Our 2023 agenda revolved around some key themes

THE COST OF FRAUD

Fraud is costly. Financial institutions face fines for non-compliance, liability for customer reimbursement, operational costs and the price of reputational damage. How can innovation methods of fraud prevention help to keep pace by improving security and efficiency?

CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS

Innovation in the financial services sector is driving towards real-time, invisible payments and transactions with minimal customer friction. Financial institutions have to invest in the right identity technologies to facilitate a ‘friction-free’ experience while protecting customer security.

STANDARDS AND REGULATION

Legislation on open banking, privacy and data protection, digital inclusion, and the tightening of controls around KYC, AML and CFT are placing increasing emphasis on the importance of digital identity. Financial institutions will need to future proof their operations for this coming shift.

NEW REVENUE OPPORTUNITY

Financial institutions have access to vast amounts of customer data. Is there an opportunity for a ‘bank-led’ digital identity, to have an impact in a fragmented ecosystem, whereby financial institutions act as ‘custodians’ of customers digital identities beyond the financial sector?

FINANCIAL INCLUSION

10% of individuals and 30% of minorities in the US alone have no government issued identity and an estimated 4.5% of households are unbanked . Could digital identity help to address this gap and pave the way for greater inclusion and access to the digital economy?

OPEN FINANCE

Financial institutions of all shapes and sizes want customers to have access to competitive, customized financial services, but not all have the budget to facilitate innovation. Could the growth of open banking and APIs make identity innovation more accessible?

A trusted identity ecosystem will be key in supporting the move to a new economy. The right technology is out there, but what will bring disparate public and private identity schemes together in a way that is convenient for users? How can we build bridges, within financial services and beyond, to establish interoperability? What role will financial institutions play in shaping the future of digital identity?

11:10 - 11:35 - Fireside chat - The future is open

Financial institutions of all shapes and sizes want to provide their customers with competitive and customised services.

  • Camellia George, Co-Founder and CEO, Koxa and Member, Taskforce Lead, Financial Data Exchange (Moderator) 

11:35 - 12:15 - Panel discussion - Supporting the full customer lifecycle with digital identity

For financial providers, digital identity plays a key role at every stage of a customer relationship. How can businesses ensure customers have a seamless, secure experience from onboarding to subsequent authentications and even at off-boarding? Which technologies will enable a personalised experience, while keeping data secure? Should customers be afforded greater control over their identities?

How are private and public sector initiatives driving adoption of digital identity wallets across North America? What role will financial institutions play?

  • Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead, VC Innovations

1:55 - 2:15 - Fireside chat – The risks and rewards of digital identity

Digital identity and biometrics can unlock real benefits for end-users, but there are risks that must be considered.

  • Tess Buckley, Senior Analyst, AI Ethics, EthicsGrade
  • Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead, VC Innovations (Moderator)

2:15 - 3:00 - Panel discussion – Identity and security in a decentralized digital economy

Cutting-edge forms of finance such as crypto and DeFi are becoming more mainstream, creating a perfect breeding ground for money laundering and fraud. As the industry comes under increasing pressure to comply with AML and KYC regulations, how are companies embracing more robust identity verification measures? Can trust be established without compromising user privacy and anonymity? Will we see increasing applications for decentralized credentials built on the blockchain?
