Cecabank Report 2018
About Cecabank
topics, such as the present and future of the securities market regulations, of
T2S (Target-2 Securities) and of Paneuropean financial infrastructures. More
than 300 attendees from 230 institutions debated the coexistence of fintechs,
ISCs (Investment Services Companies), depositaries and other market agents,
under the impact of the industry’s digitisation and regulatory pressure.
The
11th Cecabank Treasury Management and Risks Conference
was held
at the same time, with over 100 attendees from 20 entities taking part. It
became clear at this conference that the Treasury Management’s activity is
increasingly subject to two disruptive forces that are significantly changing
the way of doing business: regulation and digital transformation.
Cecabank continues to consolidate its position as a
financial innovation
hub
, in which it acts as a meeting point between banks and fintechs. Within
the framework of CK-Lab - the financial digital transformation laboratory
created by Cecabank - Public Administrations, banks and fintech companies
collaborate in initiatives related to technological innovation, and participate
in the search for a regulatory framework that favours the development of a
digital financial company.
This fact was confirmed by the attendance of over 180 people from banks,
management companies and fintechs to the
CK-Lab “The future of Open
Banking”
sessions organised by Cecabank in January 2019.
During the debate that took place, it was made clear that the banks have
to adapt to the new ecosystem with new players and a set of rules that will
arise in line with this new situation, such as the transposition of the payment
services directive (PSD2).
Also framed within the CK-Lab collaboration forum and aimed at promoting
training, research, development and innovation in financial services and
digital transformation, Cecabank and the
Camilo José Cela University
entered a collaboration agreement.
