financial products.

Our financial-services work has included integrating Open Banking through Plaid, building products around income and spending data and developing applications that work directly with payment-terminal infrastructure.

That experience matters when introducing AI into products and systems that already have complex technology and user requirements.

We combine deterministic software with AI where it adds value, designing and building systems that can automate, predict, interpret and act. We validate them in real-world conditions and design around the commercial and operational realities of running AI at scale.

Who we work with in financial services.

We work with ambitious organisations looking to improve existing financial products, rethink how their business operates or create something entirely new.

For Mintago, we designed and built a financial wellbeing platform across iOS, Android and web, including Open Banking integration and tools that help employees understand their finances and plan towards financial goals.

For Payment Loyalty, we explored payment infrastructure across multiple payment service providers before designing and building a customer-facing payment-terminal application and merchant platform for creating and managing loyalty programmes. Neither started with a predetermined technology. They started with the product, the users and the problem to solve. We bring the same approach to AI: identify where it can create meaningful value, then design and build the product around it.

Why Studio Graphene.

AI-native isn’t a feature we add. It’s how we work. We bring product strategy, design and development together, combining commercial thinking with product, design and engineering expertise to take an opportunity from idea through to production.

Our experience building financial products means we understand the realities that sit around the technology: existing systems, sensitive data, complex user journeys and the importance of making new capabilities simple and trustworthy for the people using them.

300+ high-impact products delivered. Studios in London, Delhi, Lisbon and Geneva. In-house expertise across strategy, design, engineering and emerging technology. Built for today, ready for what’s next.
