  • Next-Gen Technology Transformation in Financial Services
    April 2020 Next-gen Technology transformation in Financial Services Introduction Financial Services technology is currently in the midst of a profound transformation, as CIOs and their teams prepare to embrace the next major phase of digital transformation. The challenge they face is significant: in a competitive environment of rising cost pressures, where rapid action and response is imperative, financial institutions must modernize their technology function to support expanded digitization of both the front and back ends of their businesses. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 situation is putting immense pressure on technology capabilities (e.g., remote working, new cyber-security threats) and requires CIOs to anticipate and prepare for the “next normal” (e.g., accelerated shift to digital channels). Most major financial institutions are well aware of the imperative for action and have embarked on the necessary transformation. However, it is early days—based on our experience, most are only at the beginning of their journey. And in addition to the pressures mentioned above, many are facing challenges in terms of funding, complexity, and talent availability. This collection of articles—gathered from our recent publishing on the theme of financial services technology—is intended to serve as a roadmap for executives tasked with ramping up technology innovation, increasing tech productivity, and modernizing their platforms. The articles are organized into three major themes: 1. Reimagine the role of technology to be a business and innovation partner 2. Reinvent technology delivery to drive a step change in productivity and speed 3. Future-proof the foundation by building flexible and secure platforms The pace of change in financial services technology—as with technology more broadly—leaves very little time for leaders to respond.

  • The Future of Banking Is Open
    Visa Consulting & Analytics The Future of Banking is Open 1 Visa Consulting & Analytics Open banking What it is, why it matters, and how banks can lead the change If a consumer wants to block out the world around them, a single app gives them access to hundreds of thousands of songs and podcasts; over time, this app learns about their tastes and suggests new tunes for their listening pleasure. As technology evolves and artificial intelligence becomes more pervasive, consumers are beginning to ask why managing money cannot be as intuitive as managing music? Data is a key ingredient in offering personalized financial services, but it has been traditionally hard for consumers to share sensitive information with third parties, in a secure and consistent way. In response, financial innovation globally by both traditional and emerging players has taken place. This has led to an increase in financial innovation globally that is driven partly by the market and partly by regulation. As the world responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the clear outcomes is accelerated digital engagement, something that can only be done quickly and at scale through an open ecosystem and the unbundling of financial services. In this paper, we look at what open banking is, the way some of the world’s most forward-thinking banks are responding, and how Visa Consulting & Analytics can help in transforming your business. 2 Contents What is open banking, and why does it matter? What is driving open banking? What are the consumer considerations? What are the commercial implications for ecosystem players? How are banks responding? Five strategies to consider How can Visa help you take the next step on your open banking journey? 3 What is open banking, and why does it matter? Broadly put, the term open banking refers to the use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to share consumers’ financial data (with their consent) to trusted third-parties that, in turn, create and distribute novel financial products and services.

  • Member Exclusive by Dasia Moore the World’S Largest Tech Investor
    Member exclusive by Dasia Moore The world’s largest tech investor SoftBank’s Vision Fund launched in 2017 with nearly $100 billion and a dream of funding the next tech revolution. With its historic amount of capital, the Vision Fund established SoftBank as the tech investor to watch. But in the past year, high-profile disappointments—from Uber’s lackluster debut on the public markets to WeWork’s abandoned IPO—have removed some of the Vision Fund’s initial sheen and prompted critics to ask whether biggest is best. Putting the Vision Fund’s capital in context Median size of US venture capital (VC) funds in Q1 2019 $0.10 Tiger Global Management's fundraising from 2007-2017 $11.97 (the most capital raised by any US VC firm in that period) US VC total fundraising in 2017 $34.30 Capital invested in SoftBank's Vision Fund $98.40 Total value of all US VC deals in 2018 $132.09 $0 $40 $80 $120 billion 2 SoftBank’s sprawling investments The Vision Fund is just one piece of SoftBank’s complex network of investing and holding companies. It is difficult to take full stock of SoftBank Group Corporation’s investments, partly because the Group’s 47 branches—20 of which are holding companies—frequently swap pieces of their portfolios. SoftBank’s dedicated venture capital funds include the Vision Fund and the Delta Fund, with the Vision Fund accounting for nearly all of SoftBank’s venture capital investments since 2017. SoftBank is also launching additional funds modelled after the Vision Fund: • SoftBank Venture Asia is a $1.1 billion collection of 12 funds focused on tech investing in Asia.
