Last night I moderated an event hosted by GBG with the great title: “Future of UK for FinTechs: Is the branch dead?”
We unpacked the question by looking at issues such as:
– Is the bank branch dead?
– What is the role for bank branches?
– Will the pendulum swing back to traditional face-to-face contact?
Grateful thanks for everyone who participated in the event so positively – if you missed the event you can catch the key points via the Twitter hashtag #GBGMeetup
