Driving banking transformation and innovation

ENGAGE Asia 2024 will gather over 120 visionary banking leaders, regulators, and tech advisors to explore the transformation of digital banking toward a more customer-focused future. The event features a dynamic agenda, including five customer success stories from Techcombank, EastWest Bank, HDFC Bank, ABBANK, and OCB, showcasing how these banks have innovated to drive ROE, quantify acceleration, lead in humanization, and deliver simplified, intuitive experiences. Additionally, two CXO Asia Panels will highlight insights from top industry banking executives, including Backbase customers BDO Unibank and Chinabank, as they discuss elevating digital engagement and designing banking experiences that cater to the evolving needs of tomorrow’s customers.

With a special focus on AI, sessions such as “Synergizing Success: Architecting AI-Powered Banking Around the Customer with Scalable Differentiation” and "Enhance Customer Value Through AI and Automation" (the latter delivered by Greg Fahy, SVP Technology at Backbase) will delve into how AI technologies are reshaping customer engagement, driving revenue, and enhancing operational efficiency.
