Excellence in Digital Banking Summit
26-29 November 2024 | Amsterdam
Banks at a Turning Point: Extended Business Models & Partnerships
Banks are urged to respond to the imperatives of the new era by revising their existing business models towards a progressively “smarter” and more open financial ecosystem. This emerges from the decoding of the actual mid-term and long-term strategic plans of the Incumbents dictating a new operating model until 2030 and beyond. Banks need to quickly adopt a more sustainable and expanding approach geared towards their new role in the market.
