Overview
The digital transformation that has upended industries from retail and media to transport and business-to-business commerce is now sweeping the financial services industry. Although financial services have been computerised for decades, with products such as retail brokerage using digital channels for some 20 years, a more radical transformation of the industry has been delayed till recent years. This was inevitable, as ubiquitous computing power, pervasive connectivity, mass data storage, and advanced analytical tools can easily and efficiently be applied to financial services.
A new wave of FinTech companies is offering point solutions in product areas such as payments, remittances, savings and investments, personal financial management, trade and invoice finance, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), lending, and insurance. Innovations are also directed at processes such as Anti-Money Laundering-Know Your Customer (AML-KYC) compliance, credit scoring, underwriting and risk management, customer service, collections and recovery, capital markets activities, asset securitisation, middle- and back-office reporting, trade processing, and connectivity between banking systems.
Learning Objectives
- Learn about the development of finance and technology in recent history, major technological trends and stakeholders in the ecosystem
- Gain insights into how new technologies are reinventing financial services in the new ecosystem
- Learn about the concepts and functionality of these technologies and how they are being used to provide services, how they work and where the opportunities and challenges are
- Understand how companies/ financial service institutions can leverage into the future and select the right digitalisation strategy in order to increase their client outreach and deliver a wide range of financial services via new channels
- Learn how financial service institutions can respond to new regulations with agility, while ensuring that that the customer experience does not suffer
