Digital Banking: Where to Next?

Registration: https://www.cognitoforms.com/SpanishChamberOfCommerceInJapan/DigitalBanking

Covid-19 has made digitalisation a must. Mobility restrictions have accelerated the use of digital platforms across industries worldwide, including banking. Cash transactions dried up and customers have quickly adopted digital channels. As an example, Spanish banks have reported a rise of up to 200% in the use of their mobile apps and websites during the quarantine period. What changes will financial service provider need to make to maintain this momentum?

On the other hand, despite its high-tech image, Japan is one of the most cash-based economies in the advanced world, with a cashless ratio below 20%, versus 96% in South Korea and 66% in China. What are the challenges that Japanese banks face in becoming more digital, and how can they be overcome?

On September 30 (Wednesday) at 18:00JST, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Japan (SpCCJ) organises an online seminar together with our Corporate Member Mormedi, inviting Japanese retail bank Sony Bank and Spanish online payment provider Bizum, to discover the current movements of digital transformation in the financial industry.

The sesion will be moderated by José Esteves, Associate Dean for MBA & TECHMBA, at SpCCJ’s Corporate Member IE Business School.
