MoraBanc organized its inaugural banking hackathon in Andorra la Vella, where multidisciplinary teams developed innovative solutions for client onboarding, AI-driven operations, customer attraction, and financial literacy. Pitches impressed the executive committee.

Key Points

  • 50 students and early-career pros teamed up on AI, onboarding, customer retention, and financial literacy challenges.
  • Mentored by MoraBanc staff, groups pitched ideas to execs including Xavier Riestra, Gerard Albà, and Wiro Martin.
  • Event part of 40-year Talent Experience program linking university studies to banking internships.

Around 50 young people participated in MoraBanc's first banking hackathon, a fresh component of the bank's established Talent Experience programme.

The gathering in Andorra la Vella brought together students and early-career professionals for a day of teamwork on practical banking issues. In multidisciplinary groups, with guidance from MoraBanc staff acting as mentors, they crafted proposals addressing strategic priorities. These included enhancing onboarding for clients and employees, using artificial intelligence to streamline operations and raise productivity, fresh approaches to drawing in and keeping customers, and efforts to advance financial literacy.

Teams wrapped up by presenting their work to MoraBanc's Executive Committee, represented by Xavier Riestra, director of Andorra business; Gerard Albà, corporate director of strategy, transformation and innovation; and Wiro Martin, director of marketing and communications.

The hackathon ties into the annual MoraBanc Talent Experience summer internship initiative, active for over 40 years. It gives Andorran youth a chance to blend university studies with practical roles suited to their fields, while gaining a close look at financial operations.

MoraBanc views the programme as a key way to spot and hire promising talent. Several past participants have since joined the bank's staff, reinforcing its focus on building career paths for the country's young professionals.
