How to Manage Increasing Data Compliance Issues in Community BanksColleen Beck-Domanico
During one of RMA’s Credit Risk Management Audio Conferences, H. Walter Young, chief liquidity risk officer, M&T Bank and chief data officer, CCAR, shared strategies and best practices for community banks facing increased data compliance and integrity issues, once deemed as “big bank issues."
In order to develop a fact-based perspective, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has conducted parallel surveys of more than 100 senior bankers and 100 Fintech executives. The objective is to determine their respective views on the impact of Fintech, the strengths and weaknesses of the participants and the likely landscape for the retail banking industry over the next five years.
Financial institutions in Europe are preparing to confront a major legislation revision for the banking industry: the proposal for a revised directive on payment services in the internal market, better known as Payment Services Directive, or PSD2.
PSD2 represents one of the single biggest changes in banking industry history, because it’s the first time banks will be obligated by law to open their infrastructures to third parties. Many banks are concerned about this legislation, feeling exposed and under attack from new entrants. It also enables customers to be in the driving seat when it comes to their finances. Yet, does it need to be a huge threat?
In this special, exclusive webinar, Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong of Backbase talk about what PSD2 means for the banking industry, and how can banks can prepare for this inevitable change. We are looking at:
What PSD2 actually is
PSD2 and the connection with APIs
PSD2’s impact on banks
New entrants in the banking space
The bank’s fundamental strategic choice: the defensive or offensive strategy
Opportunities to capitalise on.

John Crane, former CIO of National Australia Bank, spoke at The Marketing Practice's Sales & Marketing Forum about how suppliers could more effectively reach decision-makers in his position.
The slides give an overview of what suppliers need to know about the role of a CIO in a retail bank, how they work as part of an exec team, how they interact with the rest of the business, and how their department may be structured.
There are also some prompts for suppliers looking for closer sales and marketing relationships with CIOs (including the question of whether the CIO is the right target in the first place...).
We are pleased to share our thoughts for Fintech in 2018 trying to cover AI to Insurance to ICOs. We hope you find them useful and feel free to share you're thoughts with us as well.

5. What’s been good for Indian banks hasn’t been good
enough for the country
• Scorching pace of growth since liberalization: CAGR of
around 30% to touch a figure of INR 9700 Billion. Bankable
households are growing at a CAGR of 28% (2007-11)
• What’s powering this growth?
• Economic prosperity and growth rate
• Young population (70%<35 years)
But • Technology channels: ATM, POS, Web, Mobile
• Retail loans constitute 7% of our economy versus 35% in
other Asian countries
• Retail assets are at only 25% of total banking assets
• 41% of India’s adult population is un-banked
• Number of loan accounts: 14% of adult population
• 73% of farm households have no access to institutional
credit
• Share of money lenders in rural debt has moved from 17%
in 1991 to 30% in 2002

6. Fortunately, the scenario is changing
• Financial Inclusion (FI) is an RBI mandate, government
mandate and a social mandate
• There IS a fortune at the base of the pyramid
• Social security payments and NREGA payments are
being routed through banks
• MFI’s have shown that it’s possible to run extremely
profitable businesses. Most major banks are working on
a business-driven FI strategy
• Simplified KYC norms and UID is expected to drive down the
cost of customer acquisition
• Innovation in mobile / hand held devices using an uniquely
Indian model offers the best potential breakout strategy

7. The Technology Response to the complex business
landscape has been…….complex!
Technology Mayhem vs.
Technology Management?

8. Enterprise Architecture Management: Introduction
As companies innovate, add new business lines and products, or expand their
international presence, processes proliferate, and the discipline around them can go out
the window.
Meanwhile, the IT that underpins these processes can also become more entangled as
aging legacy systems jostle with new applications to support the needs of the business.
Over time, this kind of complexity can unravel technology standards and undermine the
coherence of the architectural blueprint. As application volumes grow in response to a fast-
changing economic, regulatory, and business environment, the issue of complexity is
becoming acute for many organizations.
Enterprise architecture management (EAM), a framework to manage IT architecture and
ensure that both the business and IT are well aligned, aims to restore order to this
landscape.
McKinsey on Business Technology, Spring 2010, Helge Buckow et al

10. Enterprise Architecture Management: Checklist
◘
Leadership
• Focus on transformation: Educate leaders at the highest level to help them understand that EAM is about change
◘
management and not simply a new IT initiative.
• Choose new leadership: Select a chief architect or CTO with strong business and technical skills and the requisite
•
budgetary and leadership authority to manage the change process.
Know what to avoid: Expand candidate searches beyond the ranks of career IT denizens ◘
◘
Governance
• Define the mission: The goals of EAM must be translated into business terms or risk being branded as an IT-driven
◘
initiative.
• Communicate clearly: Many EAM frameworks are written for a technical audience, with no clear business rationale for
◘
non-IT types. New rules for implementation must stress the business case rather than the engineering details.
• Lead locally: Ensure that the project-management team includes both business line and IT managers on a
◘
global, regional, and local level to disseminate program changes throughout the organization and ensure institutional buy-
in.
• Adopt new metrics: Align milestones, key performance indicators (KPIs), and incentives with business goals
A new architectural model ◘
◘
• Establish a new blueprint: Business requirements rather than technical needs should be at the center of the IT
architecture.
• Standardize and simplify: Break up complex applications into their component parts to find common elements that can
be standardized and shared. Capabilities that involve similar functions and rely on similar data, such as billing or credit
◘
approval, can be grouped into domains. A domain-based architecture streamlines the number of applications
supported, freeing up human, financial, and system resources.
• Create a new playbook: A guide to the architecture should dispense with complex hardware and software specifications
and instead describe what IT can deliver to the business

• Integrating with B2B (Corporate and Business Banking) e.g. Amway,
MCFL, LIC
• Integrating with B2C (collaborative Retail platforms) e.g. Angel Broking for
Online Share Trading and Enstage for Mastercard 3D Secure
• Integrating with and Outsourced Service Providers (Operations) e.g. 3i
Infotech and Karvy for AOF outsourcing
• Faster time to market: 60-90 % less integration effort
