Digital assets, sustainable finance, and fintech-native competitors are redefining the financial services landscape while regulation and capital adequacy rules continue to evolve. Revenues in the fintech industry are projected to grow nearly 15% annually through 2028, three times faster than traditional banking, underscoring the pace of change.

In this new context, the leaders who combine rigorous risk discipline with bold capital allocation, harness data and AI as performance accelerators, and build organizations that adapt at speed will create enduring value for their organizations, and set the agenda for the industry.
