North America's financial system is undergoing rapid transformation as trade, supply chains, and digital commerce increasingly move across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. For banks and their corporate clients, modernizing cross-border payments and treasury infrastructure is no longer optional – it's a strategic imperative.
In this American Banker LEADERS episode, John Hunter, Managing Director of U.S. Global Transaction Banking at Scotiabank, explores what modernization really looks like in a North American context – where businesses operate across borders every day and expect real-time visibility, seamless flow, and resilient infrastructure.
John will share how Scotiabank is approaching U.S. Cash Management expansion with a deliberate, client-first strategy, and how banks can evolve their platforms and partnerships to meet rising expectations for speed, integration, and data.
Topics discussed will include:
- How regional connectivity and modernization can help enable seamless and data-driven financial operations and create a competitive edge.
- How modernization – APIs, real-time rails, and data-rich payments – reduces friction and improves decision making
- Why executives increasingly expect real-time visibility into cash, payments, FX, liquidity and risk across borders
- How executives balance the pursuit of new opportunities with managing the inherent risk of managing regulatory compliance, sanctions screening, fraud/AML and data privacy.
