Future of Money 2021: Banking business for the future

The banking sector faces a moment of reckoning. Bitcoin is legal tender in El Salvador and accepted at outlets from Home Depot to Starbucks. Traditional banks face growing competition from specialists, digital challengers, and non-bank brands. Branches are a thing of the past. 

For banking management, this is much more than just a shift in market dynamics. The digitization forces currently at work threaten the very foundations of our finance and economy, creating the need for new modes of banking innovation, monetary policy, and financial inclusion. 

This changing fintech innovation landscape brings new challenges but also offers vast opportunities for corporations and leaders that can stay ahead of developments and adapt to the emerging future of banking. 

And you can find out how to be one of those leaders at Reuters Events’ Future of Money 2021 webinar series and virtual conference, on December 8 and 9.
