Convinced, as I am, that no industry sector or organization will be immune from digital transformation, I have spent the last two years looking at the effect of digitization on more traditional industries. My conclusion is that digitization is probably three steps ahead of our managerial capabilities to exploit it!

This document is a Knowledge Area Review (KAR). It summarises available public research and case studies on the impact of digitisation on business banking*. More specifically, it describes how the pervasive adoption of connected, cloud, and mobile technologies across industries is being leveraged to improve the efficiency, revenue or customer satisfaction of the relationship management model currently used by most to serve their business customers (‘the business banking model’).

Much has been said and written about the impact of digitisation on consumer banking and other industries; not so much, though, on business banking. Business banking has so far not been at the forefront of application of new technologies, except for some digitisation of back-office processes. A recent CEB TowerGroup survey found business banks rolled out mobile solutions for the first time predominantly in late 2010 and 2011.

In our view, this is because lending is the core product for most SME businesses. Credit assessment of these typically riskier borrowers requires the costly (for the customer and the ) collection and maintenance of a large amount of information on the customer. This dependence on credit can be leveraged by the bank to cross-sell a number of other products. Thus business customers, especially the small and mid-sized corporates, have tended to have a single bank and long-standing relationships.

Surely there have been for a many of years a number of players on the fringes of the business banking world providing payments and other specialised services. But so far no non-bank entrant has come in with an all- encompassing value proposition for mid-corporates with credit at its core.

So the question is not so much one of what bank incumbents or new entrants are doing in Australia or other markets, but more one of to what extent digital technologies question the implicit assumptions behind the traditional business model centred on a relationship manager facilitating access to a range of product specialists.

* ‘business banking’, throughout this document, will be used in a broad sense to mean providing banking products and services to 5 businesses with more than $1m of turnover (i.e. all businesses except micro-businesses)

© Internal Consulting Group 2015 1. Introduction Introduction (cont’d)

In other words, the question of the impact of digitalisation on business banking is more one of forecasting how digital technologies could impact the current business model. This document is structured as follows: 1. ‘Impact of digitisation’ asks what do new technologies mean and how are they changing our lives; it describes the types of technological innovation industries can experience and how responses need to differ, as well as how we can estimate the likely speed and quantum of digitisation in business banking 2. ‘Lessons from retail banking’ looks at disruptive innovation in consumer and small business banking; specifically, what new customer value propositions and business models are being created, who are some of the new players, and obstacles to offering an all-encompassing proposition to this segment that rivals the banks’ 3. ‘Digitising business banking’ revisits the traditional relationship management model and its rationale and asks a. how is the model evolving (how digital technologies are being deployed to sell and service business customers by banks and non-banks and possible future developments) b. how do data analytics create value; what’s the current state of development of data analytics in banking; how can analytics capabilities be developed; and how can ‘big data’ be leveraged c. to what extent are the implicit beliefs of that model being questioned by new digital technologies d. how it could be disrupted, i.e. how could banks be desintermediated e. how investments in digitisation should be prioritised

§. The explosion of new digital technologies (broadband, mobile devices, cloud computing) – and the myriad of internet applications and new business concepts that ride on their cusp – are fuelling the imagination (and generating concerns) about how the traditional business banking model could be transformed. §. Most of this innovation has so far been in the consumer banking arena. The thinking is only now starting about the application of new digital technologies to business customers, especially at the front-end. §. Nevertheless, the time has well and truly come for the business market. Accenture argues we are reaching a tipping point where the relationship between the business customer and the bank is eroding and the traditional bundled product offer to SMEs (with credit at its centre) could be unpicked as a result of a combination of credit unavailability, lower credit needs, new technologies, changing SME needs and regulatory pressure to make switching banks easier. §. Most of the expected innovation in business banking is focused on new products and services leveraging the mobile channel (payments products being the most prominent). Nevertheless, we can easily imagine a world where a number of new technologies are leveraged to transform quite substantially the way a relationship manager performs his/her key activities. §. It is difficult to anticipate where disruptive innovation could come from (points of entry), but given the centrality of credit for most businesses, especially SMEs, innovation in lending is likely to be the biggest threat for incumbents (e.g. ‘rating agency’ for SMEs that allowed businesses – once rated – to shop around for credit). §. Given the large number of possible applications of digital technologies to better sell and service businesses, it is imperative to have a clear view of priorities. For incumbents, these should be dictated by (1) the need to pre-empt potential disruptive innovation from other banks and non-banks, and (2) the opportunities with the largest scope for value creation.

