If asked one year ago, what would you have said would be the biggest disruption your bank would have to deal with in the coming year? Many of us would have answered with a similar list of potential challenges: Bitcoin, fintech, etc. Not one of us would have come up with a global pandemic. But here we are, 11 months into a pandemic that has changed so much of what we know and what we took for granted.

As impossible as it is to believe, we have been living in a global pandemic for an entire year. What began as a headline from a distant corner of the world quickly became a worldwide health crisis that continues to wreak havoc on our way of life and has, unfortunately, claimed the lives of too many of our fellow citizens.
