2021 was a special year in the regional banking and technology markets. Digitisation across the range of products and services was no longer an option to be adopted at a sedate pace but became the fully expected industry norm. The region’s banks and financial institutions vied for leadership in banking innovation, financial technology vendors competed vigorously to offer the latest opportunities for banks to take that lead and newer types of financial methods offered by neobanks or tokenisation service providers became part of the regional industry landscape.
In this new regional banking and finance normal, distinguishing your business in innovation and technological development is not only more competitive but also less noticeable. How will financial services providers and banking technology vendors continue to expand their markets and keep innovating as 2022 progresses? What will be the new catalysts for technology and service development in the region’s banking sector and how will the industry change in the coming year?
MEA Finance Banking Technology Summit & Awards 2022 will gather regional leaders in banking and Big Technology in a series of panel debates. The Summit discussions will cover the extent and magnitude of the banking challenges ahead needed to drive the shift toward establishing future-focused banks.
Following on from the summit comes our 2022 Annual Banking Technology Awards, recognising the commendable achievements of banks and technology businesses for their delivery of smarter banking solutions and for their ability to drive real growth in an increasingly competitive regional market.
