New Session Announcement: What Banks Can Learn from Fintechs to Maximize Growth in the Digital Era3/25/2022  The pandemic accelerated the digital transformation across all types of industries, and there is perhaps no fiercer competition than that between banks and fintech companies.

He possesses vast expertise on the topics of retail banking, wealth management, digital growth distribution, new monetization and engagement strategies. At the U.S. Fintech Symposium, Alex will share his insights on the lessons that banks can draw from fintechs, such as developing products/services that are more directly aimed at the customer’s needs, leveraging API and partnership strategies, how nontraditional business models can generate further growth, and how banks can better foster an overall culture of innovation.

 As Financial Institutions modernize their remote onboarding and online authentication methods, making them more secure and user-friendly (a trend further spurred by the recent pandemic), many realize they are left with outdated customer authentication systems in their physical premises. Consequently, identity fraud and impersonation occurring within the space that they instinctively call “home” can certainly represent a source of concern. Most of us instinctively realize that biometrics technology offers an obvious response to these challenges, capable of joining convenience and security at the highest levels… but can it just be imposed on the customer base, or is it a matter of ensuring a smooth transition from previously used authentication methods, which walk-in customers are already familiar with? Can it also be a matter of dealing with scepticism and reluctancy about a biometric scan occurring in a physical space – when perhaps the very same customers unlock their phone with their finger dozens of times a day, or dash though airports using Clear? Jean-Philippe would like to touch on these topics with you, including a final question: what about neo-banks, who generally do not need traditional branches? Can partnering in the fintech industry be a revenue multiplier? Is there a strategic benefit for financial institutions to partner with fintech solutions providers?

Thank you Bizzabo for featuring the U.S. Fintech Symposium!  The Buy Now Pay later business model has been a growing force in the past year. Factors that are contributed to this growth. We’ve seen a lot of development and competition in BNPL (Apple’s recent partnership with GS to offer BNPL, Square’s acquisition of AfterPay, PYPL dropping late fees for BNPL customers). Do you think we will see more companies adopting the BNPL model?
 This presentation will discuss the compliance requirements that Fintechs need to go-live. Most early-stage Fintechs don’t have staff on-hand who understand what is required from a compliance perspective (i.e., policies/procedures, transaction monitoring for AML & fraud, KYC, etc.). Fintechs need mentorship / guidance in this area as they work with their sponsor bank before going live. Sarah will address these issues, and advise on industry best practices.
