The traditional financial services industry is in a state of flux. Regulators are making compliance and innovation difficult for financial services companies. Meanwhile, non-financial institutions are entering the market with a host of services designed around the customers. Getting a loan or credit is no longer a service reserved for financial institutions—now tech-savvy consumers can get it from other new entrants.
Paying for services is also being disrupted. Now we have mobile and internet alternatives that reduce our dependence on financial institutions. Meanwhile, currency itself is evolving, with the emergence of cryptocurrency.
Join the industry conversation
So how will the financial services industry evolve? Who will be the winners and losers? Will traditional financial services as we know it change forever? And who are the startups in Hong Kong who are disrupting the industry?
Find the answers at the Fintech Innovation Forum. Featuring a varied group of industry practitioners, advocators, detractors, futurists, analyst and thinkers, it will examine new trends and show how financial services is being rewired for a new future.
To thrive in the faster forward world, financial institutions need to exceed customer expectations for instant, secure and reliable online access to all content and services. Top banking, insurance, asset management, brokerage, payments and financial exchanges need to meet performance and security challenges and capture new opportunities in cloud computing and mobile delivery. As financial services institutions migrate to hybrid and private cloud infrastructures, they need cloud-based performance and security services that work across their combined data center and hosting environments.
Carrying the theme of “Competing in the Digital Age: Tips for Today’s Financial Institutions” and targeting around 60+ FSI Professionals , the luncheon will gather some industry experts who will share with us some winning approaches in a new generation of financial services by summarizing what the ingredients necessary to be a global centre of FinTech innovation and growth are; what the key technology focuses for the year of 2015 and ahead in FSI and how to improve security strategy to thwart cyber threats…etc.
The forum was successfully held. Dr. Toa Charm’s participation in the forum was highly appreciated and accepted by the audiences and organizers. Over 60 senior executives from financial services industry attended the talk. For more information about the event, please login as GCE members or join our membership.
