Panel View From The Top - Resetting the Model: Can Banks Emerge Stronger Post-Covid19?
For banks the long-term internal and external implications of the pandemic will take time, possibly years, to determine. As the uncertainty continues to evolve and certain to stretch well into 2021, there is the temptation to focus only on the challenges banks face almost at the exclusion of possible long-term opportunities. Will banks be able to use the pandemic to re-build much needed trust in how they support their customers through a downturn? Are we seeing the benefits of a universal banking model with a more diversified set of businesses playing out? Will they be able to use the crisis to deliver much needed radical changes, at a greater pace, to their business and operating models? Is the necessity brought about by the crisis likely to bring about much needed innovation in the sector that ultimately enables some institutions to emerge stronger?

Panelists:

• David Gillespie, Head UK & Ireland, Oliver Wyman
• Dr Bettina Orlopp, CFO, Commerzbank
• Mark Mason, CFO, Citi
• Jonathan Pruzon, CFO, Morgan Stanley


Big Banks, Bigger Techs?
In a world where data, digital, and customer-centric capabilities are key to winning, BigTech companies and digital innovation from Incumbent financial services firms are beginning to permanently transform the economics and power relationships in financial services. At the same time, they are creating new types of risks, diffusing accountability, and shifting risks outside the existing regulatory perimeter. This webinar will look at what steps regulators should take to mitigate these risks and protect consumers, and how banks should react to create resilience, innovation, and efficiency.

Speakers:
• Lisa Quest, Partner and Head of Public Sector UK & Ireland, Oliver Wyman
• Bob Wigley, Chairman, UK Finance
• Edward Bowles, Director of Public Policy for Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, Facebook