De-localisation • Services that do not involve physical contact with the customer (unlike e.g. hairdressing, massage) can be performed from anywhere • Face-to-face interaction with customer does not require co-location • Co-workers need not be co-located • Companies do not have to have a physical presence to compete in foreign markets Individualisation • Customer segments can be much smaller (segments of one person at the limit) • Products and communications can be highly customised (e.g. loan’s features, internet banking site) Automation • Needs can be anticipated without human intervention (based on digital info collected by the systems themselves); interactive, adaptive response as customer navigates through the bank’s website

‘Big data’ • Segmentation can be done on the basis of a wealth of psychographic data • Much larger amount of customer data available to develop new products and services • Location-dependant products and services can be offered Real time • Customers want to communicate anytime, from anywhere, and expect an answer also in real time (the emergence of the 24x7 channel) • Multi-channel interaction requires real time processing and channel integration • Opportunity to market to existing customers as they interact with the bank Customer control • The customer has a multitude of sources of information • The rise of the militant consumer: the customer can take control of the brand and can organise easily to corral like-minded consumers • Amplifier effect of service quality (good and bad) Changed economics • Changes in cost-to-serve, improved productivity and the entry of new players with novel business models create and re-distribute value along the chain 14 Source: ICG analysis

Key elements

• Starting point is a well designed, intuitive and well-integrated online portal, similar to the Enhanced service at offering of a good personal bank, but with more features and flexibility (e.g. web portal of low cost ) • Others are remote cheque capture, EDI, payables outsourcing, payroll cards

Segmented product • Offer tailored solutions in an economical way (e.g. standardised product packages) and service offerings • Segment the middle market into size-tiers and by industry

• Embrace relationship managers from both commercial lending and cash management, Revamped sales matching their expertise to the customer segment organisation • Reward RMs for cross-selling cash management products (both initial sale and continued use) • Credit cash-management sales personnel with the full value they create • Find economical ways of leveraging product specialists for smaller middle-market customers

World-class account • Invest in account-planning tools and the underlying systems planning • Use a robust, centralised lead-generation database

© Internal Consulting Group 2015 5. Digitising business banking Imagine a world where... Nevertheless, for the moment, a lot of the technological innovation in the business banking relationship model is more imagined than actually realised

Online Scheduling: Imagine your small business customers’ having 24x7 ability to reserve a time that is convenient for them to meet or talk with their banker or service representative. No more back and forth calls or emails, or waiting at the branch.

Seamless channels: Imagine allowing the customer to begin and finish opening an account or submitting a service request on any combination of channels (in the branch, online, over the phone or on a mobile device) without having to start over. Thus allowing them to return to the process and provide the necessary documentation how, when and where it is convenient for them.

Ask the Expert: Imagine sitting in the bank with your prospect and instantly bringing up via video conferencing an available treasury management or mortgage expert to aid in addressing customer questions. Being able to instantly check the availability of the “expert” and bring them up allows there to be a “face-to-face” connection, eliminates the need for an additional appointment and expedites the sales or service cycle.

Digitized Forms: Imagine there were digitized forms which allow for pre-populating customer data from CRM or other systems, eliminating inapplicable sections of the form in real time based on the service being sold and creating a digital record of information for further processing.

House Calls: Imagine using mobile platform support, digital signature capture, interactive forms and secure communications to reduce the customer’s need to go to the branch.

