Digital Banks – Why Will They Matter?
With the rising application of digitalisation, conventional banking is rapidly supplementing conventional products and services with the added benefits of convenience. Malaysia’s decision to open doors to digital (or virtual) banks comes hot on the heels of other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Malaysian consumers have highlighted opportunities that digital banking services are well placed to address.
“Digital Banks – Why Will They Matter?” will address what success would look like for organisations looking to establish themselves in the digital banking space. A panel of experts will share insights from their experience of setting up digital banks around the globe, and cover the following topics:
- What are digital banks
- Potential for digital banks in Malaysia based on PwC’s survey
- Background on Malaysia’s digital banking licence plan released by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)
- How digital banks differ from conventional banks
- Opportunities in Malaysia for serving the underbanked and micro SME markets.
