Xinghe Intelligent Financial Network Evolves to Drive Agentic Banking Transformation

Under the theme Beyond Digital, Advance to Agentic Banking, the Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit 2026 (HiFS 2026) was recently held at the Lianqiu Lake Campus in Shanghai. During the event, Huawei announced a comprehensive upgrade to its Xinghe Intelligent Financial Network. 

This pivotal upgrade is designed to support the highly efficient generation, secure transmission, and ultra-fast consumption of AI tokens, thereby empowering global financial institutions to accelerate their digital intelligent transformation.

During his keynote speech "Xinghe Intelligent Financial Network: Advancing Agentic Banking with Always-on AI Connectivity," Kevin Yang, Vice President of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, highlighted that as the industry enters the token-centric AI Data Center (DC) era, core financial services—including payment and settlement, credit financing, wealth management, and risk control—are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. 

Consequently, the sector is confronting three major challenges: 

•    Surging token consumption
•    Escalating security risks
•    Rising O&M complexity 

The Xinghe Intelligent Financial Network addresses these challenges by integrating storage-compute-network fabrics within data centers, deploying quantum security for WANs, and ensuring end-to-end application experience across campus networks. This approach streamlines the full token lifecycle—from efficient generation and secure transmission to ultra-fast consumption. 
Through the three-layer defense mechanism of network-agent-host, the network achieves multi-dimensional security protection featuring AI versus AI and AI guards AI. At the O&M level, the newly upgraded StarryWing Digital Map and NetMaster network agent have enabled day-level deployment of intent-driven changes and AI-driven self-handling of 95% of faults. These advancements have established a robust network foundation for always-on financial services.

At the roundtable AI Reshapes Network Resilience Architecture & AIOps, Huawei experts systematically introduced the automated network resilience assessment solution. To address the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional manual assessment, this solution is built on ITU-T standards and structured around six core dimensions and 95 metrics. By leveraging automated tools to quantify network strengths and weaknesses, identify risks, and provide actionable evolution recommendations, it empowers the financial industry to build a more secure and reliable digital network architecture.

Yu Lu, NCE Product Director for Data Center Networks at Huawei Data Communication Product Line, presented the AI-powered Autonomous Driving Network (ADN) L4 solution. To address the continuous growth in network scale and complexity—which has outpaced traditional manual O&M capabilities—this solution leverages the iMaster NCE Network Digital Map and the multimodal inference algorithms of the NetMaster network agent to achieve error-free design and deployment driven by service intent. Furthermore, by utilizing dynamic Chain-of-Thought (CoT) technology to orchestrate across multiple systems, the solution enables AI to autonomously resolve 95% of network faults.

Huawei has served the financial sector for over 16 years and partnered with more than 7,100 financial institutions across 80 countries. For four consecutive years, Gartner® has named Huawei a Leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure. Huawei has also been recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Center Switching, positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision.

Moving forward, Huawei remains a strategic partner for financial institutions undergoing AI-driven transformation. By collaborating with a global network of ecosystem partners, Huawei helps the industry move beyond basic digitization to accelerate the transition to "Agentic Banking" and unlock new value in the intelligent era.
