While the New Zealand financial services industry continues to maintain its position of relative strength compared to many other developed economies, the risk and pace of change is relentless.

Widespread regulatory change and scrutiny mean financial services institutions must now wrestle with capital management, increasing operational business risks and shifting community expectations — all while meeting greater demands for transparency and customer centricity.

What’s more, the way people now engage with financial services has forever changed due to the rise of digital, mobile platforms, social media, block chain and demographic shifts – meaning customers expect information at their fingertips, along with the ability to access bank accounts, shares and super funds on their personal devices.
