A stagnant customer base increased pressure on profitability, while banks were forced to prioritise cost-rationalisation and fast-track digitisation, to cope with the Covid-19, over customer expectation.

To deliver the quality of experience that consumers now expect and remain the trusted financial partner of their clients vs. new Tech players, banks are looking toward the wide ecosystem of startups and are partnering with technology providers to bring innovative products and propositions forward. Additionally, given the complexity of creating an environment where banks’ solutions can be scaled successfully, evolution to open Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms are crucial for bringing solutions to market.

While banks recognise that data is the lifeblood not only for regulation and compliance concerns but to leverage innovation, their success in capitalising on the data driven solutions BaaS can offer has been mixed. With experiential banking and hyper personalisation emerging as essential tools for the journey back to profitability, institutions should be better equipped to provide clients holistic engagement.
