Trade technology in banking technology should be top of mind in these challenging times. Join our one hour virtual panel, supported by CGI, as experts discuss the state of play in bank trade technology and why it is important right now.

It’s not been plain sailing for trade digitisation and banks and financial institutions recently. In this virtual panel discussion, in association with CGI, TXF asks experts to shed light on what is actually changing in bank trade technology, and the end goal of where that trade technology needs to be to continue to support resilient international trade.

- We discuss the CGI and the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT) annual trade technology survey results, which showed where banks themselves are positioned, and the journey they still need to go on. What are the insights, and what are the trends?

- The state of play of trade digitisation – where is trade headed?

- What does the future of end-to-end digitisation actually look like?

- Given current trends, how do trade banks need to adjust their business models to continue to stay competitive?

- How should trade banks think about their digitisation journey?

- What is the impact of recent announcements regarding trade networks? How should banks be thinking about interoperability?
