Demographic driven change will demand new products and services.

“There is a digital transformation underway in the global financial services industry. This transformation - shaped by social, economic, technological and political change – is having a dramatic impact on how information, services and content are delivered and shared. Consumers of all ages, with access to an exponentially growing array of electronic devices and applications, are redefining what it means to be empowered and connected.

This digital transformation, offering pervasive connectivity, increasing mobility and more intuitive interfaces, is shaping how and where consumers interact with each other, with businesses and with their financial institutions. Innovation is accelerating as companies find new ways to harness technology to capture consumers’ imaginations – and dollars.

For credit unions this new era of digital transformation offers myriad opportunities and also poses a number of important challenges and potential threats. This session will review these and will attempt to forecast the fundamental changes that will occur in the financial services during this decade and how credit unions can (and should) respond to them."
