A platform to success: The open digital bank of the future
What does the future of banking look like, and does that future have a place for ‘traditional’ incumbents? ING has always been a step ahead when it comes to digital banking, but how does it remain relevant when fleet-footed fintechs and  Big Tech titans are setting the standard for what customers expect from financial services? In this keynote address, ING CEO Ralph Hamers shares his vision of the future, and explains the bold steps ING is taking to make that vision a reality. Those include a company-wide innovation approach and a way of working more in common with successful startups than banking behemoths. Ralph’s story goes from purpose to platforms, and from banking to beyond banking, taking in distributed ledger technology, fintech collaboration, Open Banking and even love – with a couple of exciting announcements thrown in for good measure.

It’s about the customer, stupid
The proliferation of digital technologies is transforming customer expectations.  In the rush to get ahead, it is sometimes easy to lose focus on the core reason for developing a service: addressing the needs of customers.  In this session, Andy Maguire, Group COO HSBC, talks about how HSBC has structured its technology agenda around putting customers first, covering what it has learnt along the way in mobilising a digital organisation and how understanding expectations around robotics and platforms, to name just two examples, will be key to realising customer benefits.  Andy will also cover the bank’s work with fintech partners, including its Technology Advisory Board, as well as its own initiatives around the innovation agenda, and offer advice to those fintechs wanting to partner with banks on customer propositions.

How data will change the world, again!
The shift to digital has fundamentally changed the way businesses operate and people live their lives, for good. The opportunities are immense, and yet so are the challenges this new data-driven universe creates. The backlash we see now against big tech is just one example of the complexity a digital world creates. So how do we manage, contain, strengthen and positively create data-driven organizations in the future?

First you get the platform, then you get the data, then you get the money
Business drives technology, right?  Well, seemingly not any longer. Several proven mega examples around the world are proving the exact opposite! Establishment of a technical foundation and marketplace platform which then gains true mass user acceptance and in turn creates an abundance of consumer data is proven and viable. With extensive use of AI / machine learning the data can be mined to identify completely new business offerings from deep data patterns; dynamically refined and retested. New business that is not just ‘evolutionary' but creating completely new business offerings and models. These data-loaded platforms exist and are rapidly empowering both business growth and new models, with trade barriers dropping further as markets expansion becomes easier. Combine the explosion of new world enablers including convergence of crypto and blockchain into the regulated mainstream, plus rapid marketplace platform partnering techniques, then you have a compelling formula to reach the tipping point and takeover of traditional markets owners, globally. The results are real, the end vision is clear, and the roadmap is rapidly being successfully executed.

The Lion’s Den Stage

11:55am BST

From strategy to technology, do you need a complete overhaul?
By 2025 substantial shifts in risk management will be expected. The structural trends that are driving many of these substantial shifts stem from multiple sources. Regulation will continue to broaden and deepen as public sentiment becomes less and less tolerant of any appearance of preventable errors and inappropriate business practices. Simultaneously, customers’ expectations of banking services will rise and change as technology and new business models emerge and evolve. Risk functions will also have to cope with the evolution of newer types of risk (e.g., model, contagion, and cyber)—all of which require new skills and tools. Fortunately, evolving technology and advanced analytics are enabling new products, services, and risk-management techniques, while de-biasing approaches that improve decision making will help risk managers make better choices about risks. However, the risk function of the future will probably be expected to deliver against all these requirements and deal with these trends at a lower cost, because banks will in all likelihood have to reduce their operating costs substantially. Join this session to understand how to place risk management at the centre of your business though adopting an ‘assume you have been compromised’ mentality toward future threats.

Biometrics 2.0

Businesses, keen to drive digital transformation, have long walked the tightrope between incorporating new features and introducing new risks. Biometrics has helped mitigate this trade-off and empowers businesses to future-proof their systems against ever-evolving cyberattacks, streamline existing processes, and improve the customer experience.

 

Despite this progress, there are regular news stories of biometrics being subverted—fingerprints reproduced using HD images, and hackers and researchers hard at work attempting to fool facial recognition systems, iris scanners, and every other biometric technique.

