🌟Nuno Matos, CEO, Wealth & Personal #banking, HSBC – “Everyone competing in the financial industry is already a digital organisation. Those that are not, won’t be here for a long time. To be a 360 relevant partner to our customers and to build trust we need to combine human touch with the best #technology.
To thrive in this digital world

2. Act with pace and #agility
3. Deliver with efficiency
🌟Trevor Williams , Former Chief Economist at Llyods TBS Offshore Banking “We are building less for a #risingpopulation. The #mortgage market in the UK has changed because there are a fewer larger families, more smaller families, more couples and single occupancy households so the nature of the market has changed.”
