The World Economic Forum’s July 2025 white paper, in collaboration with Accenture, outlines how quantum technologies—computing, sensing, and security—can reshape financial services. Quantum computing enables advanced risk modeling, fraud detection, and portfolio optimization, while sensing offers ultra-precise timing and potential ESG data advantages. Quantum security combines post-quantum cryptography, QKD, and QRNG for layered defenses. Early pilots from HSBC, Banco Sabadell, Yapı Kredi, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Santander show tangible benefits. Success depends on six pillars: R\&D, infrastructure, public-private collaboration, entrepreneurship, education, and responsible deployment.
