CLOSING KEYNOTE

Forget the bank. Welcome to the store.

Just as people no longer shop or dine out the way they used to, people are banking in whole new ways. Online and mobile avenues have had tremendous impact on the banking industry and consumers now expect 24/7 access to service and advice. The bank branch of the future must adjust to meet these new demands. RBC’s latest bank branches take their cues from retail stores with an open concept that incorporates digital experiences and moves the employees from behind the counter to the floor where they can interact and assist customers. More than an interior design project, RBC transformed the overall client and employee experience. Alan Depencier, VP of Marketing, will share RBC’s omni-channel journey to present the customer with a consistent experience that brings its “advice” brand value proposition to life.
