3rd Annual Retail Deposit Optimization and Strategic Management Canada | Marcus Evans | 24 April 2017 | Toronto, Canada`

Whilst regulatory pressure on financial institutions to rely on deposits for funding increases, the current economic climate of historically low interest rates means that obtaining deposits is more challenging than ever. Financial institutions need to create innovative new products and develop new strategies to improve customer acquisition and retention. The rise of FinTech has also put institutions under more pressure to ensure that the quality of their digital platforms matches that of their products and other services. Under these challenging circumstances, it is essential that financial institutions develop strategies to optimize their deposit business and retain profitability whilst complying with the regulatory requirements.
This GFMI conference will allow financial institutions to understand how to optimize their deposit strategies through innovative new products, competitive pricing strategies and enhancing their distribution channels. Attendees will recognize the importance of deposits for the current regulatory environment, whilst examining practical approaches to strengthen their online platforms and marketing campaigns to encourage the acquisition of new customers, as well as promoting a positive consumer experience in the long term.
