e-banking - Regulatory & Security Perspectives

You are cordially invited to join the HKIB luncheon to be held on the 7th September 2015.
Financial institutions have evolved in recent years to offer a multichannel experience, enabling customers to interact with their bank in a variety of channels.  As customers are becoming more and more comfortable with using mobile and internet channels for banking services, ongoing innovation is fast becoming one of the most important prerequisites for the success of financial institutions.  Whilst banks must continue to renew themselves given the rapid pace of advancement of technology, security remains a top concern for banks in order to protect the customer information, transactions and data.

At this HKIB Luncheon series, our keynote speaker Mr. Brian Lee, Head of Operational, Technology and Treasury Risks Division, Banking Supervision Department of Hong Kong Monetary Authority will outline the key changes in the new Supervisory Policy Manual (SPM) on e-banking that will be issued soon by the HKMA.  Mr. Michael Leung, Chief Information & Operations Officer of China CITIC Bank International (and chairman of the Hong Kong Computer Society) will look at the latest mobile initiatives (such as mobile payment) of banks and non-bank players.  Representative from IBM will look at how the industry should leverage on optimized IT security initiatives to help achieving regulatory compliance while transforming the business to reap the benefits of digital technology.

Date & Time: 11am to 2pm on 7th September (Mon). Sit down lunch will be provided.
