The Digital Client

The panel will look at the client perspective and reflect on the changing expectations of consumers.
Digitalisation puts the client at the heart of the new business models. How will the client relationship
change? What are the key challenges for the industry in responding to the customers’ needs? Data will
play a key role in defining new business models and services. How can we reconcile this development
with the need for data protection, data privacy and data ownership? Are consumers ready for this brave
new world? Do they need more information, more education, more choice?

Coffee break

The Digital Bank

What are the challenges and opportunities for banks in the digital era? How robust is the competition
from new FinTechs? Is there an unlevel-playing field? Digitalisation will improve banks’ ability to manage
and analyse data. But will they be able to take advantage of these new possibilities? How are banks
positioning themselves in the new digital world? Are globally active global banks well placed to benefit
from these new developments? Can regulation play a role and what should be the role of supervisors?
