Mahika RavishankarHostBut to start with a little bit of background, I wanna hear about the external forces that are shaping transaction banking right now.
Llewellyn, how is the macro environment showing up in treasurers' data and decision-making?
That's increasing complexity in treasury operations and treasury processes.
And then secondly, you have a lot of geopolitical activity, and that is increasing uncertainty, increasing risk.
That is increasing the friction in all cross-border activity right now and increasing the uncertainty and the risks around supply chains.
There is a lot of transformation required from businesses and, at the same time, increasing the risk of fraud and cybersecurity that are becoming such critical challenges for businesses.
And one of the key challenges behind that is all of these systems are moving rapidly, but the data and integration layers often lag, and that means that basically the decision cycles, the speed of decisioning is increasing really rapidly, but the foundational data is not.
And you put all of that together, and you've basically got a less predictable, higher-risk environment, the need for treasurers to make decisions really, really quickly.
And so their fundamental ask is they don't just need to make decisions and understand businesses.
They need to do it at the speed that the environment dictates and with data that they can trust.
That's a pretty interesting background, especially to hear aboutThe data itself not increasing in conjunction with the risk.
