Is society ready to go cashless? — Panel, 14:45–15:30
In a panel discussion including Erica Kostelijk (Head of transaction banking at ABN AMRO), a ‘cashless society’ is discussed. With the prospect of a cashless society soon to be a reality for many, uncertainty about what this means for consumers is creeping in as millions of people still rely on cash. It sparks concerns about how financially inclusive digital banking really is. What does a cashless society look like? How would this impact financial inclusion and what is the role of governments and central banks in ensuring people are not left behind? How close are we to becoming cashless?
Day 2 — June 17
Employing technology to combat financial crimes — Robin de Jongh (ABN AMRO), 14:30–15:00
Robin leads you into the world of financial crime and talks about the gatekeeper role that banks fulfill. How does technology contribute to this and where are the innovation gaps? Various forms of technical expertise required to prevent and combat financial crime are discussed.
Worldwide about 2,400 billion euros are used in criminal transactions every year. Banks like ABN AMRO have a role as gatekeeper to detect these criminal transactions. But to successfully fight financial crime, it is essential for banks, governmental institutions, and police to collaborate. Technology helps the partners to track the criminal transactions down. They use existing and emerging technologies to solve the complex challenges related to financial crimes. How does technology contribute to the various areas and the work of the different parties? Where may the innovation gaps be? What various kinds of technology expertise are required? How do commercial and non-commercial institutions work together and innovate along the way to prevent and combat financial crime (from money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, terrorist financing, etc). What role can other companies/industries play in this process and in the future of financial crime prevention?
‘Ask a developer anything’ session followed by drinks — Panel of ABN AMRO Developers, 16:00–16:30
