The 2018 International Retail Banking-Fintech Forum London - presented by Lafferty in partnership with ClearBank - is an exclusive opportunity to meet and get to know the leaders and achievers in retail banking and fintech from around the globe. Building on the success of the International Retail Banking-Fintech Forum held in Shenzen earlier this year, the conference will have a firm focus on case studies and practical examples, led by the business leaders who are driving the digital transformation of retail banking.

Our expert speaker panel will give delegates the benefit of their experience and insight into the opportunities and risks facing the industry, from the democratisation of finance, through the technologies disrupting traditional banking – AI, blockchain, cryptocurrencies and more –  to the convergence of digital developments with the ‘real’ world of bank branch design.
