Banking Trends 2025: What to Expect in Retail and Self-Service Banking
Banking trends 2025 are set to redefine how institutions operate and engage with their customers. After a year of rapid innovation in 2024, the banking sector is poised to further embrace digital transformation. Key developments will include expanded access to cash, smarter use of customer data, and the implementation of stronger cybersecurity strategies.
As digital expectations continue to grow, banks will prioritize self-service channels, investing in AI-powered tools to improve personalization and operational efficiency. In 2025, retail banking is expected to deliver more targeted services based on customer behavior, using advanced analytics and machine learning models. This shift will also help banks remain competitive and compliant with evolving regulatory frameworks.
One of the most critical banking trends for 2025 is the integration of generative AI to enhance customer interactions and automate internal workflows. Chatbots and virtual assistants are already changing the way customers access services, and in the coming months, we’ll see them become even more intelligent and proactive.
At the same time, banks will need to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. With increasing data volumes and growing threats, advanced fraud detection and real-time monitoring will be essential to protect both institutions and their customers.

ATM Security 2025: Threat Landscape and Protection Insights
ATM security 2025 is a growing concern for financial institutions facing increasingly sophisticated attacks. Understanding the threat landscape is essential to strengthen protection strategies and reduce risks.
Auriga presents an in-depth analysis of the most common ATM attack vectors, from traditional skimming and jackpotting to malware such as Ploutus, Tyupkin, and Cutlet Maker. These cases demonstrate how attackers evolve rapidly, combining physical and digital techniques to bypass security controls.
The growing use of AI and machine learning by both attackers and defenders means banks must adapt quickly. Proactive monitoring, real-time threat detection, and the implementation of secure software are now baseline requirements.
