Welcome address
The transformative power of open banking
Chair’s opening remarks

Programme Director and Head, CMA Open Banking, HSBC
Keynote address
The future of banking
The bank went through quite a journey since its launch of ING Direct, the first digital bank in the world, 20 years ago to the digital transformation to a banking platform it’s going through now. How does a big organisation successfully creates a start-up culture and how do you implement a truly customer-centric mentality? What are the key elements an organisation has to deal with to make sure tens of thousands of employees transform as well? And how to deal with the competition of bigtech and smaller fintech companies?
