Very soon, SaaS based banking systems will be universal and strategic partnerships are playing a key role in their delivery. In this episode of the FF Virtual Arena we host Stéphane Meslet and Holger Lehmann from Temenos as well as Surya Vedula from software specialists Nagarro to find out how they’re providing banks with the tools they need.

Of course, banks large and small require standardised levels of compliance, security and capability but they also need solutions that are tailored to the demands of their specific consumer base. Lehmann and Meslet will explain how their Infinity product is able to offer this and how partners such as Nagarro can use the building blocks it provides to deliver localised systems.

Vedula can also provide some insight into that partnership and together our speakers explore how they’re approaching the evolving needs of the banking sector, as an increased dataset plays a central role and agility and adaptation is essential to stay competitive.

Reimagining digital asset custody for financial institutions’ customers.

Secure custody could be the key to mainstream institutional adoption.

That’s the topic of our latest FF Virtual Arena. This time around, Money20/20 Head of Content for Europe and the author of ‘Why DeFi Matters’, Ian Horne speaks to Alex Gatiragas, Director of Solution Experience at Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) to find out how the big players can balance open minded innovation, with building trust around digital assets.

In this fascinating conversation, Horne asks what it will take to see mainstream adoption and Gatiragas provides an insight into the current landscape. G+D themselves are entering this sector with a new product – ConvegoⓇ TruSafe – specifically designed to “enable financial institutions to ensure retail investors navigate the digital asset landscape with confidence”. As for the future of this technology, we hear about the role digital wallets could play and some game changing use cases too.

Be sure to check out our previous Virtual Arena, titled ‘Digital Asset Use Cases Are Ready To Explode’, in which we interviewed Gatiragas along with Sabih Behzad from Deutsche Bank and Teana Baker-Taylor from Crypto UK to find out more about this topic. This episode is the perfect follow on to that and shows how G+D continue to innovate in this area.
