Since 1926, The Banker, a service from the Financial Times, has been the trusted source of banking information, with a reputation for accuracy, authority and integrity. We have reliably covered the biggest events in the banking world, from the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, as well as the important innovations that have transformed the industry from within. And we will continue to do so, even more effectively with our new format. The Banker will help financial leaders drive growth and operational efficiency by covering valuable stories about the latest developments worldwide that they won’t read anywhere else. It is the key source of data and analysis for the industry.
The global financial industry is going through a huge transformation, as banks reimagine their business strategy in response to digital disruptors, changing customer needs and the urgency of transitioning to a net-zero emissions world. Staying on top of new banking trends and emerging technologies is critical to all strategic decision-makers.
As the leading source of objective and incisive financial intelligence, The Banker is also transforming how it delivers this strategic insight to help financial leaders build the next generation of global banking. We have recognised that the incredibly fast pace of change in the industry and beyond necessitates a trusted source that delivers bespoke information across different mediums.
As such, our website, videos, podcasts, newsletters, magazine, and social media feeds have been redesigned to meet the needs of senior executives in the world’s leading banks and help them make better informed decisions in this fast-changing environment.
Each day, our editorial team will be focused on the strategic and operational challenges that these financial leaders personally face. We will deliver data, analysis and expert perspectives in the way senior executives want it, with both succinct summaries and in-depth research.
To help readers stay up-to-date with relevant alerts on the topics that matter most to them, we have reconfigured our global coverage into five content pillars:
- Banking strategies, which includes sector coverage of capital markets, transaction banking and retail banking;
- Digital journeys, covering emerging technologies, digital transformation and the fintech ecosystem;
- ESG & sustainability, monitoring sustainable finance and other developments;
- Regulations, tracking the changing regulatory environment in different jurisdictions;
- Global economies, exploring macroeconomic trends and taking deep dives into country operations.
In addition to the new content pillars, banks will continue to be able to benchmark themselves against their peers through proprietary data and profiles of the Top 1000 World Banks ranking, and identify the right partner in new markets and geographies, with added analysis from The Banker’s expert team of editors.
Promoting best practice across the industry is of utmost importance to The Banker. Subscribers can connect with peers through our community-building service (video summits, conference calls, etc) and networking at our live events (conferences and awards).
