2019 presented with the support of partners, including
Orange Business Services and Additiv (an Orange partner) which

Pieter Zylstra, Director of Digital Transformation at Orange
Business Services, joined a panel discussion held during the session
on AI, Machine Learning and robotics, on what the bank of the future
will look like.
Zylstra shared the distinctive view of Orange Business Services
on enterprise Digital Transformation across a range of verticals,
including BFSI, both as a mobile services operator and trusted
partner to government and enterprise, as well as a mobile banking
services provider.
“FinTech gives traditional banks and financial services companies
an edge, by bringing traditional banking services into the 21st
century,” said Zylstra.
“FinTech allows banks to embrace the new platform economy, by
offering a multitude of innovative and profitable financial services to
existing and new clients, primarily using mobile and digital channels.
FinTech is bringing banking to the unbanked in geographically
disparate places, it can mean making payments and money transfers
quicker, easier and cheaper than ever before.”
The summit brought together senior bankers from across the world
to share experiences and views on the leadership and governance
challenges of taking Digital Transformation to the next level.
