With the rate of technological innovation continuing apace, how is the mutual sector staying ahead and keeping their products relevant and available for members? Looking at the digitally native generations, who expect things fast and available 24/7 where and when needed, can the mutual sector meet their needs whilst nurturing their already loyal membership?
Mitigating the effects of climate change will require the participation of all sectors of economies and societies. Is the mutual sector primed to lead the way forward when it comes to sustainable finance initiatives? Can the sector leverage its famously purpose-driven approach to provide a better world for members and the environment?
Widespread economic challenges have left many in a more precarious financial position. How are building societies, credit unions and community banks innovating their loans and mortgages to empower the likes of first-time buyers and those who find themselves beset by new sets of challenges?
Reaching and empowering the financially excluded and underserved is very much an objective of the mutual sector. Many institutions are committed to doing outreach to their local communities to educate and build confidence amongst their membership. Is the mutual sector key to providing fairer and more accessible finance for generations to come?
How can mutuals develop their product offering to satisfy the growing appetite for digital-first services. How can they bring on board the right digital expertise and leverage technology to make innovation work for staff and customers in an increasingly competitive fintech marketplace?
Mutuals are at the heart of their communities. Whether you’re constructing your dream home in Germany, borrowing to cover school uniform costs in Scotland or insuring your car in Sweden, the co-operative finance model is here to stay. What are some of the hallmarks of mutual organisations and what do they have to teach the rest of the financial services world?

Innovation often looks to the next generation, and much of Gen Z is now mature enough to start driving behaviours and usage of technology – with the rest of society following. Is this an entertainment space for youngsters or will this be an important channel for the delivery of financial services that can’t be missed? Who is ahead of the game and can established providers create a forward-looking strategy to capture the opportunity? Here, we’ll look at:

Find out what to expect from the next two days.
Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead, VC Innovations
As momentum behind ID wallets continues to grow, is digital identity about to hit the mainstream? Wallets could allow users to securely store smart, reusable credentials, for convenient access to services. Which initiatives are underway to drive interoperability at a national and international level? What considerations must be made to ensure wallets work for relying parties, while protecting personal data? Will accessibility drive widespread adoption?
Science fiction author William Gibson famously said that the future is already here, it’s just not very evenly distributed. If digital identity systems are to work for everyone, there are a wide range of usability and accessibility needs that must be accounted for. What practical steps can organisations take to address exclusion at each stage of product development? How do we mitigate bias, both conscious and unconscious, from identity solutions?
Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee!
As the saying goes, ‘start as you mean to go on.’ Verifying the identity of new customers has become a critical step in any business’s financial crime strategy. Once a fraudster has created an account with a synthetic identity, the door to re-authentication is left wide open. How can businesses leverage new technologies to strengthen the onboarding process against evolving threats, thwarting bots and fraudsters before damage is done?
As quickly as businesses have embraced digital to engage with their customers, bad actors have used credential stuffing, account takeover, and other types of attacks to take advantage. Keeping pace with an evolving threat landscape requires innovative approaches to optimising both security and convenience. But how do businesses avoid creating internal friction and slowing innovation through multiple integrations? Can a drag-and-drop approach to identity bring together all the tools businesses need to rapidly build, test and optimize customer journeys?
Máté Barany, Enterprise Account Executive, Ping Identity
Technology alone will not solve digital identity. The resulting ecosystem will be shaped by the standards, regulations and policies governing identity systems. How can government and industry collaborate to drive trust and interoperability? What impact will data privacy, AML and KYC regulations have? What rights do individuals have to assert, alter and control their identity and how will this change as we determine a path forward for digital ID?

Introduction to the sessions coming up this afternoon.
Laura Camplisson, Future Identity Portfolio Lead, VC Innovations
The percentage of transactions carried out online has skyrocketed in recent years. The e-commerce sector has become a top target for fraudsters to commit account takeover, card fraud and phising attacks. How are online retailers evolving their approach to identity and age verification? How can automation and new authentication measures be leveraged to combat fraud, meet regulations and create seamless omnichannel experiences?
The future of employment and hiring is a fascinating emerging use case for digital identity. Can digital ID help to streamline right to work checks and secure businesses and employees against fraud? How can innovative identity solutions support a seamless employee onboarding journey from prospective talent, through to new hire? How will digital employee credentials be leveraged for authentication and access use cases throughout the employee journey.
Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee (…or a famous festival craft beer!) before the final sessions of the day.
Social media has revolutionised how we interact with companies and individuals online. Providing a platform for e-commerce, entertainment, and instant connection, social media sites are now used by more than 4 billion people worldwide. As the dangers of fraud, identity theft, trolling and grooming intensify, should more be done to verify the real identities of online users? How do we govern data privacy, security, and liability in a limitless online world?
As the metaverse and web 3.0 pick-up pace, a new vision of the internet is emerging which could soon see us consuming data and experiencing online spaces very differently. How will users trust the identities of virtual personas they interact with? How will NFTs and digital assets be protected against fraud? Does creating an environment where users can interact safely, securely and privately, mean building the future internet on digital identity?

