Saint Lucia, Monday February 3rd, 2020: The recognised voice of the region’s banking and financial services sector will be heard at gatherings in Cuba and Trinidad and Tobago this week. Ms. Wendy Delmar, Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Association of Banks (CAB) Inc., will be delivering presentations at the CANTO annual general meeting in Havana, and the ACAMS AML Symposium in Port of Spain.

 

Ms. Delmar will be addressing the CANTO AGM on Tuesday morning on the subject, “Common Trends for Banks and Telcos – Blockchain and Cybersecurity.” Cybersecurity is a growing concern for the banking sector globally, and billions are being spent to seek new solutions. Digital security incident response and recovery cost banking entities in Latin America and the Caribbean approximately US$809 million in 2017 alone.

CANTO is the leading authority in shaping information, communication, and technology in the Caribbean Region and the Americas. Their AGM runs 2-4 February.
