According to a recent survey by EY, 88 per cent of senior executives in Switzerland are convinced that a fundamental structural change has begun in the country. Competition from fintechs and international banks are the main reasons. In fact, Swiss banks and other financial institutions have been changing and will continue to do so as payments methods, messaging, and regulations evolve.

Four main areas of change including Instant Payments & Real-Time Gross Settlement, adoption of SIC5, CBPR+ Messaging & Finance IP Net, among others, will affect Switzerland and other countries in the region and across the world. The perception may be that the Swiss financial system is isolated. But it's globally engaged and keeping pace as much as any country.

However, with change comes the need to understand new technologies and communications for financial institutions. Although Switzerland is not part of the EU, we must ensure that banks can communicate with both the local domestic infrastructures and with the external world. Switzerland is a future-focused country. Banks that do business here, foreign or domestic, need a partner that can provide connectivity and create infrastructure harmony.

The expert webinar panel of Anapaya and Bottomline will help banks & FIs in Switzerland develop the most efficient and innovative strategies to ensure speed to market and a competitive edge.

Register to learn about:

• How is the payments landscape changing in Switzerland & what impact will it have on current road-maps?
• How key is SIC Instant Payments and how can banks & FIs adapt to the new way to communicate Real-Time Gross Settlement messages?
• What is CBPR+ and how does this differ from existing SIC mandated ISO 20022 domestic scheme in 2015?
• What are the benefits that this will bring to make Switzerland more competitive and what is the use case for early adoption?
