NextGen Banking in the Middle East

The banking landscape in the Middle East is being realigned, driven by the digital arrowhead. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and microservices are at the forefront of innovation in the financial services sector. Customer expectations are also shifting rapidly, with an increasing demand for an enhanced and personalised experience with 24/7 access to banking services. NextGen Banking is viewed as a convergence of Fintech collaboration and innovation excellence that helps deliver new customer journeys for the digital era.

The Cedar-IBSi Summit on NextGen Banking and Technology looks to explore this convergence, with perspectives drawn from industry experts, banking leaders, and technology players on a wide range of topics, including Innovation, Digital Adoption, FinTech Collaboration, Customer Journeys, Open Banking, Payments, Metaverse, and more.

Quick Overview

More than half of the respondents of a recent IBSi poll on primary benefits of digital-enabled NextGen Banking rated ‘Enhanced Customer Experience’ as the most significant area of impact. Interestingly, more than 50% of the investments made by Middle Eastern banks in the last three years have been in Risk Management and Digital Banking initiatives, reflecting the central theme of digital enablement.
