FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Distinctive Insights Launches Research Service Tracking the Use of AI in Financial Services

New venture from industry veteran delivers deep analysis of real-world AI adoption across banking and investment management.

London, UK — 13th May 2025

A new research company, Distinctive Insights, has officially launched, delivering research that tracks the real-world application of AI and data-driven technologies across the global financial services sector.

Founded by Nick Newport, a long-standing industry leader with over two decades of experience in market intelligence and research for financial institutions, Distinctive Insights aims to become the trusted source for professionals seeking timely, practical insights into how AI is reshaping the sector.

“We’re not just tracking the theory of AI — we’re analysing how it’s being applied in real world scenarios in business teams,” said Newport. “From credit risk modelling to legal process automation, financial crime detection to wealth management compliance — our reports focus on actual use cases, vendor activity, partnerships, funding, and technical approaches being used on the ground.”

Each report focuses on a specific domain or business process — such as credit risk, trading, finance and treasury, or legal contract management — and includes:

  • Deep-dive analysis of institutional initiatives and technology adoption.
  • Profiles of relevant software vendors and partnerships.
  • Tracking of funding rounds and technology releases.
  • Technical coverage of AI methods including generative AI, knowledge graphs, cognitive search, and more.

The research is available via subscription, with full access to all reports and the full archive. Individual reports are also available for one-off purchase, and each publication includes a publicly accessible summary. In addition to reports, Distinctive Insights maintains a blog and weekly newsletter focused on AI innovation in financial services.

The company has been generating research in stealth mode since 2024.  This stock of research is now accessible via the company website.

The platform is designed for senior professionals across financial institutions, fintech vendors, investors, analysts, and strategic consultants who need to stay ahead of fast-moving developments in applied AI.