Open finance is what open banking wants to be when it grows up. It explicitly collects the
entirety of a person’s financial data, accessed securely and with their permission and is also a
decidedly customer-centric worldview. But what does this mean in practice?
• How can open finance help marginalised communities?
• Financial inclusion: fairer finances for all?
• Overcoming the remaining vagueness to advance towards Open Data

the impact of open payments on everyday transactions — helping demonstrate its potential
to fundamentally change how we purchase goods and services.

experiences. This realisation differentiates open finance when compared to other industry
evolutions and drives its potential. This development is significantly interconnected with other
key themes that will likely continue to shape the success of wealth managers globally. But

• Hyper personalisation
• Intergenerational wealth transfer
• Reducing the barriers of entry for new non-traditional players

Businesses need to consider whether they can build the technological capability in-house or
look at the option to buy from external suppliers. Taking all of this into account, there are
some key things to consider when looking at open banking for your business:
• Complexity of open system building
• Regulation and the step change
• Consumer-driven
• The cost

How are public and private sector organisations collaborating to develop standards and trust frameworks? How can we build bridges across systems and sectors, to break down data siloes and empower individuals with greater control over their identities? Will we see financial institutions take a leading role in delivering digital identity beyond the financial sector?
Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee!
Identity was once seen as purely a security and compliance driven process. As businesses become increasingly customer-centric, the significance of identity as a customer experience differentiator has become clear. How can digital identity optimise speed and ease-of use, and enhance consumer trust in security and data privacy? Do identity processes have a role to play in fostering personalisation and brand-loyalty?
The number of data points created about every one of us, every day, is mindblowing. There is an urgent need to ensure personally identifiable and sensitive information is only collected and shared with meaningful consent. How can we reconcile digital identity with privacy to build user trust? When designing and implementing identity solutions how can businesses be sure to consider the long-term privacy implications? Can we build digital identity which allows users greater control over their data?

Across the healthcare sector, siloed records, outdated manual processes and rising fraud, can leave practicians and patients feeling out of control of their identity data. The pandemic has further highlighted the need for digital ID, to enable services to be accessed remotely. How can new technologies be leveraged to solve these challenges? Does self-sovereign identity, offer the potential to improve user privacy and control?

How can digital identity be leveraged to protect vulnerable players and prevent underage gambling?
Time for a quick break! Grab a tea or coffee (…or a famous festival craft beer!) before the final sessions of the day.
Fraudsters, scammers and organised criminals are constantly refining the tactics used to bypass identity security systems.

Beyond technology, what more can be done to prevent customer from falling victim to scams?
Blockchain has the potential to revolutionise the anatomy of the global economy and address many of the challenges we face today with identity management. With several concepts and ideas already being piloted, what are the most promising real-world use cases for identity on the blockchain? Could distributed ledger technology offer solutions to challenges around privacy, identity theft and siloed data? Which technical and legal considerations are limiting progress?

The UK’s Open Banking ecosystem is growing quickly: at a rate of roughly one million new
users every six months, according to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE). One of
the biggest problems afflicting the industry, is the backlog of mortgage applications swelled by
the extension to the Help to Buy scheme, and by the Stamp Duty holiday, making this sector a
huge growth potential:
• Fast, accurate data transfer and analysis to inform lender decisions
• Improving awareness and understanding of open banking
• Meeting the changing needs of the market

way to provide advice and guidance to engage and provide individual support to investors on

checks, and risk-based recommendations which go past generic groupings or risk levels to:
• Power financial engagement
• Help to democratise wealth engagement
• Streamline and digitise processes

Open finance is a unique business opportunity, but it takes work to take advantage of it.
Businesses need to get on the fast track to a future powered by constant innovation. Although
there are benefits, there are also many challenges as institutions start to utilise open finance.
When launching new products in areas that may be more ambiguous, the commercial
elements can become more challenging. This is because it is often more difficult to validate a
product in a new area when you’re trying to launch an innovative solution.
