The probable
future
I trust what is transparent
and cheap and easy to
“purchase”.
I want to give it the same
amount of attention that I
need to give to booking a
flight.
I just go with what I need at
the moment. That’s my
lifestyle.

I trust what is vegan,
ethical and animal-friendly.
I understand what money
can mean but the

boring.
Basically whatever I get
into must be easy and fast

Big Techs are probably
going to have a front -role
in retail market.
Apple is starting to build a
locked ecosystem of
services.
Big techs will probably use
analytics to build new rules
of how to shape financial
products.
Eco-systems will still need
partners and providers.

25. U T U E SRF
We are already entering
the era of aggregators.
Users are looking for
someone who teaches them
and supports them to do
better.
Users are starting to trust
fintechs to take life-mgmt
decisions for us.
Users should expect more
up-selling points from these
kinds of solutions.

EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY
Look a Developer Portals
Talk to System Architects
Start looking at API Economy
Understand backend and operation limits
Ease introduction of
new contents
33. U T U E SRF
LEARN ABOUT COMPLIANCY
Read about regulations
Work out the concepts with legal/ service procurement
Seek for help from who got there before
European regulations offer great chance to be transparent
Compliancy is an
opportunity
34. U T U E SRF
SYNCRONIZE HEARTBEATS
The role of the connector is needed more than ever
The run for transformation creates new (intl) users to design for
New forms of research are needed to go beyond superficial findings
Impact maps to evaluate shared goals should become our “daily bread”
Ease introduction of
new contents
35. U T U E SRF
As Designers
Embrace technology means
looking at what actually can be
done and deliverables.
Start looking at Developer Portals,
understand the importance of
APIs and micro -services.
Financial institutions are highly
regulated and regulations are
making an impact on how these
businesses can be transformed.
Your role can be the one of syncing
the heartbeats of incumbents and
other players, to each others and to
their existing and potential
customers.

OUR

We should start informing
ourselves on what is really out
there that can be done with our
money.
What we learn we can share.
We can break the silence around
an uncomfortable topic.
We should be entitled to ask for
long-term trust, and we should be
able to leverage on it to get serviced
properly.

The preferable
future
I trust what I think helps
me pushing community and
personal goals.
My financial literacy is
enough to make me look
for new form of
investments for my future
and the society one.
I am ready to engage in
mid-term contracts,
obviously with the
possibility to get out of
engagements when my
goals are not fulfilled.
48. U T U E SRF
As Designers
We can take an active role in embedding
proper education layers in the products and
services we are designing for. This is not a
duty of banks and insurances. But it is a
great step towards long-lasting trust.
REDESIGN WHAT MEANS
FINANCIAL AND ECONOMICAL
EDUCATION.
