    During the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a massive shift to digital. Banks operating in central and eastern Europe are looking to re-engineer their customer experience to drive retail digital sales across the region.

    The Banker Leadership Series is sponsored by Backbase but independently edited.

    In discussion:

    Frictionless onboarding: Covid-19 has accelerated the move to digital. Our panel of experts discuss the challenges to re-engineering the client onboarding experience and outline their views as to how to improve the onboarding process.

    Expanding share of wallet: Creating a seamless and frictionless customer experience (CX) is an overarching business imperative for banks. Our panel of experts discuss how to keep customers engaged throughout the sales lifecycle and deliver a differentiated experience.

    A holistic view of the customer: Hyper-personalisation is being enabled through technology, however it is still difficult to create that holistic view of the customer. Our panel of experts discuss how it is possible to empower employees to drive digital sales by having a full view of the customer at their fingertips.

    Future resiliency: Banks are replacing their legacy IT infrastructure to be fit for purpose in the future. Our panel of experts discuss best practices when modernising technology stacks, and also the growing importance of cloud technology in future-proofing their business.

    Challenging the challengers: In such a fast-changing competitive landscape, banks need to identify emerging threats and ways to stay ahead of the competition. Our panel of experts also give their opinions as to how retail banking will change in the next five years.
