BankersCom 2024

Leaders’ Insights - Reinvent and
Future-proof of Swiss Banking

Switzerland is one of the leading hubs for crypto banking, digital assets, and new asset classes, driven by investors, financial institutions and the entire financial and corporate sector. In the Senior Dialogue ‘Crypto and Beyond’ of the evening before BankersCom 2024, the current challenges also relevant for Swiss banking will be discussed.

On the conference day, the future of banks and their business models and strategies from the retail, neo banking, private banking and wealth management perspectives will be discussed.

Adapting to changing risks. Financial institutions everywhere will need to stay on top of the ever evolving risk environment. In the macroeconomic context, this includes inflation, unclear growth prospects and credit challenges. Other risks are associated with changing regulatory requirements, cyber and fraud risks and the integration of advanced analytics and AI into the banking system..
Exploit technology and AI to improve productivity, talent management, and the delivery of products and services. This includes applying AI and advanced analytics to deploy process automation, platforms, and ecosystems. Distinctive technology development and deployment will increasingly become a critical differentiator for banks but also crucial for the resilience of financial centers and their application by regulators.
Scale or exit transaction business. Scale in a market or product is a key to success, but it can be multifaceted. Institutions can find a niche in which to go deep, or they can look to cover an entire market.
Level up distribution to sell to customers and advise them directly and indirectly, including through embedded finance and marketplaces and by offering digital and AI-based advisory. Balancing machine and human become vital.

The upcoming BankersCom Senior Executive Conference 2024 will once again address and discuss fundamental questions at the highest level. The participants are senior executives who have been personally invited. The conference will be bilingual German & English (with simultaneous translation).

BankersCom – the platform where Senior decision makers of the Swiss and Central European Banking industry meet and exchange their experiences.
