Independent intelligence on the technology reshaping finance
CloudFintech is an independent publication covering banking technology, payments, crypto, AI in financial services, and the regulation catching up with all of it. Free to read and edited by a named human.
What we cover
CloudFintech publishes analysis and reporting for professionals working in or adjacent to financial services. The aim is to go one level deeper than the trade press — with named companies, concrete examples, and honest acknowledgement of risk — rather than repackaging press releases or repeating consensus views.
We focus on the structural shifts reshaping how money moves and how financial institutions make decisions: the AI models replacing manual credit underwriting, the cloud-native platforms displacing legacy core banking, the stablecoin rails that are starting to settle real institutional payments, and the regulatory frameworks trying to keep pace with all of it.
How CloudFintech is produced
CloudFintech is an AI-assisted publication. Articles are drafted by large language models (Anthropic's Claude family) working from an editorial brief defined by the editor — topic selection, target audience, sourcing standards, and house style. The editor is accountable for everything published on the site.
What that means in practice:
- The editor picks what gets covered — topics are chosen based on reader interest (search query data, industry developments) and editorial judgement about what is worth saying.
- The AI drafts the copy to the editorial brief and house style. It is not treated as a source of fact.
- The editor performs the final fact-check — before a new or materially revised article is published, Alex checks its factual claims, calculations and cited sources. Scheduled drafts also pass a separate blocking web-grounded verification gate.
- The editor monitors published articles, edits where needed, and corrects or removes anything that fails fact-checking or falls below standard.
- The editor takes editorial responsibility for every article published on the site, whether they wrote the first draft or not.
We disclose this model openly because readers deserve to know how the content they consume is produced. Full sourcing standards, AI policy, and corrections procedure are set out on our editorial standards page.
Who runs CloudFintech
CloudFintech is independently owned and operated. It is not affiliated with a bank, a fintech vendor, or any party covered on the site. Editorial direction, topic selection, fact-checking and corrections are the responsibility of a single named editor:

Advertising
CloudFintech is free to read and intends to use display advertising through Google AdSense, but the site is not currently approved to serve ads. If advertising begins, advertisements will be clearly distinguished from editorial content. We do not accept sponsored articles, paid placements, or advertorial content. Advertisers have no influence over coverage, topic selection, or editorial position.
Where we add affiliate links to financial products in the future, the relationship will be disclosed inline at the link and on our editorial standards page.
