Cecabank Report 2018
About Cecabank
Within the scope of innovation, Cecabank has led, together with another
eight financial institutions, the creation of Niuron, the first blockchain
financial consortium in Spain, where blockchain technology is being
developed to meet banking uses. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
was developed by December 2018, that is, a platform with minimum
functionality aimed at entering into actual production with 6 entities.
To discuss this and other topics, the event
“Blockchain: from theory
to practice”
, organised by El Confidencial and sponsored by Cecabank,
Metrovacesa, Everis, JLL, Business school and Finweg, was held at
Cecabank’s Asssmebly Hall in October.
One more year, Cecabank has supported the
Spain Investors Day
, the
reference financial forum in Spain
, in which the major international
investors can learn about the current situation of the main companies listed
in our country.
The event
Iberian Value
was held at the Mutua Madrileña Foundation’s
Auditorium in April. It was attended by investors and managers whose
investment philosophy is based on discovering long-term value. El
Confidencial and Finect, with Cecabank’s support, created a meeting space at
this event for the people who best represent investments in Spain. The event
attracted approximately twenty renowned Spanish managers, and each of
them delivered a brief presentation in which an investment idea was shared
with the attendees.
Cecabank has also supported the annual event organised by
ISLA
(International Securities Lending Association)
, which is the international
association for securities lending. This event was held in Lisbon under title
27th Annual conference on Securities Finance and Collateral Management.
Within the scope of financial regulation, Cecabank supported the
legal
debate organised by the Funds People magazine
, which consists in a
quarterly meeting where professionals gather to analyse the current
regulation on collective investment.
Furthermore, the first
RegTech Unconference Madrid 2018
took place.
Cecabank, one of the major market leaders in advisory services for financial
regulation and in providing consultancy services, supported and was present
at the event.
In the field of CSR, the
World Food Day
and the
6th Edition of the Great
Food Pickup
were held; the latter is a nationwide charity campaign. During
the presentation, the
Madrid Food Bank Foundation
granted Cecabank the
2018 Award in the Sponsorship category for its collaboration in the various
activities carried out.
With the ambition of becoming a reference space for dialogue that facilitates
a debate between members in our sector and relevant institutions and
strategic actors of current society, Cecabank created
ckb-Talks
in 2018. José
María Lassalle, State Secretary for Information Society and Digital Agenda of
Spain, participated in the first session.
