Banking in 2025: The Rapid Changes You Can’t Ignore
The banking industry has always evolved, but the speed of change today is unprecedented. Economic realities, regulatory initiatives, and technological advancements are reshaping the landscape at a pace we haven’t seen before.
So what does this mean for financial institutions?
According to Neil Stanley, a seasoned banking leader, the institutions that thrive in 2025 will be those that recognize the shifting landscape and take proactive steps to stay relevant. That’s why BankersHub is hosting a live webinar on March 27, where Neil will break down the key issues shaping banking this year and beyond.
📅 Webinar: Key Issues Shaping Banking in 2025
🗓️ Date: March 27, 2025
⏰ Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET
🎤 Speaker: Neil Stanley
The Biggest Issue in Banking Right Now: The Pace of Change
When asked to summarize the biggest challenge for financial institutions in 2025, Neil’s response was clear:
"The pace of change in banking has increased at an increasing rate. Everything we do in this industry has intensified, forcing leaders to ask, ‘How do we stay relevant?’"
It’s no longer just about compliance, profitability, or managing risk—it’s about keeping up. In this webinar, Neil will discuss how banks can position themselves to succeed in a rapidly evolving environment.
What Banks Get Wrong About Compliance and Risk
Many financial institutions take a “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” approach to compliance and risk management. But Neil cautions that the strategies that worked in the past may no longer be effective in today’s banking landscape:
"We tend to think that we can keep doing what has worked before, but with today’s shifting regulatory environment, that mindset may not take us through the coming years effectively."
During the webinar, Neil will break down the key regulatory shifts banks should be paying attention to in 2025 and provide a decision-making framework for evaluating new compliance strategies.
How Banking Leaders Should Be Thinking About 2025
One of the biggest takeaways Neil hopes attendees leave with is a proven decision-making framework that every bank leader should be using to assess change:
"Early in my career, I learned four key questions that financial institutions must ask:
🔹 What do we need to keep?
🔹 What do we need to quit?
🔹 What do we need to start?
🔹 What do we need to do better?"
This framework will be a major focus of the webinar, helping executives evaluate risk, profitability, and strategic growth opportunities in 2025.
The Biggest Risk for Banks That Fail to Adapt
The institutions that don’t take proactive steps to evolve in 2025 will face significant challenges, with some banks falling behind in profitability and competitiveness.
"For those who fail to adapt, the phrase acquire or be acquired will likely ring true. We are seeing clear winners and losers in banking, and institutions that do not take decisive action will struggle to survive."
This is why bank executives, compliance leaders, and risk management teams should attend this webinar—to get ahead of these industry shifts before it’s too late.
