It’s a rarity that you get to witness the top leaders of banking and financial services firms getting into a huddle to chart out their roadmap for future. This year’s Singapore FinTech Festival promises such a scenario given the increasing buzz around AI, deep learning and chatbots, among others.
Digital transformation is at the heart of today’s banking, insurance and financial services ecosystem. Be it banks, insurance firms or various players within what is broadly called the financial services sector, technology has become an integral part of their business, so much so that most activities in these organizations – like trading, personal finance or currency exchange – are now being executed through mobile apps or other online platforms.
Customers love it when traditional banking services, products and offerings come laced with technology, and makes their job easier on one hand by saving time and effort, and also leaves behind a better digital experience. The huge demand and popularity for solutions like e-payments or online trading is the reason why financial services players are adapting digital technologies fast.

Currently, many organizations are deploying chatbots to handle customer requests, manage multiple accounts, check bank balance, and to deliver financial advisory services. The overall objective is to save time and costs with faster delivery of highly personalized solutions in a secure manner.
