Overview
Over the past 18 months, financial services firms across Asia Pacific have accelerated their cloud-first transformation journeys, created flexible working conditions for their employees, and launched innovative digital services.
Even then, the financial services landscape in the region remains in a state of flux. Consumers have massively transitioned to digital services, and heightened their expectations for hybrid experiences. As regulators enable consumers to have more control of their data, consumers will increasingly dictate where and how they engage with brands as well as where the traditional firms and their digital-only competitors fit in their own ecosystems.
For financial services firms, continued success in this dynamic period depends on how adaptive and creative they can be. The leaders will focus on building customer trust; better understand the financial well-being goals of their customers; enable personalised services that cut across product lines; monetise new ecosystems and platform business models; and scale their experiments to leverage emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain.
Join Forrester’s leading analysts as we share the latest insights to help you and your organisation navigate the dynamic markets, and how you can make your customers the North Star of your transformation.

Build A More Relevant Segmentation Model To Improve The Financial Well-Being Of Your Customers
Financial services firms want to support their customers’ financial well-being, yet they often miss the tools to understand their customers’ financial resilience and mindset. This session presents the four financial well-being segments. Financial services executives can map their firm’s own customers to the four profiles and thus gain insight into their financial attitudes, behaviors, and interest in or use of specific personal financial management tools, services, or advice.
Join this session to learn how to better segment your customers to deliver more relevant financial experiences and identify which products and services you need to offer to best meet the needs of each segment in APAC.

Define Your Martech Reference Architecture To Enable Personalized Customer Experiences
As financial services firms shift from selling products to promoting the long-term financial well-being of their customers, their marketing technology (martech) investments must evolve. But martech ecosystems within financial services are more complex than those within other vertical sectors. Successful firms understand the value — and risks — of comprehensive personalization that aligns technology with defined business outcomes to deliver optimal customer experiences.
This session presents Forrester’s martech reference model, which provides a common taxonomy for marketers and their technology cohorts. Join this session to learn how to evaluate martech tools based on their ability to deliver customer value.

How To Reinvent Lending
The lending landscape is changing rapidly. While many of the drivers of change emerged over the past decade, COVID-19 has dramatically accelerated the pace of disruption. COVID-19 introduced massive business and operational challenges, turning lending risk assessment and management on its head. Borrowers’ expectations — applying for loans easily and quickly on digital touchpoints — have increased, but many lenders don’t meet borrowers’ urgent demand for credit due to antiquated systems and processes. Join this session to understand:
- How APAC consumers and small businesses are researching and purchasing loans
- The process, cultural and technological gaps that exist in the lending value chain
- What your firm must do to transform lending
