2021: The second wave of Fintech Disruption: Trends to watch out

FinTech Research Global & Future of FinTech

Keynote: why are Innovations critical for Banks & Insurances? A perspective on the Financial Services industry: the amount of changes will only accelerate. - Exponential technologies are driving change; convergence of several disciplines from software to devices to biotech - Our expectations as consumers are set by our online experience from services such as Facebook, Google or Amazon - Disruption pattern: startups put themselves in-between the customer and the company (i.e. check24) - Industry changes leading to further FinTech & InsureTech investments - Margin pressure: banks & insurrance by the lowest interest rates we have seen in 2.000 years - User Experience is driving value in a new way – and most startups understand customer-centricity - Banks & Insurance companies are under pressure because their offering is fundamentally undifferentiated - Regulators are opening up: i.e. PSD II forces the banks to open up their data; full disclosure of insurance commissions will arrive soon - Customers don’t want to be ‘told’ anymore: they don’t come to branches anymore - buy how can advice as the key point of sales be digitized? Banks need to build up digital capabilities based on 5 pillars plus 1 enabling capability: (1) DATA-DRIVEN DIGITAL INSIGHTS - Data-driven segmentation & Value Proposition Design - 360° single customer view - Customer Experience excellence - Comprehensive data ecosystem, including 3rd party APIs (2) CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EXCELLENCE - Customer-centric experience design & processes - Omni-channel experience delivery - Journey consistent front-to-back, end2end - Clear brand positioning & brand amplified by a purpose (3) DIGITAL MARKETING - Data-driven, real-time segmentation & cohort analysis - Data-driven customer- life-cycle management - Targeted digital (performance) marketing (4) DIGITALLY ENABLED OPERATIONS - Operations are designed to support customer journeys - Streamlined and automated fulfillment processes - Digitized sales and service interactions (5) SMART TECHNOLOGY SETUP - Scalable application architecture - Flexible IT architecture (i.e. SOA) with clear messaging - Flexible IT infrastructure (6) DIGITAL ENABLERS - Digital Talent Management - Value-driven Organisation & governance - Test-and-learn culture We feel honoured McKinsey copied this model in the following article: Cutting through the noise around financial technology, Feb 2016: http://bit.ly/1Rtz0AF

Just before the COVID 19 lockdowns started, the Indian FinTech ecosystem toped their Chinese counterparts in fetching funding first time in history. As the pandemic gripped the economy, the FinTech companies are now at a product launch spree from health insurance to affordable loans for consumers and MSMEs. Increase digital adoption is causing rapid growth for the sector. For example, as offline channels for financial services got restricted by the lockdowns and fear of infection, InsurTech and Online Brokerages are becoming the primary channel for the distribution of financial products. But, all is not hunky-dory. The looming recession is expected to take a toll on some sub-sectors. For example, Alternative Lending companies especially involved in Retail Lending may face a tough test for their business models and algorithms used by them as many of them may start to face increased defaults. Let us look into the details.

In recent years, numerous personal financial management (PFM) tools have emerged online. These tools give consumers a detailed view of their finances, allowing them to effectively budget and manage their money. Many of the PFMs offer both easy-to-use online interfaces and mobile apps to manage finances on-the-go. This slide deck analyzes two of the major players in the PFM space: Manilla and Mint. While different in terms of functionality and purpose, both PFMs offer user-friendly websites and apps that are popular with consumers and continue to grow.

The realization that digital Customer Experience is highly relevant for the success of a company has now reached even the most conservative industries. Nevertheless, CX is often equated with "looking nicely" and the attractive design of products. In times of crisis, this rather meagre understanding of customer experience can quickly lead to improvements in this area being postponed as non-essential. Yet in a situation where customers depend on digital interactions, they are more important than ever.

Think about Google if it were only collecting a lot of data but never used or shared that data with anyone. That is how the traditional financial service companies are - they have enormous amounts of data but rarely use that data for any tangible purpose. Dormant data with the financial service providers can be used to not only create new applications but revolutionize credit markets, personal finance, business finance, wealth management, etc. in ways we cannot even totally envisage now. Open Banking is a practice where banks provide access to consumer data to non-affiliated third parties generally through Application Programming Interfaces or APIs. Open Banking in the coming years is expected to lead a paradigm shift in Banking and Finance. During the pandemic, the demand side of the equation for Open Banking is rapidly developing with growth in fintech markets and the adoption of digital channels by the consumers. Both banks and tech companies have immense incentives to grab this opportunity and quickly tap the growth in digital markets and channels. Concerns about data security, compliance with privacy laws, and regulatory uncertainties are acting as impediments to the growth of Open Banking. Banks need to act quickly to leverage data to increase their reach and role. Traditional banking is rapidly getting commoditized and banks need to add data-driven value-added services in their portfolio to remain relevant. Value-added services such as personal financial planning, the alternative credit assessment, and real-time payments can not only create new revenue sources for the banks but provide strategic moats in the competitive landscape. Banks can achieve this through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In-house development is difficult given the cultural shift needed in the banking sector may take time. Apart from that, the IT in the banking sector is generally focussed on regulatory requirements and not data-driven, customer-focused as required for Open Banking initiatives. Policy uncertainty can severely hamper the growth of Open Banking. Policymakers need to balance caution on security-privacy matters but at the same time clear policy confusion to allow the sector to grow. As per the Akamai report, “2020 State of the Internet / Security: Financial Services – Hostile Takeover Attempts”, cyber attackers are increasingly targeting API endpoints of financial services. As per a Gartner report, by 2021, APIs will account for 90% of the attack surface. By 2022, according to Gartner, API abuses will become the most-frequent attack vector. This is a cause of concern for the Banks contemplating opening up data access using APIs.

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings? In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions. “We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact. One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime. The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!” This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022. You’ll come away with: a clear understanding of how the human brain works. a framework that: explains ‘why people behave as they do’. makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set) new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder. Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology. However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button. Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt. Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering: What do I need to know about AI right now? If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful? Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare? Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
