The State of Trade Technology
The influx of new and innovative technologies has given rise to a variety of initiatives in banking and trade finance to support digital acceleration, collaboration, rising compliance requirements, and improving processes to increase efficiencies. Banks are also contending with mounting ESG expectations as well as the continued challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We wanted to know where are we now, and where are we going? With this in mind, BAFT and CGI asked for member input on financial institution technology priorities.
This on-demand webinar featuring BAFT, CGI, National Bank of Canada, and Scotiabank discusses the survey results, providing current insights from banks on the state of technology in trade and the criticality of future innovation investments.
