Exciting insights at the Financial Times FT Live hashtag#GlobalBankingSummit !

It was a privilege to join the panel discussion on the pivotal role of cloud technology in shaping the future of banking. Alongside visionary leaders Paul Taylor from Thought Machine and Paola Papanicolaou from Intesa Sanpaolo, we delved into how Tier 1 banks can leverage next-gen technology to drive innovation and customer-centric banking experiences.

Our emphasis on the transformative power of cloud infrastructure -highlighting scalability, resilience, and automation – resonated deeply with the evolving landscape of banking. Deutsche Bank and Intesa Sanpaolo ’s Google Cloud Platform (GCP) collaboration stands as a compelling testament to the potential of this synergy.

In the engaging discussion moderated by Joy Macknight, editor at The Banker, we explored strategies to craft competitive, digital-first banking approaches, elevating customer satisfaction and driving the industry forward.

Moreover, it was a big pleasure to speak at the same event with esteemed leaders such as Christian Sewing, CEO of Deutsche Bank, and Fabrizio Campelli, Member of Management Board and Head of Corporate Bank and Investment Bank at Deutsche Bank, further enriching the discourse with their invaluable insights.

Just attended an incredible session at the Financial Times TNW event, and I wanted to share some key hashtag#insights with you all. The hashtag#panel discussion, together with Michael Schlein from Accion and Cristina Criddle from Financial Times, shed light on the pressing need to bridge the gap and promote hashtag#financialinclusion on a hashtag#global scale. Here’s a recap of the session:

1. Urgency of Financial Inclusion: Around 2 billion people lack access to hashtag#financialservices. Companies are implementing various practical strategies to address the gaps in hashtag#financialinclusion. hashtag#mobilebanking and hashtag#digitalwallets played a crucial role in expanding access to financial services in regions with limited physical infrastructure. hashtag#fintech companies have developed hashtag#innovative solutions like hashtag#microfinance platforms and hashtag#p2plending to extend hashtag#credit to hashtag#underserved populations. Collaborations between traditional financial institutions and technology companies have also facilitated access to hashtag#banking services.

2. Economic Benefits: The motivation behind promoting hashtag#financialinclusion lies in the potential benefits to the overall hashtag#economy. When more individuals and businesses have access to financial services, it leads to increased hashtag#savings, hashtag#investment, and hashtag#entrepreneurship. This, in turn, drives hashtag#economicgrowth , creates hashtag#employment opportunities, and contributes to poverty reduction. Moreover, expanding financial inclusion can enhance hashtag#financialstability by reducing reliance on informal and unregulated financial channels.

3. Technology’s Role: While technology can significantly enhance hashtag#financialinclusion, it also brings potential hashtag#challenges. One major concern is the presence of bias in hashtag#algorithms and hashtag#data used in hashtag#decisionmaking processes. To avoid perpetuating social and economic inequalities, it is crucial to ensure hashtag#transparency, hashtag#fairness, and hashtag#accountability in the design and deployment of technology-based financial inclusion initiatives.

4. Regulatory Efforts: hashtag#Regulatory hashtag#frameworks play a pivotal role in supporting and shaping hashtag#financialinclusion initiatives. Governments can establish clear regulations that encourage innovation while safeguarding consumer protection and hashtag#dataprivacy. This can involve setting up regulatory sandboxes for testing new technologies, fostering hashtag#partnerships between hashtag#financialinstitutions, hashtag#fintech companies, industry stakeholders, and civil society organisations and implementing measures to address hashtag#bias and ensure equal access to financial services.

5. Financial Health and Sustainability: During the pursuit of financial inclusion, it is essential to consider hashtag#financialhealth and hashtag#sustainability. Balancing the hashtag#accessibility of financial services with responsible and hashtag#sustainable practices ensures long-term positive outcomes.

I will be there – speaking! At the Financial Times TNW Conference – Europe’s leading tech festival. Attended by 10,000 people representing more than 6,000 companies from 120 countries!

I am very glad that so many people will be present, because on Day 2, Friday 16th June, between 10:50 and 11:35, I will be speaking about a subject that is particularly close to my heart: “Building an hashtag#inclusive financial system”.

Providing equal access to economic activities, with a safe way of making payments, storing and saving money, and accessing loans is not only beneficial for the individual, but for the wider economy as a whole. Therefore, my fellow panel participants, Cristina Criddle – Technology Reporter of Financial Times, Courtney K. Robinson, Esq. – Global Head of Financial Inclusion and Policy Development at Block and Michael Schlein – President and CEO of Accion will address the following questions:

– Could financial institutions be doing more to build an hashtag#inclusive financial system?
– Where are the biggest gaps in the hashtag#financialsector?
– Where are the hashtag#challenges?
– How does hashtag#financialaccess and hashtag#inclusion benefit the economy as a whole?

Keen to know more? Come and hear us talk about this and other burning topics in the hashtag#financialindustry. I am happy to network before and after. I look forward to engaging with the future!
