This one-day conference examined how banks are adapting to the evolving regulatory environment, rapid technological change, and digital disruption from financial technology (“FinTech”) start-ups. The speakers included leading professionals from Canada, the United States and Europe who provided their perspectives on where the financial services industry is heading in the coming decade. Participants heard the views of senior bank executives, risk managers, regulators, Board members, shareholders and FinTech disruptors. The audience included banking and financial services practitioners, policymakers, regulators, academics, and the public.
Topics included:
- How are bank business models adapting to reflect the three forces of technology, regulation and demographics?
- What political and regulatory changes are expected under the Trump administration?
- What funding and capital challenges do banks face in light of historically low interest, higher capital and liquidity requirements, volatile global markets, and increased competition for deposits?
- Where are the best opportunities for Canadian banks wishing to expand abroad? Will U.S. expansions in retail banking, commercial lending, investment banking, and wealth management pay off?
- Will banks continue to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders? What is the outlook for profitability and earnings growth in a low-growth world?
- Where are the best opportunities for women to break the glass ceiling in financial services? How are they doing in bank senior management and Boards of Directors?
- How will technological changes such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data change the banking industry?
- What is the best strategy for dealing with FinTech start-ups? Is it better to collaborate or to compete?
- How are the risks facing banks changing and what new challenges will risk managers need to overcome?
- How is the role of the Board of Directors adapting to these changes? What competencies are required and how pro-active will boards become in the coming years?
This event was jointly sponsored by the Global Risk Institute for Financial Services and the Scotiabank Digital Banking Lab at the Ivey Business School.
