Financial Times Live is proud to host the 2016 Middle East Banking Forum. As middle-eastern banks face many challenges, including the international regulation-related burdens, many banks' de-risking strategies have been causing problems with customer access and customer service. Banks are under pressure to protect assets from cyber attacks and fraud while at the same time adapting to new technologies. Additional key topics will include mobile banking, customer-centered methodologies for competitive advantages, innovation in risk management, and fintech.
