The trends that will define the next chapter of GCC banking — and how leaders must respond.
As banks across the GCC accelerate digital transformation, 2026 will be the year when strategy is no longer measured by roadmaps, but by real business outcomes.
In this edition of the Fimple Connects Webinar Series, senior banking and fintech leaders come together to explore the forces that will most materially shape the region’s financial services landscape; from AI-ready architectures and real-time payments to platform-driven ecosystems and partnership-led growth.
This session is designed for executives who want clarity on where to invest, how to prioritize, and how to ensure transformation spend delivers measurable ROI.
