You don't need a transformation programme to transform commercial onboarding

Powered by:

17th June 2026 | SUSHISAMBA, London

Commercial onboarding in banking is broken - and everyone in the room knows it. At 49 days and £11,000 average per client, the process of bringing a new business customer from application to live is still too slow, too manual, and too exposed. Regulators are tightening their expectations on KYC, AML and CDD. Clients are comparing your onboarding experience to every digital-first interaction they have outside of banking. And the internal pressure to fix it - without a three-year transformation programme - has never been higher.

There's a faster path. And we'd like to show it to you.

Join us for an exclusive breakfast, powered by nCino, where commercial banking leaders will share how they are cutting onboarding timelines from months to weeks. Then better yet, they are doing it without ripping out what's already working and shifting the focus from all-encompassing transformation programmes whilst achieving faster results.

Share stories and experiences with peers over a delicious breakfast in an inspirational venue. Discover how faster onboarding, stronger control, and a materially improved client experience can become a reality in weeks, not years.

Why attend?

The breakfast event is designed for financial services professionals focused on building commercial onboarding journeys that deliver exceptional customer experiences without compromising regulatory compliance.

In a world where every digital touchpoint is a chance to delight, it is just as easily a moment to fall short of rising expectations in banking. Getting it right is critical to success in a competitive industry.

We’re bringing together innovators who are rethinking onboarding and proving transformation can be delivered at pace, in weeks rather than years.

Join senior innovation and transformation leaders for the kind of conversations that change how businesses operate. Add a great breakfast and an inspiring venue to the mix and you have the perfect start to a high-impact day.

09:10 - 09:45Panel: Fined Into Action - Has Manual Onboarding Become a Liability You Can No Longer Ignore?

Three things are forcing the issue right now:

Compliance: Regulatory tolerance for manual KYC, AML and CDD is tightening – and mid-market banks are firmly in scope.
Efficiency: At 49 days and £11,000 per client, friction at every stage slows revenue recognition and erodes relationships you’ve worked hard to win.
Data & AI: The race to AI-powered onboarding is on – but the institutions that win it are the ones that got their data right first.
