The 50th Jubilee Conference of the Banking Association for Central and Eastern Europe (BACEE) is taking place in Vienna on October 20 and 21, and Converse Bank is the Diamond Sponsor of the conference.

“It is an honor for Converse Bank to be the Diamond Sponsor of the BACEE Jubilee Conference. We believe that in today’s interconnected world, platforms like this are not only important for exchanging professional experience but also for building long term, mutually beneficial partnerships, especially in fast evolving markets like ours,” said Grant Akopian, the Chief Financial Officer and Deputy CEO of Converse Bank, as well as a member of BACEE’s Board of Directors.

The conference brings together global leaders in banking and finance to explore key themes such as the sector’s digital transformation, the integration of AI in banking, compliance and AML, evolving development trends, core risks which financial systems face, and regional strategies for effective risk mitigation. 

There will also be a spotlight on new business opportunities emerging across BACEE member countries, including Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, the Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Converse Bank is represented by its CEO, Andranik Grigoryan, and CFO, Grant Akopian, both of whom are participating as keynote speakers.

“Converse Bank is more than just a financial institution. We see ourselves as a bridge – a bridge connecting our clients to opportunity, and connecting the Armenian economy to the world. This conference is a bridge for knowledge and collaboration. It aligns perfectly with our own mission: to be the resilient, reliable financial partner that helps our clients and our nation not just manage growth, but to master it,” noted Grant Akopian.

Converse Bank is regulated by Central Bank of Armenia.
