Introducing this year’s streams
There will be four streams running throughout Sibos week.
The Banking stream will focus on payments and correspondent banking, with in-depth sessions exploring the challenges of delivering upgraded service propositions in a highly regulated and increasingly digitised world.
Tackling one of the industry’s defining issues, the Compliance stream will provide delegates with insights into financial crime compliance and counter terrorism financing practice and policy, and also provide information on the tools, tactics and strategies adopted by banks.
In a technology-led industry, the behaviours and attitudes of individuals are a key consideration. The new Culture stream will explore the skills, practices and methodologies that will help the finance sector contribute to society in the long term.
The Securities stream will look at how the sector is deploying technology innovation to drive new efficiencies and develop new services. The sessions will examine the ways in which market infrastructure operators, securities services firms, technology vendors and new service providers are collaborating and competing across the securities markets.
