Transforming financial services
Transforming financial services and the way they are accessed
New technologies are transforming financial services and the way they are accessed by consumers; this digital transformation is shaping the future of banking. ESBG believes that it is difficult to encourage innovation through regulation and that digitalisation efforts need to be market-driven, where the right conditions are set to ensure that European companies can become global champions, meeting the highest requirements for consumer protection and financial stability.
Digital banking: unleash further innovation
ESBG fully supports regulatory initiatives aimed at fostering the uptake of nascent technologies and business models in Europe.
