Digital Banking and Payments Summit 2022 | Dubai

The model of Banking in the GCC is changing

Digitisation in banks has become more of a necessity rather than a preference. Banks must embrace digitisation and update their technology infrastructure to remain competitive in today’s environment. The reasons are multi-fold; improve banking efficiency, attract and retain new customers, improve analytics, launch innovative services, and enhance product customisation, amongst others. New technologies such as advanced analytics, cloud computing, microservices, and open APIs are lowering the barriers to entry in the Transaction Banking space. To keep up with the rapid changes, banks must build systems that are agile, scalable, and able to meet changing customer demands.

The Cedar-IBSi Summit looks to explore the above, with perspectives drawn from industry experts across global banks and technology players on a wide range of topics, including NextGen Banking, Transaction Banking, B2B Payments, Customer Experience, Cloud, and more.
