The summit chairman, Mr. Bucheery said, ‘’ The Gulf Council Countries (GCC) banking sector iswitnessing a remarkable transformation as well as the rising demand by its young and technology- savvy population for a better digital banking experience. With intense competition among banks within the GCC, digital banking will enhance customer life time value through better customer insights, leading to enhanced life time value and retention.

Mr. Bucheery added, ‘The Electronic Payments and Internet Banking summit is a real opportunity todiscuss strategies, policies and mechanisms and then devise practical proposals and solutions to develop the business environment and make it an attractive environment for internal and external investments. Digital payments continue to close the gap on cash across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) which has some of the highest mobile penetration rates in the world but is yet to embrace mobile payments. Governments are easing banking regulations to attract a wider client base that may not typically use banking services.
