EBA Winter School 2017

La Hulpe, Belgium – 28th

to 30th

November

Correspondent Banking: A New Payments Paradigm

The focus of the EBA Winter School 2017 will be on the significant trends and emerging developments in

the European and world-wide cross-border payments industry. It will explore the critical implications of the

changing landscape for financial industry players and how they might best respond to a combination of

evolving customer demands, interactions at cross-industry level, tighter regulations, and new emerging

technologies. Amongst the critical questions that delegates will consider are:

• What do corporate treasurers now expect from the evolving payments landscape and what problems need to be solved to meet these changing expectations?

• What are the major new cross-border innovations underway or on the horizon and, specifically, who is doing what to seize opportunities?

• What are the short and long-term implications for banks’ correspondent banking relationships in a future likely to be influenced by technology driven real-time information and instant payments?

• What’s next and which emerging technologies will increasingly and progressively help deliver more value for financial institutions and their customers?

• Which partnership options could financial institutions and FinTechs consider in order to address new challenges in a payments world under transformation?

• Which areas or issues would benefit from collective action or dialogue involving the different market players and stakeholders?
