Former Temenos execs found GenAI banking tech start-up, yPilot
Two former Temenos executives, Todd Winship and Rayce Rossum, have co-founded a fintech start-up – yPilot – that focuses on GenAI technologies for financial institutions.
yPilot will bring GenAI solutions to banks and credit unions
Founded earlier this year and based in Vancouver, Canada, yPilot says it “leads the way in AI innovation for banks and credit unions”.
Its “banking-specific, embeddable AI” platform aims to help financial institutions “to delight customers, combat fraud, and solve compliance”.
Winship is the company’s CEO and Rossum is CTO.
Rossum spent seven years at Temenos, starting as a senior software engineer and moving to a senior principal data scientist. During his tenure there, he worked on various AI projects with banks such as Canadian Western Bank (CBW) and UBS.
Winship joined Temenos back in 2011, when the core banking tech heavyweight acquired his business intelligence company, Primisyn.
Winship founded Primisyn in 2007, providing data and analytics solutions to the Canadian credit union sector. By the time of acquisition, it had around 25 credit unions on the user list of its flagship Microsoft-based Simplus Enterprise Suite.
He remained with Temenos for nearly 13 years, heading its data and analytics business line as global product director.
“We are creating the future of financial services one intelligent application at a time,” yPilot states on its website.
