What can traditional banks learn from Neobanks?
Johannesburg 25 May 2021 | 11: 30-13:00 (GMT+2)
Over the last decade we have seen an explosion in the number of companies attempting to challenge traditional financial services players, however are they a genuine threat to the incumbents, and if so why?
More importantly what can today’s industry players do, to ensure they maintain their market dominance?
In this webinar our host, Colin Iles, will be asking the incredibly well respected veteran banker, turned Neobank entrepreneur Craig Bond to share his views and experiences.
This should be a particularly thought provoking session, as Craig’s experience on both sides of the aisle, place him amongst a handful of financiers that truly understand both the threats incumbents now face and the complexities that they need to overcome to thrive.
If you are in a decision making role, in a financial services institution in Africa, this is a must-watch event.
Please do join us, and remember there will be plenty of opportunities for you to pose your questions to Craig.
