The Underbanked Financial Services Forum, now in its second year, remains the primary destination for financial services companies seeking to capitalize on expanding opportunities offered by emerging markets. We offer a dynamic speaker roster, interactive and informative workshops and networking opportunities that come once in a lifetime!
Among the topics we will explore are:
- Changing Channels – Retail bankers frequently hear calls to go beyond the branch; reaching underbanked consumers requires new distribution channels that are both cost effective and more responsive to their needs. We will be covering a variety of solutions and strategies to help you do just that.
- 21st Century Credit –Transforming credit practices holds great promise as a means to attract underbanked customers and establish long-term, valuable relationships. You will learn real-world tested ways to effectively offer short term credit products, how to expand your customer base with new approaches to credit data and risk assessment, and how to improve customer communication and education to reduce defaults and improve profitability.
- Connecting With Customers - One of the greatest challenges in serving this market is understanding the many customer sub-segments it contains, and developing dynamic marketing strategies. Leading researchers and practitioners will help you understand your customers better, and give you the tools to construct campaigns that will get them in your door.
The Forum is the only banking industry event that brings together:
