Out with the old – Interactive Workshop

Customer experience strategies, products and design that has been around for decades is no longer fit for purpose. The customer of today and into the future is at home in an always on, digital first world. But no one wishes to eliminate the human relationships and understanding that have built this industry over centuries.

  • Which elements of customer design would you like to see sent to a charity shop?
  • What limiting beliefs should be consigned to the bin?
  • Which strategies and experiences should never reemerge as a retro trend?

Audience engagement exercise with senior speakers from the day on stage

Fraud, payments and reimbursements – Panel Discussion

UK rules mandate that banks reimburse victims of Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud within five business days, up to a maximum of £85,000.

How do you determine if customer was “grossly negligent” or ignored bank warnings and could be denied reimbursement?

The last frontier for digital – wealth – Panel Discussion

High net and ultra-high net worth wealth management is a highly analogue and human relationship-based business.

  • What role do digital offerings play?
  • Will the next generation of wealth management and private banking customers demand more “consumer-style” services?
  • How is the industry planning for these changes?
