The current investment surge in technology is underpinning the future growth strategies within the world’s major banks with unprecedented vigour. The majority of key players are making signi can’t investments in tech and IT with spending levels at an all time high. This is set to increase in the coming years, reaching the $500 billion mark before the end of the decade.
Banks are using technology to achieve a broad range of objectives as an enabler to drive down costs, renew and enhance their platforms, meet the evolving expectations of customers, strengthen compliance and boost operational ef ciencies. Regulation is also continuing to drive IT spend, particularly in Europe where banks have to comply with both European and local law. In addition, as cyber security risks become more prominent, the industry will continue to strengthen its defences.
Published in print and digital formats, this multiplatform publication provides a unique blend of in-depth commentary and analysis of the key issues shaping the market, while offering a valuable and effective way of reaching and in uencing high-spending technology professionals and c-level executives.
