Realizing the digital promise

Key enablers for digital transformation in financial services

A paper from the Institute of International Finance and Deloitte

For financial institutions (FIs), digital transformation is essential to future-proofing the business and improving customer experience, employee capabilities, operational efficiency, and business economics. This point is particularly relevant in light of the COVID-19 crisis and the ability of FIs to respond.

The Institute of International Finance (IIF) and Deloitte have joined together to explore this question. We have gathered insights from more than 80 executives and transformation leaders, from across banks, insurers, regulators and supervisors, and policy makers around the world to explore the keys to digital transformation.

We have identified the following five themes:
