The event brings together Building Societies and Credit Unions from across the UK and Ireland for a day focused on a theme of innovation and how embracing the latest technologies can help the mutual sector to thrive in a new era, as the providers of Key Financial Services to their communities.
Mutuals have long been built on trust, a consistent and personal approach, local connection and an ability to maintain long-term relationships through fair rates and prices. But in a digital-first world where AI and other technologies are evolving at pace, we now face unique pressures: a need to modernize without losing identity, grow and compete with purpose made digital businesses, and all whilst doing this effectively both in terms of cost and time.
Who it's aimed at:
Suitable for all key personnel responsible for creating, leading and delivering change within their organizations at strategic and tactical levels. The day will involve presentations and discussions from Societies, Credit Unions, and technology providers who are working closely to deliver innovation-led growth and enhanced operating models whilst maintaining the personal touch. We have member organizations from across the UK plus the Financial Conduct Authority, Building Societies Association, Open Banking Limited, OneBanx, Microsoft, Consectus, docStribute, ACF Technologies, Whitecap Consulting and more.
