In an age of rapid technological change, retail finance undergoes profound transformation. Generative AI and emerging tech reshape the industry, urging established players to adapt with agility. From AI-powered platforms to blockchain and IoT integration, the focus shifts to hyper-personalised customer experiences and real-time decision-making.

The traditional banking model faces challenges, as Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) gains traction, promoting unprecedented collaboration between banks, fintechs, and tech giants. Delves into these trends with masterclasses and panels, equipping senior executives from 20+ countries with actionable strategies for success.

Formerly known as the Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention, gathers industry leaders to explore the latest trends and strategies for success in this dynamic environment. This rebranding reflects the industry’s progression and its convergence towards strategic, innovative approaches that are set to dominate the financial domain.

Who should attend:
• CEOs, business heads and senior executives of retail banking, wealth management, credit cards and consumer credit who need to keep abreast of the latest banking technology strategies
• Senior executives of risk management, controls and business development
• Senior executives of operations, technology, systems and methods who need to gain insights into the business side of retail banking, insurance, asset management firms and private equity firms
• Regional managers, branch managers, and heads of marketing and distribution who need to expand their skill sets in a changing world

Key focus areas:
• Digital finance crossroads: Sustainability, security, and customer-centricity
• Mastering tomorrow’s technology
• Ecosystem: Incubators, accelerators and sandboxes
• Digital wallet insights: Adapting to financial evolution
