Quantum computing is moving rapidly from scientific research into commercial reality. While widespread adoption may still be several years away, its potential to transform financial services and challenge today's cyber security foundations is already shaping technology strategies across the industry.


This practical webinar will separate the hype from reality, explaining what quantum computing is, why it matters, and how it could reshape banking, lending, fraud detection, optimisation and cyber resilience.

We'll explore the opportunities and risks through the lens of UK building societies and specialist lenders, discussing what leaders should be doing today to prepare for tomorrow.

Key Takeaways:
  • Understand quantum computing without needing a physics degree
  • Learn why quantum matters for financial services
  • Explore practical use cases across lending, treasury, fraud and risk
  • Understand the cyber security implications and post-quantum cryptography
  • Discover practical steps building societies can begin taking today
  • Ask questions of industry experts during a live panel discussion
