SWIFT Business Forum Madrid 2017 | SWIFT | 3 October 2017 | Madrid, Spain

Welcome to the SWIFT Business Forum Madrid 2017

Across Europe, our industry continues to grapple with powerful disruptive forces – regulation, cyber threats, new technologies and new entrants, as well as changing customer behaviour, to name just a few. Change is a constant, but are we now witnessing a fundamental challenge to established business models and operational processes? Will established financial services players such as banks simply be on the receiving end of this change – or can they take control and exploit these disruptive forces for competitive advantage?

The programme for this event will combine keynote speeches and panel discussions to address a number of topics including:

The evolution of the European payments landscape
The future of cross-border payments – what’s in it for corporates?
Regulation shaping the financial industry
Financial crime compliance
How SWIFT is responding to key trends in the global financial industry
Following the announcement of SWIFT’s Customer Security Programme - a dedicated initiative to reinforce and evolve the security of global banking, we will also look at how well the financial industry fares on cyber security, discuss the challenges involved in defending our industry from cyber-attacks, and share expertise and best practices.
