Aite Group’s Second Annual Small-Business User Experience Forum

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of banking forever. While the “new normal” is still being determined, one thing we know for sure is that a bank’s ability to deliver real-time, seamless, and automated digital experiences and transactions to its business customers is critical to success. Further, platform extensibility, fintech partnerships, and greater use of embedded data for money management tools and fraud prevention are now expected. User experience has become a key point of differentiation, and your competition is no longer just the bank next door.

Join Aite Group research director Christine Barry along with senior analysts Erika Baumann, David O’Connell, and Gilles Ubaghs on Wednesday, April 21 and Thursday, April 22 for a dynamic virtual event experience exploring key small-business issues, digital transformation, and bank innovation. Hear from industry thought leaders about key bank strategies and tactics that can be implemented for greater success as well as how technology is evolving to support a quickly changing environment.

Key Reasons to Attend:

  • Participate in interactive panel discussions covering some of the industry’s hottest topics, including small-business digital experiences, use cases for real-time payments, building the right fintech ecosystem, supporting new money management requirements, and leveraging lessons learned from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to prevent lending fraud.
  • Network and exchange ideas with bank and credit union executives as well as top technology providers and thought leaders through an interactive virtual experience.
  • Hear from Aite Group analysts about key trends impacting your business, and get recommendations on how to best position your organization for future success in today’s evolving industry.
 

Who Should Attend:

Senior-level banking executives and financial industry leaders, including top technology providers, focused on exceeding new small-business expectations around user experience, payments, and lending, and on expanding capabilities beyond those traditionally offered by the banking industry.
