August 12: Technology
Presenters: Ruth Razook, CEO, RLR Management
Consulting
START TIME: 10 AM Pacific Time
Register online
Most of the time, one of the last things that new banks want to think about (or spend money on) is technology. Why not just stay with what you know and what you had before? Because, that is not necessarily what is good for your NEW bank (could have been for the OLD bank), but not a guarantee for this time around. Believe it or not, besides human capital, technology should be the next most costly area of the bank's non-interest expense. We will discuss how de novo banks should approach, plan and implement technology for your Bank.
