Bringing the Bank of the Future to Today
Banks are the face of the financial industry yet as the world evolved and consumer needs started changing, newcomers in the form of fintech companies have started to crop up and are now a growing threat for those who are late to innovate.
These newcomers are armed with technology which utilises data to create products and services tailored to the modern consumers, filling the gap left by traditional banks who are weighed down by legacy technology.
In partnership with Asian Banking and Finance, digital technology expert Hitachi Vantara is hosting a 60-minute Virtual Roundtable called “Bringing the Bank of the Future to Today”, to discuss with technology chiefs, digital banking and analytics experts and other industry leaders in how the right financial technology can help them not just ride the digitalisation and automation wave but modernise operations and maximise the value of data to help banks reach the future faster.
In this executive roundtable we will:
THRIVE
- Identify the problems and bottlenecks in data management that keep banks from utilising the full potential of data.
- Unlock the secret behind discovering value in data


ACCELERATE
- Reimagine data management practices fit for the future.
