This past summer, more than 250 runners in 38 of our locations joined forces to contribute to charity – for every 5 km run and 15 km biked, 1 dollar was donated. Donations from this year’s run went to Teach for All, an organization that ensures that children have access to the learning opportunities and support they need. Advertisement #RunForIT THE FINTECH DISRUPTION IN INDIA According to a recent study, India is home to more than 687 million active internet users as of January 2020, making it the second-largest internet market after China. Interestingly, in 2019, the number of rural users surpassed urban internet users by a margin of 10%. This number has only grown in 2020. Hence, the country’s rural space is ripe for disruption by new- age fintech players, and the future will see them capturing this market segment on the back of effective digital-first solutions specifically designed for rural consumers. 8 #12/2021 Key aspects of disruption: • Financial inclusion and a mobile-first economy • Neo-banking • Digital payments • Alternative lending • InsurTech and WealthTech • Chatbots and IA (Intelligent Automation) • Risk evaluation through AI/ ML • Cybersecurity Financial Inclusion and a Mobile-First Economy A large portion of the Indian population has been excluded from the formal financial system, due to a lack of awareness about the benefits of formal banking and the inability of traditional FS players to serve this segment in a cost-effective manner. However, since the launch of governmental schemes, including Jan Dhan Yojana and Direct Benefit Transfer, and the increase in internet penetration in rural India, there has been a marked rise in awareness Neobanking levels of FS products. The traditionally unbanked and underbanked population that was earlier averse to Neo banks are the new-age interpretation of banking accessing formal FS products is now embracing them.

    EQUITY RESEARCH | May 22, 2018 | 12:35AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Americas Banks Americas Banks Banking on technology The shareholder benefits of a digital future The benefits of innovation in the banking industry have largely either accrued to customers in the form of lower prices or added to the cost base of the banking industry with limited revenue benefits. We see the current wave of digitization, which is centered on electronic payments, straight through processing and AI, generating real scale and efficiency benefits for the largest US banks. The decreasing importance of a physical distribution network also appears to be driving market share concentration with the largest banks taking 6pp of deposit market share since 2008. We see these trends accelerating over the next five years and estimate that the largest banks could see 350bps of efficiency improvement increasing to 800bps if revenue growth is factored in. Tech companies continue to seek opportunities to expand into financial services given their brand and broad customer base. However, we see their focus on eliminating frictions in payments and expanding their offerings to the under-banked, which are likely to be better achieved through partnerships and JVs with incumbent players.
