USA In May, the third and final part of the 2012 JOBS Act, Regulation Crowdfunding, went into effect Regulation Crowdfunding allows any American startup or small business to raise up to $1 million from friends, family, and followers on debt and equity crowdfunding platforms registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). During the course of the year: 21 debt and equity crowdfunding platforms were launched and one, Ufunding Portal, shut down by the SEC because it seemed to be missing some of the statutory requirements required of a funding portal. Investors committed $19 million to the 186 campaigns and transfered $17.9 million to the 79 funded campaigns. Over 21,000 individual investments were recorded for 2016. The average investment was $833, and the average number of investors in a funded campaign was 331 The average valuation for a funded campaign was $5.3 million. #crowdinvesting #results #USA #2016 Crowdfunding Financial technology start-ups to get a license to bank The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are planning to create a new type of banking license (for example, trust banks and credit card banks) that will allow upstart financial technology companies to expand more quickly across the country. A special purpose national bank must conduct at least one of the following functions: fiduciary activities, receiving deposits or lending money. The licenses from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees many national banks, will be available to companies like Square and Lending Club that accept deposits, facilitate electronic payments or lend money. Many technology firms have been pushing for some sort of new regulatory system that would allow them to cut through the patchwork of state and federal laws that govern financial activities and make it hard to expand nationally. The OCC acknowledged that Fintech companies’ business models vary widely and that therefore each application should be reviewed individually. #p2p #license #USA #2016 Banking Shaping certain sectors Regulation activities in the US Most of activities are focused on shaping certain sectors within an industry Source: Fintechranking.com Key message

APIs and Open Banking will start to shift the banking landscape with more traction in Europe and Asia, but we’re likely to start seeing the gap between leaders and laggards widen William Sullivan, Head of Global Financial Services Intelligence for CapGemini I. Open banking and API are all the rage The hype around banking APIs will increase, even overtaking cryptocurrencies. Major banks will launch public API platforms APIs are arguably one of the biggest topics in the industry. The business model for profiting as a platform is key here, and many are still struggling with it Global regulators will embrace fintech competition and regulatory concessions … Africa will embrace APIs … financial inclusion will become a mainstream and actionable topic … and the US will embrace change in the regulatory and political system 2015 was all about blockchain. 2016 saw an explosion of interest in machine learning and artifi- cial intelligence. 2017 will be the year of open marketplaces and platforms. Platforms support the rapid cycle deployment of microservices into a financial marketplace... any bank with old legacy technology will start to look like a dinosaur Shamir Karkal, Head of Open APIs at BBVA David Brear, CEO and Founder of 11:FS Chris Skinner, Author and CEO of The Finanser Ltd Simon Taylor, Co-Founder of 11:FS
Key initiatives in bank-as-a-service and open banking areas BAASIS, launched in 2016 in Singapore,  is an open-API Bank-as-a-Service platform, aimed to connect banks and FinTech startups across Asia Pacific region. Currently is in integration phase with several banks on different markets. In 1H 2016 was launched solarisBank, banking-as-a-platform startup with a full banking license in Germany. It provides account and transaction services, compli- ance and trust solutions, working capital financing, and online loans for fintech startups. Bancorp – industry leading US-based largest bank-as-a-service platform, hosting 100+ non-banks with processing volume of $200+ billion USD annually. Different clients of different size, including google wallet, PayPal, T-Mobile, yodlee and others In 4Q 2016 Citi launched global API Developer Portal aimed to open architec- ture to facilitate collaboration with FinTech companies. APIs includes account management, p2p payments, money transfer, rewards, investment purchases and account authorization. Otkritie, the biggest privately-owned bank in Russia, through the process of integrat- ing with leading digital bank for SMEs Tochka, developed its own modern API-platform, that was later used to integrate with fintech startups, including mobile bank for retail clients Rocketbank. In 2H 2016 BBVA launched its API market- place, aimed to offer other companies a way to leverage BBVA’s capabilities to build their services. Fintech startups has an access to such APIs as PayStats, Connect, Accounts and Cards The UK government in 2016 has set up the Open Banking Working Group (OBWG) in order to create an open banking standard that makes it easy to share and use financial data. It includes development of open API to enable services to be built using bank and customer data In Q4 2016 the Korean Government launched an open banking platform for financial institutions (16 banks) that will allow them to build services that automatically populate financial information for new customers. The platform will essentially serve as database of consumer financial informa- tion that is accessible via API. In 4Q 2016 The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) published 12 sets of data from MAS’ Monthly Statistical Bulletin as APIs. MAS is encouraging financial industry players to publish open APIs on their datasets, to allow users to connect information and offer innovative solutions Startups and tech companies Banks Government initiatives

