NEC Asia Pacific will showcase agentic AI, financial intelligence, insurance analytics and wealth management technology at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2026, running November 18–20 at Singapore EXPO. At Booth #3G31, the company plans to demonstrate how AI-driven workflow automation, supply chain finance capabilities and technology partnerships can help financial institutions improve decision-making, manage risk and modernize operations. The lineup includes NEC cotomi Agent, a browser-based workflow automation service, and wealth management solutions delivered in collaboration with Avaloq.

NEC Puts Agentic AI and Financial Decision-Making on Display

NEC’s showcase is built around a practical question facing banks, insurers and wealth managers: how can AI and connected financial technology improve day-to-day decisions without weakening oversight? Rather than presenting a single platform launch, the company is bringing together several offerings spanning workflow automation, corporate finance, insurance claims and wealth management.

One of the central demonstrations will be NEC cotomi Agent, which observes how users perform tasks through a web browser and captures repeatable operational knowledge. It can then apply those processes across web-based business systems, allowing workflows to be executed autonomously while retaining governance controls and human oversight.

The approach targets a common operational challenge in financial services: critical processes often depend on employees who understand complex systems, exceptions and internal procedures. Capturing that knowledge in reusable workflows could reduce reliance on manual task execution and help institutions standardize routine operations.

However, browser-based automation in financial environments must be assessed against access controls, auditability, data protection and the risk of agents taking unintended actions. NEC’s announcement describes human oversight and governance as part of the service, but does not detail its control architecture, integration requirements or the range of systems supported.

Agentic AI Extends into CFO and Treasury Workflows

NEC is also presenting Financial Insights and Supply Chain Finance, developed with TASConnect. The offering combines agentic AI, financial data and financing capabilities to help corporate finance teams anticipate scenarios, manage working capital and improve liquidity decisions.

This area of financial technology has implications beyond banks. CFOs and treasury teams need timely visibility into receivables, payables, cash positions and supply-chain exposures. Better-connected financial information could help businesses identify funding requirements earlier and make more informed decisions about liquidity.

Supply chain finance can also connect corporate buyers, suppliers and financial institutions through financing arrangements linked to commercial transactions. Digital platforms may help coordinate data and processes across those participants, although the effectiveness of these models depends on data quality, supplier onboarding, financing availability and risk assessment.

NEC’s partnership with TASConnect is intended to combine technology and financing capabilities across this ecosystem. The company has not disclosed specific deployment figures, customer results or the detailed commercial structure of the offering.

The theme will also feature in a November 20 fireside chat titled Connecting Capital to Commerce: Tokenisation and the Next Generation of Supply Chain Finance. Speakers include Eric Barbier, founder and CEO of Triple-A; Madhivanan Periannan, CTO of TASConnect; and Suresh Neelakantan, NEC APAC’s head of innovation and development for digital finance.

AI Image Analytics Targets Insurance Claim Fraud

Another demonstration focuses on motor insurance claims. NEC’s image analytics technology examines photographs submitted during claims to identify potential fraud, including pre-existing or staged damage and inconsistencies between visible damage and the reported accident.

Claims assessment remains a resource-intensive process for insurers, particularly when adjusters must review large volumes of images and supporting information. Image analysis can help flag cases for closer examination, support more consistent assessments and potentially reduce claim leakage.

The technology is positioned as decision support rather than a replacement for claims professionals. Image-based assessments can be affected by photograph quality, lighting, camera angles and incomplete evidence. Insurers adopting such systems also need to consider false positives, explainability and how automated findings are incorporated into claims decisions.

NEC has not provided accuracy rates, measured fraud-detection improvements or details about the datasets used to develop and validate the system. Those details will be important for institutions assessing the technology’s performance in real claims environments.

Avaloq Partnership Focuses on Wealth Management Modernization

Wealth management is the other major pillar of NEC’s showcase. Through its Financial Technology Partnerships approach, NEC combines consulting, engineering and regional delivery capabilities with platforms and specialist providers. Its work with Avaloq illustrates this model.

NEC’s Avaloq Wealth Management Implementation Services bring together the platform’s capabilities and NEC’s financial services expertise to support institutions modernizing wealth management operations. Avaloq’s integrated front-to-back system covers areas including client onboarding, payments, investment management, credit, treasury, risk and compliance.

A unified data model and real-time accounting are intended to connect processes across the wealth management lifecycle. For financial institutions, this can provide a more consistent operational foundation as they expand into new markets, serve different client segments and introduce more personalized digital experiences.

Avaloq’s Asia Pacific managing director Vibhooti Chaturverdi said the collaboration is focused on connecting data, processes and ecosystems across wealth management. The companies also plan to discuss AI-enabled client experience and the operational challenges of deploying AI in complex banking environments during the festival.

SFF Provides a Wider Test of Financial AI Priorities

NEC’s participation comes as the Singapore FinTech Festival puts technology, capital, policy, talent and geoeconomics at the center of its 2026 program. The event is organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Global Finance & Technology Network, in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore. Its official program includes sessions on AI, digital assets, cyber resilience, digital banking and financial infrastructure.

The company’s six scheduled fireside discussions will address partnership-led financial transformation, AI-powered client experience, agentic AI for CFO and treasury decisions, AI in banking operations, digital supply chain financing in Thailand and tokenization in supply chain finance.

For NEC, the exhibition provides an opportunity to position its financial services business around applied AI and integration rather than standalone software. For prospective customers, the more consequential questions will concern measurable efficiency gains, implementation complexity, governance and interoperability with existing banking and insurance systems.

NEC will exhibit at Booth #3G31 in Hall 3 from November 18 to 20. The festival’s exhibitor directory independently lists NEC under banking technology, digital assets, financial infrastructure, InsurTech and FinTech.

Market Landscape

Financial institutions are moving from isolated AI pilots toward technology that can be integrated into operational workflows. Three developments are particularly relevant to NEC’s showcase:

• Agentic AI and workflow automation: Financial institutions are evaluating AI agents for repeatable tasks in operations, treasury and customer servicing. Governance, access permissions and audit trails remain essential for deployment.
• Financial intelligence and supply chain finance: Connected financial data can improve liquidity visibility and financing decisions. Adoption depends on reliable data exchange between buyers, suppliers, lenders and technology providers.
• AI-enabled insurance and wealth management: Image analytics can support claims investigation, while integrated wealth platforms can connect front-office advice with investment, accounting, risk and compliance operations.

The competitive challenge is no longer simply demonstrating AI capabilities. Technology providers must show how their systems integrate with legacy infrastructure, meet regulatory expectations and produce measurable operational improvements.