 

New biometric techniques are being pioneered—vein recognition, facial expressions, ear shape and even chip implantation—but what of convenience? Do people see chip implantation as no big deal, or a sci-fi transhumanist nightmare? Finger vein recognition may be more secure, but is it sustainable for businesses to require more hardware to take payments?

 

What will drive the type and uptake of biometrics in the future? Will convenience or privacy limit what people are prepared to use? Or will security prevail, demanding ever-more sophisticated technologies in the arms race against hackers?

Cyber security in the trenches and across borders
We all know that the financial industry remains a top target for criminals, this has not changed. Only one thing has changed; bank robbers have turned their masks and weapons in for coding skills. Cyber-attacks are growing in number, size and sophistication. Among the dangerous weapons of choice are DDos attacks, Malware, Spyware, Phishing, just to name a few. But that’s not the only danger to be found. Also, the increased interconnectedness in the industry has generated multiple points of entry (cloud, mobile, IoT and artificial intelligence) which could turn out to be potential Achilles’ heels. With enough ammunition at their disposal, hackers have also more reasons to breach the walls of the financial system. Not only for money or personal data, but geopolitical factors are at the root of attack vectors. What does best practice and innovation look like in intelligence sharing? How can multiple stakeholders work together and embrace the tools, technologies and methodologies to stay ahead of the bad guys?

How to deal with trust and customer consent in a cynical and scrutinised world
In recent months much as been said, taught and debated about GDPR: when is it applicable and to whom? How to build a ‘fine immune’ process? How to implement the law top to bottom in the organisation? However, the broader societal debate is quickly overtaking this narrow line of thinking. BADD (Big, Addictive, Anti-Competitive and Damaging to Democracy) behaviour puts every company under scrutiny and not only in the sharp visor of the regulator but of its entire – and active – user community, represented by politicians and activists. In this session we will focus on creating a much wider and strategic approach to GDPR, which is merely the beginning of many laws to come towards and approach that is consent centric and built on gaining and sharing trust with your audience. From compliance to societal acceptance. From vision to implementation – mind openers and takeaways.

Introducing the Premier ID concept: outperforming 1 error in 1 billion
By 2021, the total cost of cybercrimes is estimated to represent more than $ 6 trillion. It is now an evidence that passwords and pin codes no longer fit cyber-security requirements. A strong biometric authentication (even a highly secured one like 3D face) cannot be a sole mean to address 100% of individuals in a highly secured way. Some challenges will always persist, such as identical twins, people with no fingerprints and more. Today when biometric fails, systems are asking to enter a pin code which brings back to security holes! At Money20/20 Europe 2018, OneVisage will be unveiling “Premier ID” a new authentication concept that will allow to outperform 1 error in 1 billion for 100% of users, on any mobile device, for any mid-to-high value transactions.

What exactly do these services look like for the banking customer of the future, the banking employee of the future and the bank of the future? Is the Chinese path (WeChat, AliPay) the path European and US financial services will follow thereby disintermediating banks? Or will western banks invent the bank of the future on their own terms?

Data and analytics offer tremendous potential for banks to create value – both to reinvent and enrich the customer experience but also to transform internal processes. Yet, few banks are so far winning with data and struggle to materialize the benefits due to several hurdles – notably a gap in customer trust to really open up the data vault, internal complexity at banks and new regulatory constraints. In this session, industry leaders will show-case how they are winning with data.

What is our ethical responsibility when it comes to digital privacy? Failure to innovate responsibly creates peril not only for shareholders and management, but also for society. Responsible technologists and responsible business leaders must practice responsible innovation. In order to accomplish this, it is essential that they are sensitized to the broader impacts of their decisions to consider how new technologies are deployed. The same types of predictive analytics that were deployed on Facebook to sway election sentiment have also been used to help distribute medical aid – and provide for financial inclusion.

Better payment flows on platforms: Booking.com and Stripe
Reducing friction for users is key to running a successful online business. This is particularly true for payments, which is too often still a long and cumbersome process for consumers.

Booking.com cooperated with Stripe to solve these challenges.

RegTech is the new darling of FinTech. Established players and startups are entering into financial services regulatory affairs, reporting, compliance and control. RegTechs and wider FS ecosystem see an opportunity to use untapped sources of data to address the misdemeanours of the past. The hypothesis is that RegTechs can provide insight into regulatory requirements, transparency in compliance, greater control and agility to respond to changing regulatory and market environment. The emerging ecosystem of RegTech service, data and technology providers is fragmented, how do they with Regulators, Central Banks and wider FS Market work together to realise the potential benefits glimpsed though the RegTechs?

