Is the Future of Money Digital and Instant?

Track: Banking & Payments

Speaker: Andrew Haskell, Global FX Solutions, BNY Mellon

Location: Conference Stage 5 (CS5)

 

Session Description:  Digitization is changing the way we pay. The past decade has seen the rise of online banking and mobile apps. Consumers and businesses are migrating away from cash and checks towards electronic payments, including card payments, electronic fund transfers and e-money payments. There’s a rapidly growing use of contactless and fast payments systems. And central banks the world over are now exploring issuing their own digital currencies. Digital payments executed in seconds all around the world: Is that the future of money? What does this future look like and how do we get there? And how do we make sure no one is left behind? In this session, our expert panel will explore these questions and more.


3:00 to 4:00 PM EDT

IBM at Sibos Workshop Panel: Digitalization of Trade and Supply Chain Finance – Solving for Today, Anticipating Tomorrow

Track: IBM Workshop

Speaker: Zoran Kanlic, Head of Financial Supply Chain for Corporate Trade, BNY Mellon Treasury Services

 

Session Description:  The time is now for modernization of the trade finance and supply chain journey. By accessing real-time data, increasing transparency and eliminating manual processes, end-to-end digitalization can help financial institutions unlock greater value from legacy trade and supply chain practices. It also opens the door for AI technologies to create more intelligent, secure and reliable platforms.

 

The path to digitalization, however, can hold challenges such as cybersecurity, standardization and stakeholder collaboration. Join our panel of industry leaders to hear how institutions are using the latest advances in technology, innovating processes, and aligning with ISVs and ecosystem partners to create a stronger and more sustainable model for the future.

What is the Impact of Technology and Data on Financial Services

Track: Big Issue Debate

Speaker: Cathinka Wahlstrom, Chief Commercial Officer, BNY Mellon 

Location: Conference Stage 4 (CS4)

 

Session Description: Market infrastructures have a key role to play in enabling instant and frictionless end-to-end payments between bank accounts in their own communities. But what do you get when you interlink them? A much wider reach and a better payments experience across borders. In this session, we’ll explain SWIFT’s vision to interoperate with these market infrastructures, combining the global presence of SWIFT with their domestic reach. Whether a market infrastructure runs on SWIFT or on its proprietary communication channels, linking it with SWIFT has many benefits, including extending its reach globally, leveraging the values brought by the SWIFT platform, providing end-customers a truly instant experience for their cross-border payments and achieving frictionless end-to-end transactions between any two bank accounts globally. 

2:30 to 3:30 PM EDT

Track: Industry Session

Speaker: Talia Klein, Head of Digital Asset Client Experience & Solutions, BNY Mellon 

Location: Conference Stage 5 (CS5)

Join us for a lively debate where we will hear different viewpoints about where we are with tokenization, what will come next and how fast.


3:30 to 4:30 PM EDT

Sensemaker: Swift’s Federated AI Initiative to Tackle Global Fraud 

Speaker: Jason Rosado

Location: Innotribe Stage (INN)

 

Session Description: In a world of ever faster and evolving payment solutions, the battle against fraud not only demands robust security, prevention and detection measures from individual institutions alone – but also an unwavering commitment for the industry to fight fraud collectively on a global level. The true cost of fraud is not merely financial, it leads to a profound erosion of trust that affects the entire industry. As such, Swift is committed to working with its global community to develop innovative solutions that prevent fraud and promote a more inclusive global economy that works better for everyone.

 

Join this session to learn from BNY Mellon, Scotiabank and Microsoft about how they are collaborating with Swift to harness the power of Federated AI and confidential computing to tackle fraud, whilst preserving privacy and data sovereignty.

But help is on the way. The introduction of rich and structured data in cross-border payments opens up a unique opportunity to bring more efficiency to exceptions management.Standardized market practices and central orchestration to increase automation and streamline processes are on the horizon. Hear from our panel of banks and vendors about the benefits this transformation is set to bring.


3:00 to 3:45 PM EDT
