19 September 2016, Mumbai
– Standard Chartered Bank India announced the winners of the ‘Banking
for the Future’ contest that was aimed at driving the youth to develop
innovative ideas to digitise the banking industry. The basic concept was
to crowd-source innovative ideas on how digital technologies can be
leveraged to transform the financial sector.
Students
from NITIE, a premier B-school in Mumbai participated in the contest
and over 130 noteworthy projects were received from the teams. Out of
these, 12 finalists were chosen on the basis of their innovative
approach, clarity of thought and feasibility.
The
‘Banking for the Future’ contest kick-started with teams submitting
proposals focused on ways to make banking more seamless and convenient
for customers. The brief was to develop smart solutions which would not
only improve customer service, but also minimise risk and increase
efficiency. During the course of the contest, banking trends like
biometrics, artificial intelligence and cardless transactions were also
analysed.
The
top four teams were awarded by Dr. Michael Gorriz, Group Chief
Information Officer and Mr. Zuzar Tinwalla, India Chief Information
Officer, Standard Chartered Bank, at an event which was held recently at
the Bank’s corporate office in Mumbai.
