On Thursday 17 June 2025, APS Bank Directors and Senior Management came together for a full-day Offsite event, setting in motion the 2026–2028 Business Planning process. The workshop focused on identifying strategic growth areas, leveraging data and AI, and strengthening the Bank’s positioning in a fast-evolving financial landscape.
The event included presentations from Alvarez & Marsal on megatrends shaping the banking industry, growth strategies, integrated customer propositions, and data-led insights for increasing share of wallet. Cross-selling tactics in financial services were further covered by career private banker Alex Dean while Dr Gege Gatt of EBO spoke on the transformative power of AI. Various subject matter experts from across the Bank’s business and service lines also contributed with their presentations and at panel discussions.
Commenting about the event, CEO Marcel Cassar said: “As we roll forward to our next 3-year planning cycle, we are reimagining growth, reminding ourselves that it is not defined by a single transaction but by thinking both organically and inorganically, driving for operational excellence, investing in innovation, digital transformation and delivering the best customer experience. In other words, by continuously creating value for all our stakeholders.”
