Inside a Digital Banking Forum: Why Attend and What to Expect

Toni Domingo
Feb 12, 2026

If you work in digital banking or payments, you already know the landscape changes fast. That’s exactly why so many financial institutions are carving out time to attend a Digital Banking Forum. These are regional, community-driven events hosted by Jack Henry™ that bring together experts, visionaries, and the “let’s-figure-this-out-together” crowd.

How a Digital Banking Forum Strengthens Your Digital Front Door Strategy

Every FI today is trying to optimize some version of the same four goals: Attract. Open. Engage. Protect. At a Digital Banking Forum, you’ll see how these goals come together through a modern digital front door, one powered by digital banking solutions on an open banking platform that integrates seamlessly into your ecosystem.

Here’s how each goal is highlighted at the event:

Attract

Your digital front door is often the first impression, and it needs to count. You’ll learn how leading institutions use insight-driven personalization, smart data usage, and intuitive digital experiences to build trust and strong relationships from the very first touch.

Open

You’ll hear how financial institutions are modernizing onboarding workflows to offer a seamless experience across every channel. Think frictionless, secure, mobile-first opening experiences.

Engage

Explore how banks and credit unions are using proactive insights, timely nudges, and connected experiences to keep users active, loyal, and feeling genuinely connected to their financial institution across every digital touchpoint.

Protect

Fraud isn’t slowing down, so neither can we. Sessions focus on real-world fraud detection and mitigation strategies, how to reduce complexity, and protect both your institution and accountholders.

You’ll walk away with ideas you can put into play immediately, plus the bigger strategy behind them.

Why People Attend

Every Digital Banking Forum is designed to give you a forward-looking view of where digital banking is headed. The event explores the latest research, emerging technology trends, and strategic insights shaping the future of digital banking, helping you separate what’s next from what’s noise. Beyond the presentations, you’ll take part in collaborative discussions with peers focused on real-world features and capabilities for both consumer and small business markets, the biggest challenges institutions are facing today, and the opportunities ahead. It’s a chance to learn, share, and collectively problem-solve with people tackling the same issues you are.

Attendees say they come for:

Community

People love getting out of their bubbles to hear what others are trying and what’s actually working.

Practical Takeaways

Sessions are designed to spark real conversation and deliver actionable insights, not just presentation slides.

Vision + Inspiration

Technology is changing fast. The Forum helps attendees see where things are going so they can lead, not follow.

One attendee summed it up perfectly:

“Very informative and insightful. Helped change the way I'm approaching our digital experience. It's also made me excited for the changes coming with AI and Data.”