Come ask the experts - Square’s Risk and Security Lead, Sam Quigley, and UL’s Andrew Jamieson - why you should support PIN on glass, the benefits of software PIN entry, best practices for building your own PIN on glass solutions, and how its application could be much broader than payments.

Despite being a global phenomenon, Open Banking is at different stages of the 'disruption cycle' in different markets. This session will share best practise findings from across markets and explore the initiatives set in motion to converge on a global standard. The fundamental building blocks of Open Banking all connect to the liability model, so how do we reduce risk, cost and complexity during implementation? Would a failure to impose standards lead to a frustration of the market facing objectives of PSD2? Does the market want to risk PSD3 imposing technology standards?

The Curious Case: Should banks accept their fate as dumb pipes?
Our brand new Spiegeltent is your chance to get up close and personal with your FinTech idols in an interactive setting. But you’d better be quick to grab your seat – this stage has been designed for two-way conversation, so only a lucky few will have the opportunity to be part of the intimate crowd for each session. Once it’s full it’s full!

Are banks doomed to become the back end of financial services? Despite the profusion of upstarts acquiring banking licences, do the FinTechs and Tech Titans really want to become banks? Most challenger banks will fail - the only ones that will succeed are those that are fully licensed themselves and have built their own tech stack from scratch as this means they can compete on cost and there aren't middlemen taking margin

Innovations in lending and credit: Business model transformation, threats and opportunities
The once-opaque world of lending is experiencing a transformation, with new participants, new risk models, new propositions and new expectations ensuring that tomorrows market will be more competitive and more dynamic than ever before. New participants: Lending has been a central focus for Fintech investment over the last decade. As one of the few sustained profit centres for banks, it’s an obvious target for challengers. New perceptions: For years banks have honed and optimised their internal risk scorecards – a sophisticated world in which they have pursued outperformance by better understanding pricing and performance trade-offs. But for years traditional players have relied on legacy data sets and toolkits. In a world of democratised data – both in banking and beyond – the rules of risk prediction are being re-written. New propositions: Bank lending services for consumers and businesses have changed little in the last forty years – reflecting the organisational structure & product set of lenders rather than the complex, flexible needs of borrowers. More intelligent, relevant hybrid services are now arriving – and solving problems in a way that static legacy products can’t. New expectations: Lenders were once powerful dictators, to whom you ‘applied’ to be a customer. Modern customers, both businesses and individuals are challenging the power dynamic and demanding digital provisioning, real-time decisioning and that banks base their judgements on intelligent, rich data not supposition & black box metrics.

Many banks are trying to innovate on top of their old legacy systems – for example by creating new, shiny interfaces without facing and fixing the underlying problems. This certainly is not the only way for incumbents to innovate, which instead can leave the old systems as they are and directly jump to building own digital challenger banks outside of their old organisation. The panellists all have built new digital banks for incumbents and will share and discuss their experiences.

Turning bank IT into a business model – a cultural transformation
There is an irreversible change happening in corporate banks. It produces new kinds of services for the customers and enables new ways of collaboration with fintechs, startups and any other players in the digital industry. Above all, it requires banks to open up. If you reduce this change solely to PSD2, you are going to miss its true potential. This change should not be driven by regulation but by opportunity. At Deutsche Bank, they took the chance. Initiated by the bank’s technology department, a small team started a cultural change when they began thinking IT from a customer perspective. That was the first step towards open banking and towards turning bank IT into a business model. In this session, the Deutsche Bank API team wants to share its learnings, its vision and its point of view on open banking.

