BankersCom 2023
Reimagining and Tectonic Shifts in Swiss Banking
Worldwide banks are currently having to navigate their way through the highly uncertain situation to reposition themselves for a better future. The ongoing war in Ukraine, volatile uncertain market developments with energy price risks, supply chain issues, the rise in inflation and the accompanying tighter monetary policy - all need to be addressed.
The Swiss financial center, in particular, has suffered an additional crisis of confidence with the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS. How has this affected the Swiss banking landscape and the global image of the Swiss financial center? What else can be expected in terms of politics, FINMA and are we facing a tectonic shift?
Switzerland is one of the leading hubs for crypto banking, digital assets, and new asset classes, driven by investors, financial institutions and the entire financial and corporate sector. Accordingly, it is also interesting for international stock exchanges such as Clearstream/ Deutsche Börse Group. And new instruments for improved liquidity are also being created with the ‘Swiss Asset Liquidity Pool’. The dynamics of the ecosystem and its coopetition in the Digital Asset Space are also extraordinary.
Banks have not effectively put the customer data they possess to work, much less the external data customers are also willing to share. With open banking redefining the entire financial landscape, failure to tap the power of data will become a competitive drag. The use of data and AI is impacting every component of the banking ecosystem. As banks and credit unions rethink how to integrate information, analyze data, and use insights to improve decision-making, they will be in a better position to reduce costs, increase revenues, enhance customer experiences, and reimagine business models. But digital transformation should not pursue speed at the expense of resilience. Banks need agile, scalable technology that operates 24/7, mitigates cyber-attacks, protects data, and bank runs.
The drive for digital is happening in banking and financial services right in front of our eyes and balancing machine and human becomes vital.
The upcoming BankersCom Conference 2023 will once again address and discuss fundamental questions at the highest level. The participants are senior executives who have been personally invited.
The conference will be bilingual German English (with simultaneous translation)
BankersCom – the platform where Senior decision-makers of the Swiss and
Central European Banking industry meet and exchange their experiences.
