In today’s Virtual Arena, we take a deep dive into a key question – how can banks return back to the centre of the consumer’s financial universe?

To help tackle this topic, we have 3 brilliant guests; Alex Gatiragas, Global Head of Digital Solution Experience at G+D, Kurt Schmid, Marketing & Innovation Director Secure Digital Payments at Netcetera, and Alex Bowen, Chief Operating Officer at HSBC’s e-wallet fintech startup, PayMe. We analyse the opportunities that the digital wallet creates, whether CBDCs will become a reality, and the new dynamic between banks and fintechs in the ecosystem today. Ultimately, let’s uncover how banks can leverage their trust to succeed in this new paradigm!
