Digital Disruption in Financial Services
On November 30, 2016, SWIFT Institute partnered with the Scotiabank Digital Banking Lab at Ivey Business School, Western University to host a one-day event focusing on Digital Disruption in Financial Services.
With advances in digital technology happening at an exponential rate, the financial services industry is casting a critical and opportunistic eye over today’s business model. New technology is not just about disruption. It is also providing the financial industry with great opportunity. Increasingly, fintech startups are working with, not against, banks. It is a union of agility and scale.
This event brought together experts from banks, academia, and the FinTech world to explore both the threats and opportunities the digitization of banking offers. Topics included:
- Fintech as a disruptor and enabler;
- A look at how banks are working in collaboration with fintech startups; and,
- A future vision of what banking might look like in 20 years (and how we get there).
The conference served as the first in a series of events leading up to Sibos Toronto 2017. Highlights from the day can be seen in the video below.
