Ganado Advocates, in collaboration with the Malta Bankers’ Association, will be organising its annual banking and finance law seminar on March 14 at the Hilton Hotel, St Julian’s, from 1.30 to 5.45pm.

This year’s seminar will feature Nikki Johnstone, from the London office of the international law-firm Allen & Overy LLP, who will be delivering a presentation on Fintech and the banking sector, with particular emphasis on EU innovations in payments, open banking and security.

Frederick Mifsud Bonnici, chairman of APS Bank Limited, will discuss practical tips for non-executive directors sitting on boards of banks.  The speakers will also include Catherine Formosa, a senior member of the firm’s banking team, who will address the proposed new outsourcing regime for banks and payment institutions and George Bugeja, a recent PhD graduate from King’s College London, who will analyse the EU package of measures to tackle non-performing loan ratios.

Conrad Portanier, head of banking at Ganado Advocates, said: “Now a regular feature of the banking and payments industry, this seminar aims to assist lawyers, directors and senior officers of our clients and correspondents to remain abreast of the latest legal and regulatory topics impacting their sectors.  We are glad that it has now become an annual calendar event in the industry.”

KYC portal to demo at Finovate

Aqubix launched their latest add-on to KYC portal, the customer outreach tool, at Finovate 2019 in London recently.  For the second time, KYC portal was among one of the 65 fintech solutions chosen to participate in the famed ‘7 minute demo’ slots.

The new customer outreach tool that was launched in the seven-minute demo, a new add-on to the KYC portal, allows clients to give direct access to the customer to on-board themselves. The tool was born out of multiple requests from clients who are already using KYC portal daily.

For more than 10 years, Finovate has attracted the best and brightest both on stage and in the audience and, being the only event focused entirely on the newest innovations in financial and banking technology, attracts a targeted and powerful audience, by mixing fast-paced product demos (no slides or videos allowed), with high-quality networking to deliver a potent blend of value.
