I started the morning of Open Source in Finance Forum London 2026 earlier than I probably needed to, but I am glad I did.

After breakfast, I stepped out into the intense London heat at around 7:40am and began the 1.5-mile walk along the river toward the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster. It was already warm enough to make the walk feel like a small endurance event, but there was something energising about heading toward the conference on foot, mentally preparing for the day ahead.

Git Proxy v2.0 is more than a feature release. It is a maturity release. It removes several historical blockers to adoption and makes governed open source contribution more practical for regulated enterprises.

What a week in London! It was certainly a scorcher this year, with temperatures outside soaring. However, the heat outdoors was matched only by the incredible energy, collaboration, and innovation happening inside the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.

FDC3 started life with a deceptively simple goal: allow applications to work together.

The financial services industry is in the midst of a profound AI transformation. As firms increasingly find ways to integrate Generative AI and agentic AI systems, the focus has shifted from if we can use AI to how we can use it responsibly and securely. FINOS, through its open source initiatives, has been a leading voice in establishing frameworks to guide financial institutions in this evolving landscape.

Whether you missed the live call or want to revisit some of the insights, we’ve got you covered with the full recording and slides below. Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay connected with the FINOS community and catch up on the latest developments.

Cloud adoption in financial services has matured, but assurance has not kept pace. Banks and insurers have moved critical workloads into public and hybrid cloud environments, yet the underlying control work remains stubbornly repetitive. The same questions are asked by different teams, in different formats, at different times. 

The April 17, 2026 interagency MRM rewrite formally excludes generative and agentic AI from scope. That's not a retreat — it's an RFI window.
