Expect an insightful conversation on how this landscape operates and how these institutions interact, with a deep dive into:
- The business model of a bank: where banks like KBC, BNP Paribas Fortis and Revolut really make their money.
- Monetary policy transmission: how a rate decision in Frankfurt reaches your savings account.
- Ownership and supervision: how do you supervise a neobank with 75 million customers across thirty countries?