Scalable Relationship Management: Imagine having a CRM system that guides and informs small business bankers in ways that promote relationship building and timely contact with their customers based on priority, “trigger” events or anticipated needs. This supports the banker’s ability to focus on serving their customers when and where it is needed most.

What they did.

• Integrated approach pairing an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) with a performance management system (initially, Oracle Financial Services tools for enterprise performance management (EPM)) • Step-by-step integration of this EPM functionality in an EDW from Teradata • Phase 1: Crisis Management. Members of the BI team targeted three critical areas: 1. developed reports to analyze sales performance, risk and revenue management 2. developed key performance indicators (KPIs) across the organization (Consistent, comprehensive KPIs, backed by helpdesk support and well-understood metadata) 3. work by the BI team enabled potential investors to conduct due diligence of the company’s business and financial data necessary for a bank-valuation model, which led to 60% of the bank being acquired by Société Générale in 2001 • Phase 2: From 2002 to 2004, a newly created BI team rolled out BI applications for cost management, direct channels and sales support, winning fans with each targeted project. • Phase 3: Starting in 2004, the BI group turned its attention to building sophisticated tools to handle risk and further concentrated on the metadata solution. It delivered new capabilities to thwart money laundering and meet regulatory requirements like Basel II • Phase 4: Since 2008, the priority has been consumer-focused efforts, such as analytical customer relationship management and campaign management

BNP Paribas has started on a multi-year digital transformation journey

Background: • BNP Paribas grew rapidly in the past decade by acquiring banks in several countries. The firm is now aiming to solidify its international position, aligning processes globally • Crisis, regulation and technology adoption by customers and employees are pushing BNP Paribas to consider digital transformation Their journey so far: • The first step of the transformation has focused on reach: creating a multichannel strategy that includes the web as well as emerging technologies such as mobile and social media • BNP Paribas is today in a transition phase to reach the second step of the transformation: integrating transactions across channels and building a conversation with clients via an external CRM and analytics-based tools • To improve customer experience, the firm launched multiple initiatives. − The firm increased customer touch points via social media, providing customer service on twitter and advertising on Facebook. − In 2010, BNP Paribas launched a new branch model. This Concept Store will help develop new ways of interacting and selling products to the customer via new technologies and self-service areas. − The firm’s next step is to start a conversation with customers on social media. This will require building social-customer knowledge, via an external CRM, and increasing analytics capability. − Mobile apps provide a substitute to using the internet website. In 2011, BNP Paribas launched new mobile bank services in partnership with a telecom operator. This was more than a simple website substitution. It was a switch from traditional business model to a digital one, with a different cost and revenue structure. • From an operational process point of view, BNP Paribas is still at the beginning of its transformation journey. The firm is focusing on security improvements and cloud solutions, which executives see as key differentiators in the industry. The objective of process rationalization will be to have end-to-end digitized processes in an integrated platform, which could generate international economies of scale. Next digital objectives: • Move into mobility, reach the next level of customer intimacy and develop a strong analytics strategy. 45 Source: MIT Center for Digital Business and CapGemini Consulting, ‘Digital transformation: a roadmap for billion dollar organizations’, 2011

“By transforming its approach to data and analysis, First Tennessee Bank has dramatically increased its marketing effectiveness. This is a bank that understands that measuring effective marketing must include realized compared with potential customer profitability as opposed to measuring just the number of new products sold. As every marketer knows, if you simply make an offer attractive enough, sales will follow. Many banks pursue this strategy to increase deposit rates — offering high interest accounts to bring in new business — but lose those customers as soon as a competitor has a better offer. Customers brought in by overly attractive offers are not only less loyal but also less profitable.

Using analytics effectively allows banks to manipulate offer attributes, in a very granular way, to achieve higher profitability from a growing customer base. First Tennessee uses models they have developed internally to create profitability tiers with varying product attributes. The bank has also developed customer scoring models, based on very granular data points, to determine each customer's likelihood to purchase potential offers. With these product and customer models, the bank can create profitability scenarios and use these to determine which product offers will generate the most value for the bank. The bank then uses this information to prioritize marketing programs and allocate resources effectively.

