Exchange Day Two - June 14

3:40 PM ONE-ON-ONE EXPERT INTERVIEW - Comparing a FinTech approach to a TradFi world

As Fintechs and Neo Banks become an ever-more established market presence in the UK and Europe, the broader financial sector has started to follow their embrace of technology across their business. The world of anti-financial crime is no different here, and an approach consisting of technology and automation whilst still offering a frictionless client experience is an approach TradFi often looks to mirror.

 

  • How easily can the lessons learned from NeoBanks and fintechs be applied to large traditional institutions with embedded legacy tech stacks? 
  • What are the typical hurdles in automating previously manual systems and services, and how can these be overcome?
  • Can you implement a tech-first approach to fighting financial crime in an institution which is not tech-first in general?

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Euan.
