BACKGROUND

The Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) sector produces Location data on regular basis. This includes data on customers’ demographic, movement, and transaction patterns. With proper data and customer relationship management, financial institutions can extract insights from those data to bring more value to the ecosystem – either by mitigating risks, making informed decisions or enriching customer experiences. With financial services becoming more available than ever, and with greater customer accessibility; Location Intelligence is the key in understanding the full context of each consumer and enterprise decision for the BFSI sector to become both market-driven and market-responsive.

Agenda

4th May
0930 - 0945 Introductory

0945 - 1120 Monetizing Location Data for Business Growth

By leveraging location data, BFSI companies can make more informed business decisions, better assess risk, and stay ahead of the competition, ultimately leading to increased revenue and profitability. By providing insights into customer behaviour, enabling personalized marketing, detecting fraud, improving customer engagement, and providing market intelligence and many more.