Cryptocurrencies have now been joined by Crytotokens, which have proven popular for funding new venture through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) There are over 1500 Cryptocurrencies currently in issue, with Bitcoin, Ether and Ripple comprising the top 3. Bitcoin gained another sustained period of global prominence and in 2017 with is price rising from 2,000 USD per BTC in June to 19,000 USD per BTC by Dec, an 850% increase driven by speculation. In the autumn of 2017, CME and CBO both launched Bitcoin managed futures. Cryptocurrencies are algorithmically generated through a Hash algorithm, and reside on decentralized networks on the blockchain or distributed ledger technologies. This is where many of the differences between cryptocurrencies begin: some are on public networks, some private, some have limited total supply, some no maximum supply limit, some are free floating, some are pegged to fiat currencies or commodities. What role do Cryptocurrencies play in society and what is their future? Is there a job for Cryptocurrencies in Central Banks, and if so what job is that? What is the future of Cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, and cash?Central banks are not having an easy time with the crypto question, and nor should they; it’s one of the most complex issues we face as a global economy. So what’s the right approach? Should they start buying speculatively to protect against deflation? Do they regulate it as fiat, or is launching a national coin the right approach?

Money is not a dirty word
Innovation in banking is rich in the language of ecosystems, partnerships and collaboration. It creates an illusion of inclusion, at the business end of the spectrum, and an openness to RnD and exploration without a razor sharp focus on PnL.

Business model innovation departments and a variety of activity, from investment to JVs, in propositions that make money differently to the core also creates the illusion of openness and fluidity. But the whole point of innovating was to stay in the game, to make money, to keep ahead. So all this openness is either not fully real or fully misguided.

It is time we discussed monetisation models and the challenges some partnerships present to making money. It is time we talked profitability structures and playing the same game by the same rules. And it’s time we all said what we really think about when and how you should talk money when speaking to a startup, a customer or a banker.

It’s what we are here for and it’s not a dirty word.

Make technology great again. AGAIN
In this high adrenaline performance, you’ll confront the persona of a malicious hacker and the disconnect between pursuing the prize of data and the individuals and businesses that are put at risk in the process. From billions lost in ICOs to political mania caused by the misuse of data, hacking is in the news everyday. Ralph Echemendia will explore the threats and challenges of data ownership and address the implications of recent scandals. When the valuation of tech giants relies on the data they collect and store, what happens if this data is stolen before they find a way to monetise? As the balance of power of data ownership changes, will the tech giant’s control of data diminish before they find the business models to justify their valuations? Be prepared to be amazed as Ralph Echemendia and Criminology academic Dr Mary Aiken, shed light on the dark arts of cyber crime. There will be a performance on Privacy by Hennessy Echemendia.

How can banks safely share and house datasets?
PSD2 and Open Banking in the UK have created significant opportunities for technological development and increased competition, and these opportunities rely on consumers being willing to share their financial data. However, it is important to recognise the risks that the sharing of financial data can create, as well as the opportunities. Recent high profile data breaches have highlighted the importance of strong data protection, and this is particularly relevant in the new Open Banking world where data sharing is becoming increasingly commonplace. Data sharing is an important facet of PSD2, but how can we ensure consumers are adequately protected as the landscape of financial services develops? And who are the true custodians of financial data?

Currency or commodity – how do we approach the shapeshifter that is crypto?
How should we be viewing crypto? Its volatility has shocked even the most knowledgeable of experts, and the ‘currency vs asset class’ debate rages on with no definitive answer. In only three years, the Ethereum blockchain and its native token, Ether, have not only made a few early adopters very rich, but whole businesses have been built on the ecosystem. Now, with the SEC announcing this is a security, and with regulatory oversight in the US on the horizon, what does this mean for the community? Will the rest of the world follow the US down the regulatory path, if not what does that mean for a borderless instrument? But why should cryptoassets be classed the same way, just because their means of transport uses the same features? We differentiate between a piece of music and a photograph transmitted digitally. It’s high time we started looking at these assets for what they are, and not get starry eyed over blockchain. Join our panel of certified crypto experts as they discuss, debate and de-mystify the classification of bitcoin and its cohorts.

CX, UX & ROI – Why customer centricity is commercial
If we have one thing left undone after so many years of rising FinTech, it is the that the customer should be at the centre of the organisation.  In the 90s, “CRM”, “customer first” and “one-to-one marketing” were the baselines of any strategy consultant’s work. Yet it was only in the mid-2010s that – thanks to newcomers and challengers – those words seem to have become reality. However, it is easy to execute full customer centric processes when you are in a niche market, not looking for ROI, and not always trying to cope with the infinite number of new regulations, but what about large incumbents and other players in the financial services ecosystem? Join us we leverage our collective experience to demonstrate that customer centricity is now more than ever the key to ROI and large scale developments. Uncover the importance of placing customer at heart of what you do, and join the panel for a spirited debate into the advances in tech and regulation driving customer personalisation at the minutest level.

