What Future Lies Ahead for Asia Banks?
Learnt from the 1997 Asia financial crisis, banks in Asia emerged much stronger and have
enjoyed years of growth. Moving forward, how do Asia banks continue to ride this wave of
success? What are the challenges and technology trends that we need to know in order to
protect and continue to spur growth? How do banks innovate and leverage on innovative
platforms to reinvent payments and transactions around the consumer experience and
expectations?
ACU gives you the right platform to gain insight into innovative products, payments
landscapes and key trends to keep pace with.
Technology Drives Performance and Growth?
Technology is changing the gameplay of businesses and end users are seeking reliable
and seamless end-to-end services, from issuance to services on the go. The emergence of
new technologies offer banks a plethora of ways to communicate with their customers online, mobile or via most prevalent customer touch-points. This has drastically increased
the scope of coverage when banks plan for their customer-centric offerings. It is of
paramount importance for banks to keep abreast of and harness these new technologies
to carve a niche for themselves and differentiate themselves from the pack and to
improve on their bottom-line.
Security Challenges in Financial Business
These new ways of interaction with the consumers has also brought about new challenges
related to information security. Let our expert speakers share important in-sights into
topics related to security challenges faced by financial businesses and the effective
methods to protect against fraudulent online transactions.
Join us at the conference where our expert speakers perform deepdive on the topics and help to identify the key priorities for 2014 and
