Cecabank Report 2018

About Cecabank

Within the scope of innovation, Cecabank has led, together with another

eight financial institutions, the creation of Niuron, the first blockchain

financial consortium in Spain, where blockchain technology is being

developed to meet banking uses. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

was developed by December 2018, that is, a platform with minimum

functionality aimed at entering into actual production with 6 entities.

To discuss this and other topics, the event

“Blockchain: from theory

to practice”

, organised by El Confidencial and sponsored by Cecabank,

Metrovacesa, Everis, JLL, Business school and Finweg, was held at

Cecabank’s Asssmebly Hall in October.

One more year, Cecabank has supported the

Spain Investors Day

, the

reference financial forum in Spain

, in which the major international

investors can learn about the current situation of the main companies listed

in our country.

The event

Iberian Value

was held at the Mutua Madrileña Foundation’s

Auditorium in April. It was attended by investors and managers whose

investment philosophy is based on discovering long-term value. El

Confidencial and Finect, with Cecabank’s support, created a meeting space at

this event for the people who best represent investments in Spain. The event

attracted approximately twenty renowned Spanish managers, and each of

them delivered a brief presentation in which an investment idea was shared

with the attendees.

Cecabank has also supported the annual event organised by

ISLA

(International Securities Lending Association)

, which is the international

association for securities lending. This event was held in Lisbon under title

27th Annual conference on Securities Finance and Collateral Management.

Within the scope of financial regulation, Cecabank supported the

legal

debate organised by the Funds People magazine

, which consists in a

quarterly meeting where professionals gather to analyse the current

regulation on collective investment.

Furthermore, the first

RegTech Unconference Madrid 2018

took place.

Cecabank, one of the major market leaders in advisory services for financial

regulation and in providing consultancy services, supported and was present

at the event.

In the field of CSR, the

World Food Day

and the

6th Edition of the Great

Food Pickup

were held; the latter is a nationwide charity campaign. During

the presentation, the

Madrid Food Bank Foundation

granted Cecabank the

2018 Award in the Sponsorship category for its collaboration in the various

activities carried out.

With the ambition of becoming a reference space for dialogue that facilitates

a debate between members in our sector and relevant institutions and

strategic actors of current society, Cecabank created

ckb-Talks

in 2018. José

María Lassalle, State Secretary for Information Society and Digital Agenda of

Spain, participated in the first session.
