#NEXT DIFI 2016, bringing together industry leaders, policy makers, regulators and experts to explore the disruptive forces that are shaping the financial sector into the future and discuss where opportunities lie.
Banks must move with the times if they are to provide the products, services and experiences that today’s customers demand. Technological, economic, political and social change has altered the financial landscape forever. Banks that do not innovate, evolve and improve will lose out to more versatile and adaptive competitors.
Through presentations, panel sessions and on-stage interviews, senior executives from regional and international banks will join leaders from other organisations to give their views on what banks must do to stay ahead of the game.
These are crucial times for financial institutions. A volatile economic environment, disruptive innovations, new entrants to the market place and a changing regulatory landscape are all transforming traditional business models and creating a new playing field in the industry.
As fintech innovations, peer-to-peer lending and big data open the door to new entrants and stimulate greater competition, disruptors are creating alternative modes of finance and shaking up the sector. At the same time, incumbent players are rethinking their business models to remain relevant to a new generation of clients while satisfying the requirements of regulators, shareholders and investors.
