  • 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.

By forcing incumbent banks to break their monopoly access on payment mechanisms – startups, aggregators and other sectors are empowered to improve customer service, lower costs and develop more innovative technology. In the European Union, the Payments Services Directive 2 (PSD2) requires banks to open access to their back-end services for account information and payment initiation to third parties through application programming interfaces (APIs). In the UK the Competition and Money Authority (CMA) has driven a similar agenda requiring the nine largest banks in the UK to open access to all payment’s accounts. Concurrently with this opening up of access to customer information, the EU has introduced data privacy legislation (GDPR) governing consumer rights in directing how customer information may be used, and in providing guidelines on how customer information must be safeguarded. What is Open Banking? Open Banking is the provision of third-party access to customer and account information through the use of APIs.

Emmi Partner [email protected] Trevor A. Levine Associate [email protected] 1. What are the sources of payments law in your jurisdiction? Payments laws in the United States consist of an array of regulatory regimes administered by both state and federal regulators. The primary purpose of these regimes is to protect consumers, facilitate orderly and efficient transfers of value and prevent money laundering and other illegal activities involving payments. At the federal level, payments touch a number of financial industry statutes and regulations, including the Consumer Credit Protection Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Reg. E, Dodd-Frank Act, Expedited Funds Availability Act, Reg. CC, Reg. J, Reg. II, and the Uniform Commercial Code. At the state level, payments are generally covered by money transmission, auto-renewal, surcharge, and prepaid access laws. The federal and state statutory regimes governing payments is supported by periodic rulemakings and guidance issued by regulators. In addition to governmental oversight, the payments industry has developed certain standards by which participants must abide. For example, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council administers and maintains payment card industry data security standards (PCI-DSS) for those who process, store or transmit cardholder data.
