Become a Smarter Bank
Successful banks and credit unions at the end of this decade will have transcended capital and liquidity scarcity and instead will be driving value from the abundance of distinct knowledge and intellectual assets.
The time has come for:
- A more efficient model.
- A more creative model.
- A more dynamic model.
And the future of America’s financial system depends on it. The smarter bank will embrace and leverage new technology, look to build a workforce of knowledge workers and openly collaborate with the outside world to achieve higher performance than the competitively struggling traditional banks of today.
