Digitalisation has embraced each and every aspect of the banking function, and now the technology has spearheaded the way the banks are interacting with customers and non-customers.
What is digitalization, its trends and cases in digitalisation will be the central theme of the discussion. It will address the audience on cryptocurrency, its evolution and impact to the financial industry in addition to having a Q & A session.
The introduction of cryptocurrency has to be made with due care on security aspects, technological aspects and overall impact to the banking industry. Thus, it goes hand-in-hand with proper regulation. As an integral part of digitalisation, the webinar will address the regulatory aspects in introducing cryptocurrency to the Sri Lankan banking industry in particular, and to the Sri Lankan financial market in general.
