EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE
A shift in strategy: business banking experiences for the next digital age
From regulatory change to the competitive landscape: digitally transforming SME banking CX strategies
5 December | 3PM GMT | Online
From the Basel 3.1 amendments earlier this year, to economic impacts on SME financing, the SME landscape is experiencing a series of seismic shifts. While the end of post-pandemic SME financial aid heralds a period of potential difficulty for SMEs, the imminent tightening of lending regulation forecasts a decrease in SME loan availability.
As a result, the SME customer market is turning towards challenger and specialist banks, who offer customers speedy, seamless and fully digital onboarding, banking and loan origination at affordable rates. The question is, how can traditional banks step up to the mark to deliver next level SME banking experiences to keep up with the competition?
What we will explore
1. Assessing the current state of play regarding SME banking and lending in today’s turbulent economic environment.
2. Navigating capital adequacy: how are regulatory changes going to impact SME banks lenders?
3. The new CX benchmark: what digital expectations must banks meet in their SME offerings?
4. From digital onboarding to product structuring and accurate credit risk assessments: strategies for today’s SME landscape.

Closing remarks
Backbase enables banks to break free from the constraints of legacy IT systems and embrace a new-generation engagement banking platform.
Our whitelabel platform enables banks to gradually replace or decompose disparate legacy systems and construct a modern journey orchestration architecture around customer needs. These incremental changes allow banks to streamline business critical customer journeys across all touch points while eliminating silos and empowering both customers and employees at their unique pace and priority.
Furthermore, a unique “buy plus build” operating model enables banks to gain speed and flexibility, allowing them to accelerate in their modernization journey. Adopting powerful out-of-the-box platform features and customer journeys into their existing tech ecosystem, enables banks to start delivering immediate value. At the same time the platform’s capability to coexist in open polyglot architectures gives developers the freedom and flexibility to build unique, differentiating value, rather than building the basic functionalities from scratch.
With Backbase, banks can truly unlock the potential of customer-centricity and lead the way in shaping the future of banking. We help banks re-architecting banking around their customers through omni-channel engagement orchestration.