Connecting blockchains as the final step for mass adoption of cryptocurrencies
The World Economic Forum predicts that 10 percent of the global GDP will be stored on the blockchain in less than 10 years. In terms of today’s global GDP that would be $7.8 trillion. Here a challenge arises: If we do not find a way to connect blockchains, these $7.8 trillion will be dispersed in such a way that its true value is a lot lower. So what's the solution? Dr. Julian Hosp, Co-founder & President of TenX, bestselling author and one of the world’s top blockchain experts will talk about why it’s necessary to connect blockchains without creating a new larger blockchain, what is the potential solution and why it is the final stepping stone for mass-crypto adoption.

Are their concerns about fraud and data security holding them back from a world where payments just happen? Will losing track over subscriptions hold consumer back from adopting smart re-ordering services?

Will there be a PSD3? What should we be lobbying for?
The PSD3 Panel returns! Last year at Money 20/20 Europe we had a panel discussion “PSD3 – this time we mean business”, where the viewpoints from different parts of industry addressed the question “is PSD2 not for commerce”. With 2018 is the year of PSD2 in motion, have the viewpoints from the industry changed compared to last year? What would be the new points of discussions for PSD2, and if we were going to build PSD3, what would be their wish list? We will touch upon various topics such as possible fragmentation of local legislations within EU member states and worldwide, GDPR impact, ‘Planet of the APIs’, etc. and will hear from the panelists regarding the effectiveness of the intent behind PSD2 from their perspective, with the objective of driving input to the industry as well as the legislators for future legislation around a rapidly developed technology/market.

The Joint Fintech Formula: Corporates + Startups = Payments Innovation
Startups are developing technologies that are making life simpler and more convenient, but need to find partners that can take their solutions farther. Banks and merchants see the value in startups’ out-of-the-box ideas, but struggle to deploy their own solutions. The mathematicians at Mastercard Start Path and Modo got busy with some calculations and found that Corporates + Startups = Innovation. In this discussion, they'll take you back to school to teach you why this equation works and give you to a little #paymentsgeek quiz of their own. Sharpen your pencils, bring an eraser, and find out if you're one of the smartest in the land.

Is self-sovereign identity the way forward for financial services?
The three domain identity model (3DID) provides a useful framework for thinking about real and digital identity. Using this model, we can see a clear separation between the issue of creating digital identities and binding them to things in the real world, and the use of those digital identities to support transactions in the virtual world. It is interesting to speculate whether new techniques such as self sovereign identity can transform the online identity space and whether such a transformation can help with the management of personal data at scale. After all, data might well be the new oil but in our new GDPR world, personal data might well be the new toxic waste.

The reality is that information technology is one of the largest revolutions in history. In a world of “convergence” in terms of technologies, industries etc., data is at the core of a digital society. With machines taking the lead in data processing, new questions arise. What´s the new value chain of data and analytics, and how can organizations prepare? Is AI going to change the decision making process? Opportunity or threat? What will be the impact of the increasing regulation? Should “data” become a second language for organizations? What´s behind data literacy?

How Payment data is changing the future of retail
While it has revolutionized the experience and relationships consumers hold with brands the right use of data analytics has thoroughly changed shopping. Convenience, ease-of-use, rising expectations can all be met and improved through the use of analytics, and an understanding of each customer at an individual level. This will help to shape and optimise retail and in turn improve competitiveness through better customer service. As payment industry, we need to stay ahead of this by delivering real value to retailers with insights only payment data can show. Especially as digitalization of payment and seamless payment goes along with the imperceptibly of the payment industry in the future otherwise.

