BUUT, Building a bank from scratch in the AI era

BUUT, the free bank for young people, sponsored by ABN Amro, launched in late 2025. BUUT is rapidly gaining momentum into her target segments. How is BUUT’s AI-first orchestration helping it move at neobank speed? What does it mean to build a bank from scratch in an AI-first era? How does BUUT stay aligned with its sponsor in a highly regulated environment? This session explores both sides: how AI enables a small team to operate at startup speed from within a regulated bank, and how AI-native, company-wide orchestration helps a new generation build trust in banking while enabling BUUT to solve problems that matter to its customers, who increasingly see their bank as a utility.

Takeaways: How AI-first teams increase delivery speed without compromising compliance. What changes when an organization is designed AI-first, not AI-enabled. How to combine startup velocity with bank-grade trust. Why the future of banking is orchestration, not just automation.
