Tradition Meets Digital Innovation: Banks in Transition

"The banks' private customer business is interchangeable. Tradition offers a leap of faith, but hinders innovation. Banks must act to remain relevant."

Jes Hennig Founder of Participayed

Traditional banks must learn to combine their decades of experience and customer loyalty with the new agile and technologically advanced approaches of FinTechs. This is not just about introducing new technologies, but also about a cultural change that enables them to react flexibly to the constantly changing needs of customers.

How can the symbiosis of tradition and disruption succeed?

We want to discuss this in our dialogue with moderator Chérine de Bruijn. Our panellists will provide exciting perspectives.
