Context and Methodology
4
Ø COVID-19 has had an inconceivable impact on all of our lives and is reframing our way of life on a
daily basis. Never before have we seen such a drastic and immediate impact across businesses in
multiple sectors.
Ø Despite government’s committing $ trillions to help enterprises, SME’s and employees, the need for
cash management has never been more important.
Ø We believe that the crisis will accelerate fundamental shifts in how we work and interact in private and
business context.
Ø The crisis is and will even more so result in a revisit of how investors and potential buyers perceive
value in this new normal, with some verticals expected to have a rude awakening, while others
embrace opportunities a crisis or recession might bring along.
Ø Since the start of the crisis we have reflected on how we expect the Disrupting and Enabling Financial
Technology landscape to be impacted in terms of growth, profitability, competitive dynamics, Investor
appetite, valuations and exit routes.
Ø This report is based on surveys with Founders of Disurptibe FinTech as well as AI and IoT companies
selling software to Financials, interviews with Financial Institutions in our network and market research
leveraging public data and proprietary Finch Capital research
Executive Summary
5
Ø Expect crisis mode until Q3 2020, followed by a 12-18-month recovery
Ø Digital-only becomes the new industry norm in financial services, accelerating the current trend§
Ø Shift to digital-only triggers a "Big Pocket" online battle between incumbents and challengers to win
Financial Institutions turn to Tech companies rather than inhouse to accelerate digital transformation
Ø FinTech sector winners:
• Consumer and SME lending platforms: best-adapting mechanism to swiftly and efficiently deliver
capital to key segments of the economy
• Mortgage and life insurance digitalization: leaping forward with technology to disrupt the role of
intermediaries, whose role was often face-to-face
Ø FinTech ‘enablers’ around AI, IoT and software solutions are in high demand:
• AI: bots for call-centers; account-opening procedures; loan automation,
• KYC: increased need for safe digital ID given volume of digital business transacted and robust
solutions required for protection of client assets
Ø Areas under pressure:
• Challenger banks: high valuations, and lower expected activity post-crisis
• Wealth management: client de-risking and lower AUMs impacting bottom line
• Payments/FX: decreased transaction activity affecting commission businesses
Ø Pull-back of corporate VC-led investments in combination with higher hurdles for companies’ access
to funding put pressure on valuations in later-stage rounds
Ø Increased M&A and trade-sales below $250m category of fintech companies, as fewer IPOs
expected. In addition, Banks likely constrained given higher capital preservation requirements
2020 will be challenging for FinTechs to navigate, but prosperous times remain ahead post
crisis where Disruptive winners take it all and demand for AI, Tech and IoT companies that help
financials transform to a digital and Data driven interaction will surge.

Chapter 3 - How to navigate the crisis
24
How to survive in the short term
7-step checklist to navigate through the crisis
phase and reposition well for the new normal
25
1. MANAGING LOSSES WITH SPEED AND ADEQUACY: cut staff costs (be open and
empathic), use force majeure clauses, renegotiate contracts
2. BE REALISTIC ABOUT FUNDRAISING LANDSCAPE: short term little appetite for
new deals as focus is with protecting portfolio (this will change in +- 6 months)
3. USE EQUITY TO REWARD AND INCENTIVIZE STAFF: your remaining staff needs to
be 100% aboard with the mission of the company and needs to overperform §to survive
4. COMMUNICATE OPENLY WITH STAFF: will help to gain support of staff whilst
making tough decisions
5. PUT AS MUCH EFFORT AS YOU CAN IN PRODUCT DEV: now is the time to make
sure you product stands out amongst the crowd
6. MARKETING SPEND: focus only on high ROI channels
7. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT: make us of local rescue packages where you can and
explore opportunities early(find overview here)

The Future of Disruptive and Enabling Financial Technology post CV-19

  • 1. The Future of Disruptive and Enabling Financial Technology post CV-19 ‘’Backing Future Champions in AI, FinTech and IoT’’ 1
  • 2. 2 Finch Capital is a thematic investor in Financial Technology, AI and IoT companies, and has a track-record since 2014 of backing future champions in Europe and South East Asia. Companies include BUX, Brickblock, Digital Insurance Group, Goodlord, Grab, Hiber, Twisto and Trussle.

For more information see www.finchcapital.com
  • 3. Contents 3 1 Context, Methodology and Executive Summary 2 CV - 19 impact on Financial Technology 3 A post CV-19 crisis perspective on key FinTech and FinTech enabling sectors 4 How to survive in the short term 4 6 19 24
  • 4. Context and Methodology 4 Ø COVID-19 has had an inconceivable impact on all of our lives and is reframing our way of life on a daily basis. Never before have we seen such a drastic and immediate impact across businesses in multiple sectors. Ø Despite government’s committing $ trillions to help enterprises, SME’s and employees, the need for cash management has never been more important. Ø We believe that the crisis will accelerate fundamental shifts in how we work and interact in private and business context. Ø The crisis is and will even more so result in a revisit of how investors and potential buyers perceive value in this new normal, with some verticals expected to have a rude awakening, while others embrace opportunities a crisis or recession might bring along. Ø Since the start of the crisis we have reflected on how we expect the Disrupting and Enabling Financial Technology landscape to be impacted in terms of growth, profitability, competitive dynamics, Investor appetite, valuations and exit routes. Ø This report is based on surveys with Founders of Disurptibe FinTech as well as AI and IoT companies selling software to Financials, interviews with Financial Institutions in our network and market research leveraging public data and proprietary Finch Capital research
  • 5. Executive Summary 5 Ø Expect crisis mode until Q3 2020, followed by a 12-18-month recovery Ø Digital-only becomes the new industry norm in financial services, accelerating the current trend§ Ø Shift to digital-only triggers a "Big Pocket" online battle between incumbents and challengers to win Financial Institutions turn to Tech companies rather than inhouse to accelerate digital transformation Ø FinTech sector winners: • Consumer and SME lending platforms: best-adapting mechanism to swiftly and efficiently deliver capital to key segments of the economy • Mortgage and life insurance digitalization: leaping forward with technology to disrupt the role of intermediaries, whose role was often face-to-face Ø FinTech ‘enablers’ around AI, IoT and software solutions are in high demand: • AI: bots for call-centers; account-opening procedures; loan automation, • KYC: increased need for safe digital ID given volume of digital business transacted and robust solutions required for protection of client assets Ø Areas under pressure: • Challenger banks: high valuations, and lower expected activity post-crisis • Wealth management: client de-risking and lower AUMs impacting bottom line • Payments/FX: decreased transaction activity affecting commission businesses Ø Pull-back of corporate VC-led investments in combination with higher hurdles for companies’ access to funding put pressure on valuations in later-stage rounds Ø Increased M&A and trade-sales below $250m category of fintech companies, as fewer IPOs expected. In addition, Banks likely constrained given higher capital preservation requirements 2020 will be challenging for FinTechs to navigate, but prosperous times remain ahead post crisis where Disruptive winners take it all and demand for AI, Tech and IoT companies that help financials transform to a digital and Data driven interaction will surge.

  • 9. How does acceleration of digital adoption by Consumers, SMEs and Financial Institutions due to CV-19 change competitive landscape? How do FinTech'’ and Incumbents perform during the crisis e.g. do they pass the "Digital Stress" test? How will the CV- 19 crisis impact the Funding landscape and valuations?
