Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Banking Seminar 2026. Here's a reflection from the seminar's host Esmerelda Oberholzer
"The ASSA Banking Seminar 2026, hosted at FirstRand, brought together actuaries, banking professionals, regulators and industry leaders for a day of insightful discussions on the future of banking and the evolving role of the actuarial profession. Across all presentations, a common theme emerged: the banking landscape is changing rapidly, driven by technological innovation, regulatory transformation, changing customer expectations and increasing complexity in risk management. As these changes accelerate, actuaries are increasingly being called upon to combine technical excellence with strategic thinking, adaptability and leadership."
