«Financial AI is here»
At a time when the financial sector is still in a state of constant flux, the 11th Digital Banking Forum was here to provide answers to the issues of concern to businesses in the wider sector in terms of how to utilize digital technologies and offer digital services.
Phygital is developing into a key pillar of financial institutions‘ operations, while the payments sector is one of those attracting interest from all other sectors of the economy.
The 11th Digital Banking Forum #dbfo24 was held on 28 May 2024 hosted by ethosEVENTS in cooperation with banks.com.gr, the financial and business portal, and HRIMA, the financial and investment journal. It was possible to attend the forum in person at the Divani Caravel but also online via the LiveOn Expo Complex, LiveOn’s innovative 3D expo and conference center.
The Forum Coordinator was Mr. Dimitris Mallas, journalist.
The Forum included individual talks, fireside chats and panels covering the following key topics:
Section I: Changes in financial institution models
In this section we discussed changes to the operating models of banks and financial institutions in general. Banks are in the process of changing their operating models with the turn to phygital becoming more intense than ever. At the same time, they are changing their customer journeys to utilize digital channels, and are gradually rushing to utilize cutting-edge technological tools such as AI. They are also in the process of changing their core banking systems and making greater use of the cloud.
Section II: AI, cloud, cybersecurity and technology solutions to meet new needs
AI usage in all sectors of the economy is a hot topic for discussion at global level. The first applications are already emerging in Greece, but AI is not the only technological solution required for companies in the wider financial sector to address the needs created by new operating models and new customer journeys. Technologies such as cloud and big data are of particular importance and it should be noted that the issue of cybersecurity is high on the list of priorities.
Section III: New digital approaches needed for the “next day” in the insurance sector
In the insurance sector, digital technologies have changed the way companies operate. However, discussions are now kicking off about the next steps that need to be taken and the applications that will further simplify procedures and generate new business opportunities.
Section IV: A new age for digital payments
The sector facing the most changes and developments is none other than payments. On the one hand, regulatory changes (such as the extension of the obligation to use POS and the interconnection of terminals with cash registers) as well as new trends in the technology sector with the increasing use of smartphones, are forging a new landscape with companies in the sector being called upon to respond to this new set of circumstances.
Audience:
- Top-ranking executives who work in the banking sector and understand digital transformation, and are seeking to expand their know-how.
- Executives from the insurance sector who are monitoring developments around new emerging business models and how they can be utilized.
- Executives from digital technology companies seeking to network with executives from the financial sector interested in capitalizing on the tools offered by digital technologies.
- Young entrepreneurs from the rapidly developing fintech sector.
- Executives from businesses in all sectors who want to learn about new trends in the financial sector and about new digital products and services that will improve their operations.
