Reimagining Banking for Tomorrow

At a time when how we pay for things and how we manage our money has increasingly become embedded into our everyday interactions, from using our devices for contactless payments to getting financial advice online, financial institutions are integrated into everything and yet in some ways less visible than they’ve ever been. To talk about what this means for institutions and consumers alike, we’re joined by Dan Roberts, Global Head of Business Banking for HSBC. In his role, Dan travels a lot to get perspective on financial trends around the world. Here he shares what it means to go beyond banking to meet the needs of an increasingly digital world powered by data, AI and tech-enabled information sharing.