Are sandboxes broken?
Sandboxes are being created across every country, but who is really benefitting? Does having a profusion of companies who wish to sandbox indicate that your policies are not working, and if so, what should be done about it? Sandboxes are the easiest and more visible way for regulators to get involved – real involvement or marketing involvement, yet to be defined – in the startup adventure. As FinTechs deal often with regulated processes, the government-driven sandbox is a great way to test the new solutions without jeopardizing the day-to-day business-as-usual. The risk is moving to a third dimension where everything is tested in the sandbox, good buzz is made about it as “a very progressive regulator allowing “almost” everything to be tested” but nothing or little is really brought to the real world, implemented and industrialize with the risk of changing the modus-operandi. The real opportunity is to use the sandbox for what is stands “a place to test fast and move out fast” to the real world where real problems, friction, hackers, and real regulations will make or break quickly any initiative tested in the safe environment of a sandbox.  What is the right approach to sandboxes: industry, international, or none of the above?

Finding international standards in X Border payments – can it be done?
Although activity in cross border payments has moved on leaps and bounds in the last few years, challenges still exist in abundance. Technological innovation alone is arguably carving the path to achieving international standards, however, the industry cannot avoid the dual role that regulation plays as both the facilitator and the blocker.
How can we overcome the challenges that regulation can pose to seize the cross-border opportunity and better serve customers on a global scale? And where does the responsibility for this truly lie?

Better, faster, stronger – advances in real-time payments and correspondent banking
Correspondent banking is an essential component of the global payment system, especially for cross-border transactions. Through correspondent banking relationships, banks can access financial services in different jurisdictions and provide cross-border payment services to their customers, supporting, inter alia, international trade and financial inclusion. The core of correspondent banking continues to be front a center in global payments, but how institutions accomplish this is beginning to evolve. In today’s era, customers expect a real-time, digital experience regardless if it’s going across a border or not so financial institutions and third-parties are looking for ways to make it a more effective and cost-efficient offering. What fresh innovations are we seeing and do we think that will radically change how cross-border payments are conducted and offered? Does the wave of new real-time payments scheme enable such innovation or will existing processes dominate?

Next-generation mobile onboarding: ReadID verifies ePassports using NFC
Combining user convenience with security for online onboarding is a major challenge that many financial institutions face. However, there is new technology to assist with this challenge: verifying the authenticity of identity documents using the NFC capability of smartphones with the ReadID app. This solution provides a higher degree of security, and increased user convenience, when compared to existing technologies based on optical verification (photo of ID document) or video verification.Join this session for a demonstration of ReadID. RealID runs on common smartphones, reads and verifies the RFID chip that is embedded in ePassports and similar identity documents. This process is simple and secure, without risk of OCR mistakes or typos. Combined with facial matching, a mobile identification process can be instant, taking under a minute to complete.Maarten will present lessons learned from the implementation at Rabobank, which went into production with ReadID earlier this year.

OTT & Telco – lessons for IoT payments
As the convergence of the global/European payments markets accelerate, it’s interesting to discuss how current players’ strategies should be. Will the banks be the new threat to FinTechs and BigTechs? Are legacy companies Sleeping Beauties, or in fact the Beast? And what could be learnings to be drawn from the heavily developed Telco industry? How did that industry respond to the entry of new players during digitization and how much of the new opportunities did the traditional industry players manage to capture? How can the players in the payments industry collaborate to make themselves stronger – and the industry prosperous?

The Case for the Bank Digital Identity
Regulation is driving banks to open access to data, but how will access to that data be secured?
Banks are going to need to develop robust customer identification tools and capabilities that are accessible via APIs to support the new world of data sharing.

These tools can also be commercialized by the bank to provide valued added services to partners and third parties.

Brief dive into architectural model to support this capability.

Self reflection: Should the banks partner together on this capability?

Self reflection: Is another player in the ecosystem better suited to provide this functionality (Government, Telco, Big Tech)?

Wrap-UP: Why the time is now.

Beyond friction – evolving POS propositions to meet retailers’ and consumers’ increasingly complex needs
How can POS players deliver for their retailers? Is the appification of POS terminals and the idea that ‘it’s all just commerce’ the right framework for innovation, and how learnings can be meaningfully shared between on and offline to meet customers’ multichannel needs? PSD2 is going to have a major impact on how people pay, or so it is claimed.  Likewise Secure Customer Authentication some argue will be the death of frictionless payments for many businesses.  But how will retailers and acquirers adapt to the new and increasingly complex world, what innovations are we likely to see and what will the reaction of consumers be to regulators making payment journeys more painful?
