The use of mobile banking apps has doubled in 2 years. How can banks and fintechs capitalise on this and where what are the cool new innovations we can count on seeing next?

Join this session where the panel will discuss:

-The Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) is just around the corner. How will this change the banking landscape?

-What kind of exciting solutions will appear in the next years?

-What are the most exciting apps/new functionalities that you have seen/expect to come out of PSD2?

-What are some of the most important customer benefits/use cases you see emerging – apart from a better user experience?

-How will mobile banking and personal finance apps change user behaviour? Will approaches such as gamification have a lasting effect on the spending habits/financial literacy of future generations?

-In the past 24 months a considerable number of challenger banks received a banking license from their local regulators. How will these banks change the game for their competitors

-Millennials are at the moment the main target group of challenger banks. Will those new banks be able to successfully acquire a broader customer group?

-What are the major trends that will shape the mobile banking industry in the next 3 to 5 years? API? AI?

Is it too late for incumbent banks to try and still win at the Relationship game, wow the consumer with addictive experience and become beloved brands? If we believe only new players will be able to do the above and many banks will become pipes - do they have a back-up business plan in place for that alternative?

Attend this panel debate where the speakers will discuss all this and more:

- What will banking look like in a post-PSD2 Europe and once Open banking models start to emerge? When will that be?
- Is banking culture one of the inhibitors of change and what can we do to change that?
- Define what "Invisible Banking" means to you and the consumer
- What role will Platforms play in this new world over the next few years?

Banking is changing! The emergence of digital technologies and fintech are supporting changes in the way consumers use these products/services, particularly millennials.

These new style banking services are becoming much more than simply a way to look at one's bank account, or to pay. They are becoming truly financial cockpits and watchtowers that consumers can use for a wide range of usages whenever, wherever whether it is to manage better their finance, pay and order on mobile commerce, transfer money between them, etc.

We will discuss the way they are transforming personal finance, how consumers change their usage patterns, what are the impacts, how startups innovate, how incumbents and new players are interacting, where are the truly disruptive services, etc.
