The banking world is under pressure. Risk teams are drowning in data, compliance rules are shifting faster than ever, and decision timelines are shrinking.
To help financial institutions make sense of it all, Q-Lana Inc and SME Banking Club are teaming up for a free online session on October 30 at 15:00 CET, titled
How AI Can Make Risk Management Easier.
The 45-minute discussion will explore how artificial intelligence can simplify the way banks detect, analyze, and act on risk, without taking away the human judgment that defines good banking.
A Fresh Take on an Old Problem
Every bank has the same struggle
– Christian Ruehmer, CEO of Q-Lana.
They have more data than ever before, but less time to make decisions. AI can help, not by replacing experience, but by giving risk teams a clearer picture, faster.
Ruehmer, who has spent decades advising banks on credit and portfolio management, will lead the conversation. He will be joined by Olena Gryniuk, CEE Director at SME Banking Club, known for her work connecting digital banking professionals across Central and Eastern Europe.
Together, they will explore how AI tools can help risk officers see early warning signs, reduce manual reporting, and build stronger data foundations for smarter decisions.
What the Session Will Cover
The webinar will dig into real-world examples, including:
How AI can strengthen credit assessments and portfolio monitoring
Ways to detect potential defaults before they escalate
How automation frees risk teams to focus on clients and strategy, not spreadsheets
Simple steps for introducing AI into existing risk frameworks
The focus, Ruehmer says, is on practicality, not buzzwords.
We want to show risk managers what is possible today, with the tools they already have. AI does not need to be a giant leap; it can start with one small, helpful step.
Who Should Attend
The event is open to professionals working in risk, credit, lending, and analytics who want to see how AI can make their work easier, and their results stronger.
Participants will also have the chance to ask questions and share their own experiences during the live session.
