Bankers Healthcare Group, Flagstar Bank and Professional Bank Executives Join Vouched CEO John Baird to Discuss how Digital Transformation Solves KYC Delays and Wins Customers

On Wednesday, June 23, Banking Exchange, a leading online resource for banking professionals, will bring together executives from Bankers Healthcare Group, Professional Bank and Flagstar Bank, as well as leading AI identity verification company Vouched, to discuss how digital transformation is critical to the future of banking and customer service.

Even before the pandemic, numerous studies cited the decline in bank branches. A study by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) estimated 13,000 bank branches closed between 2008 and 2020*. Today’s most innovative banks are being rewarded by charting a new, digital path to provide a better customer experience while increasing security, meeting KYC compliance requirements, and entering new markets.

“At Banking Exchange, it’s easy to see the value digital-first tools are bringing our banking leaders,” said Banking Exchange Publisher Erik Vander Kolk. “We look forward to an engaging discussion around how the banking industry can foster innovation to create new ways to tackle some of the more complex KYC issues and enable banks to be more competitive in new markets and with new and existing customers.”

Webinar participants include:

• Tyler Crawford, Bankers Healthcare Group, Chief Operating Officer
• Anand Sathiyamurthy, Flagstar Bank, Chief Product Officer
• Daniel Sheehan, Professional Bank, Chairman and CEO
• John Baird, Vouched, Co-founder and CEO

The webinar, titled “From KYC to IDV: How Three Leading Banks are Utilizing Cutting-Edge Digital Tools to Onboard, Win and Wow Customers,” will be at 11:00 a.m. ET, Wednesday, June 23. To register, click here.