In 2017 neo-banks should prove their sustainability through several achievemments: Hundreds of thousands / millions of customers (n26, Atom, Nubank) Reaching operational profitability (Nickel, Moven, Fidor) Global expansion and Open API play (Fidor, Monzo, Tandem) Expansion of product line (N26, Tandem) 2016: year of a new wave of mobile-first challenger banks (Tandem, Atom, Monzo, Starling, N26, Nickel, Nubank, GoHenry) – raised more than $300M The growing competition and atten- tion to the sector is evidenced by a number of acquisitions (Rocketbank by Russian Otkritie, Fidor by French BPCE, Holvi by Spanish BBVA, ZenBankx by SoFi) and launches of proprietary products (GSbank by Goldman Sachs, Indian Digibankby Singaporean DBS, JP Morgan’s activity in Indonesia) Another new trend for modern banks is crowdinvesting (equity crowdfunding). During the last half year two British challenger banks, Tandem, GoHenry and Monzo, crowdfunded £1M; IV. Raise of mobile banks
Blockchain Regtech Payments Blockchain industry is expected to pass its stage of “prove-of-concept” and show “prove-of-business” meaning concrete operational and financial achevements and business results. We expect to see the shift of attention from so-called “consortiums” and assiciations to real technological startups with innovative solutions and products. The top sectors are predominantly in finance and technological solutions (Blockstream, Bitfury, etc) There is a decreasing tendency towards launching new blockchain companies but there is an increase in investment rounds The most successful applications are expected to be in finance in 2017 and the emerging of new googles and amazons are to be expected as well In 2017, we expect to see the emergence of regtech areas like analytics, algo- rithms, due diligence, fraud detection, verification of payment and authentica- tion According to a recent research by the Institute of International Finance, several banks are beginning to explore regtech and are working with start-ups to find possible solutions to different regula- tory challenges Last year 2016, the UK government budget allocated funds to support the adoption of new technologies to deliver regulatory requirements. In 2017, regtech will continue to gather support from governments around the world PSD2, which enable owners of numer- ous bank accounts to view all of their multibank details on one interface and Payment Initiation Services Providers (PISP), to continue reinforcing security and clarifying the role of payment players Cooperation with banks and FinTechs, the emergence of new forms of collab- oration like through API– a protocol enabling communication between different information systems Other expectation of 2017

    USA In May, thethird and final part of the 2012 JOBS Act, Regulation Crowdfunding, went into effect Regulation Crowdfunding allows any American startup or small business to raise up to $1 million from friends, family, and followers on debt and equity crowdfunding platforms registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). During the course of the year: 21 debt and equity crowdfunding platforms were launched and one, Ufunding Portal, shut down by the SEC because it seemed to be missing some of the statutory requirements required of a funding portal. Investors committed $19 million to the 186 campaigns and transfered $17.9 million to the 79 funded campaigns. Over 21,000 individual investments were recorded for 2016. The average investment was $833, and the average number of investors in a funded campaign was 331 The average valuation for a funded campaign was $5.3 million. #crowdinvesting #results #USA #2016 Crowdfunding Financial technology start-ups to get a license to bank The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency are planning to create a new type of banking license (for example, trust banks and credit card banks) that will allow upstart financial technology companies to expand more quickly across the country. A special purpose national bank must conduct at least one of the following functions: fiduciary activities, receiving deposits or lending money. The licenses from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees many national banks, will be available to companies like Square and Lending Club that accept deposits, facilitate electronic payments or lend money. Many technology firms have been pushing for some sort of new regulatory system that would allow them to cut through the patchwork of state and federal laws that govern financial activities and make it hard to expand nationally. The OCC acknowledged that Fintech companies’ business models vary widely and that therefore each application should be reviewed individually. #p2p #license #USA #2016 Banking Shaping certain sectors Regulation activities in the US Most of activities are focused on shaping certain sectors within an industry Source: Fintechranking.com Key message

    APIs and OpenBanking will start to shift the banking landscape with more traction in Europe and Asia, but we’re likely to start seeing the gap between leaders and laggards widen William Sullivan, Head of Global Financial Services Intelligence for CapGemini I. Open banking and API are all the rage The hype around banking APIs will increase, even overtaking cryptocurrencies. Major banks will launch public API platforms APIs are arguably one of the biggest topics in the industry. The business model for profiting as a platform is key here, and many are still struggling with it Global regulators will embrace fintech competition and regulatory concessions … Africa will embrace APIs … financial inclusion will become a mainstream and actionable topic … and the US will embrace change in the regulatory and political system 2015 was all about blockchain. 2016 saw an explosion of interest in machine learning and artifi- cial intelligence. 2017 will be the year of open marketplaces and platforms. Platforms support the rapid cycle deployment of microservices into a financial marketplace... any bank with old legacy technology will start to look like a dinosaur Shamir Karkal, Head of Open APIs at BBVA David Brear, CEO and Founder of 11:FS Chris Skinner, Author and CEO of The Finanser Ltd Simon Taylor, Co-Founder of 11:FS

    Blockchain Regtech Payments Blockchainindustry is expected to pass its stage of “prove-of-concept” and show “prove-of-business” meaning concrete operational and financial achevements and business results. We expect to see the shift of attention from so-called “consortiums” and assiciations to real technological startups with innovative solutions and products. The top sectors are predominantly in finance and technological solutions (Blockstream, Bitfury, etc) There is a decreasing tendency towards launching new blockchain companies but there is an increase in investment rounds The most successful applications are expected to be in finance in 2017 and the emerging of new googles and amazons are to be expected as well In 2017, we expect to see the emergence of regtech areas like analytics, algo- rithms, due diligence, fraud detection, verification of payment and authentica- tion According to a recent research by the Institute of International Finance, several banks are beginning to explore regtech and are working with start-ups to find possible solutions to different regula- tory challenges Last year 2016, the UK government budget allocated funds to support the adoption of new technologies to deliver regulatory requirements. In 2017, regtech will continue to gather support from governments around the world PSD2, which enable owners of numer- ous bank accounts to view all of their multibank details on one interface and Payment Initiation Services Providers (PISP), to continue reinforcing security and clarifying the role of payment players Cooperation with banks and FinTechs, the emergence of new forms of collab- oration like through API– a protocol enabling communication between different information systems Other expectation of 2017
