Pre-register for Flexible connectivity: the role of banks in future trade ecosystems
Bank disintermediation from trade is already happening. This whitepaper by David Gustin, Jason Busch and David Hennah will present corporate and bank research and analysis and highlight the ways in which banks can stay at the centre of connected commercial banking – creating networks for globalized corporates to access the relevant, timely and secure financial services they demand.
- To what extent are cloud start-ups with “information advantaged” finance models a threat to tomorrow’s stability and growth?
- Bank intermediated credit is dominant. Long standing relationships die hard but collectively banks must hold more equity today and equity is expensive. Non-traditional players have made great strides. What do corporates think and what services are they adopting?
- Traditional services such as receivables monitoring and collection, credit assessment, payment guarantees and financing be replaced in an automated fashion by B2B networks. What will the market look like in three to five years?
