Live video panel: Commercial lending insanity and why it has to change

Death to Spreadsheets!

Despite the growing popularity of data visualization tools across all industries, the finance sector still relies heavily on seeing data presented in tabular form. Analysts in financial institutions often spend a large part of their day pouring over spreadsheets, extracting numbers, pivoting tables, running macros and making adjustments before creating static reports to print for management meetings.
But what happens if you have another question?


We argue that there is a better way to approach financial data and to unlock more of the collective brain power of your analysts. We will show you a number of options for visualizing financial results, highlighting trends and developing KPI dashboards that provide real insights quickly. Because there are more valuable things your staff could be doing than wrangling with spreadsheets

There is no shortage of articles and industry events that predict the end of banking as we know it. While overheated predictions are great for increasing trade show attendance and social media engagement, this webinar will focus on the real world.

Banks and Credit Unions are moving into uncharted waters where the partnerships are different, the customers are different, and the competitors are different. This webinar will pull no punches in pushing financial institutions to improve execution in the tasks immediately in front of them, but will also help inspire the innovation necessary to be a winner in the digital future.

In this webinar, Michael Diamond, General Manager of Payments for Mitek Systems and a veteran of other moments of disruption within financial services – to include IVR, online banking, online bill payment, mobile banking, mobile payments, and mobile check deposit – will provide both ideas and specific actions, such as:

-Understanding: While the coming years will see unprecedented change in how customers interact with their financial institution, this isn’t the first time the industry has faced technology change. What can be learned from past introductions of new technologies?

-Preparing: What are the major trends financial institutions should be planning for now?

-Growing: How can financial institutions pivot to attract new customers?

-Opening: Financial institutions in the physical era were closed and focused on products; how can successful financial institutions in the digital era be open and focused on services (APIs)?

-Measuring: What are some metrics that indicate if a financial institution is on course for a successful digital future, and how can financial institution leaders motivate their teams for change?

Hype is for conference organizers. This webinar is about reality. We will focus on the world financial institutions live in today, and the world that is to come.

It’s an exciting time to be in financial services.

This has been claimed to provide workers with autonomy, provide opportunities for creative output and greater ownership. But what are the realities of building a portfolio career? How does that work for women building a career in FinTech?

Our panellists all work in FinTech currently but have different career paths and experiences along the way. Join us to hear their perspective and experiences in this webinar discussion.

Does KYC & AML Compliance Come At The Cost of a Great Customer Onboarding Experience?

In this webinar, you will learn:
- How you can meet compliance requirements without disrupting the customer onboarding experience
- How companies can accelerate their KYC & AML process from weeks to minutes
- How organizations can use technology to effortlessly verify the identity of both customers as individuals and customers as businesses
- How organizations can access identity data from hundreds of data vendors under one contract
- How to verify customer identity in emerging markets, where customers have traditionally been wary of identity verification procedures.

As new and disruptive technologies transform existing ways of doing business, they are fundamentally changing the ways in which money moves around the world. Even as technology has made it exponentially easier to exchange value for money, it’s network effects have opened the door to a new set of threats and challenges posed by bad actors.

As lawmakers take cognizance of these changes, the regulatory environment is placing more demands on regulated entities such as payment platforms, online marketplaces, fintech providers, traditional financial institutions, cryptocurrencies etc. Indeed, regulation is tightening the noose around the compliance function, and never has it been more important to ensure that your organization is complying with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws.

But this has very important implications for the vendor-customer relationship. How does compliance perform customer due diligence (CDD) to its satisfaction without placing too many demands on the customer? How does it verify the identity of its customers without making them uncomfortable? How does it fulfill its own requirements without disrupting and delaying application processing times, and forcing customers to churn early?

Join Ryan Creamore, Director of Sales, Trulioo, for a lively discussion.