As a result of this approach, First Tennessee has produced quantifiable results. It has cut its mailing and printing marketing costs by 20% and 17%, respectively, by allocating resources more effectively. And at the same time, it has increased effectiveness — generating a 3.1% increase in response rates by putting better offers in front of its prospects without sacrificing profit targets.”

IBM advises to start with selecting a critical question or objective

Typical obstacles: Approach: • Complex, heterogeneous technology

architectures Step 1: Identify and prioritize critical business issues and allow these • Operationally optimized but siloed processes priorities to steer the project and systems Decision criteria should include: • Data fragmented across multiple databases • Value of anticipated benefits to be derived from the project • Constrained investment budgets with Reports and insights need to be efficiently produced and competing agendas • securely delivered • Lack of skilled resources • Data sources must be trusted across functional boundaries • Perception that the data available is of • Analytics tools should be adopted broadly, support self-service, insufficient quality to support analysis. and be business-owned but IT-supported

Step 2: Conduct an inventory and assessment of the data to confirm that the scope is achievable and that analysis will yield actionable results within the agreed hypotheses

Key elements

Size the opportunities • Identify threats and opportunities that leverage big data and threats • Estimate their size and value

• Conduct a ‘data audit’: thorough review of all relevant internal and external data to Identify big data develop a realistic view of the information and capabilities required; this will also help resources and gaps identify ‘data gems’ cloistered inside business units

Don’t rush into action: data strategies are likely to be deeply intertwined with overall Align on strategic • strategy and therefore require thoughtful planning about allocation of resources choices • Ensure senior management has visibility and sets the priorities of the analytics team

Understand the • Strategies involving ‘big data’ often have implications across the entire company that organisational only senior executives can address implications • To be useful, data must cut across organisational boundaries

© Internal Consulting Group 2015 5. Digitising business banking Concerns regarding ‘big data’ Society and regulators are only gradually setting rules for ‘big data’. In the meanwhile, companies have to make decisions without regulatory clarity

Comments

• Biggest concern. Could be (partially?) resolved with more transparency and by giving users more Privacy control • Lack of clarity and potential legal framework changes surrounding property rights of personal information

• A pioneering law in California in 2003 required companies to notify people if a security breach had Information security compromised their personal information, which pushed companies to invest more in prevention. The model has been adopted in other states and could be used more widely.

Current rules on digital records limit the length of time when data can be stored. However, Rules on storage of • companies can and have an interest in keeping information for a long period of time; regulation is digital records also pushing in this direction

• Concerns around the legal implications of using statistical correlations: what if a computer model Data uses factors in the educational level of the applicant's mother, which in America is strongly correlated with race? And what if computers can predict his predisposition to committing a crime? • A new regulatory principle in the age of big data, then, might be that people's data cannot be used to discriminate against them on the basis of something that might or might not happen

Information integrity • Censorship pollutes the internet environment.

The typical business banking model – centred on a business banker/relationship manager who often doubles up as the credit and payments product specialist, supported by a large range of product specialists, some based in the BBC, others stationed at HO – has a logical rationale. But to what extent are the implicit beliefs of that model being questioned now by new digital technologies?

The current economic climate is making SMEs more open to considering alternatives (and easier too). But the fundamental issue of collecting and maintaining risk assessment information has not gone away

Beliefs underlying the traditional business banking model: The new reality:

• SMEs are riskier than larger corporates – the • Risk assessment needs to be more granular than just bank needs to take the time to understand their industry and size – this requires data and analytics business before extending credit or seek • The contraction in credit has led many small businesses guarantees feeling the need to diversify their banking relationships • SMEs lack sophistication; thus products need to • Financial comparison websites allow quick assessment of be simple suitability of products and comparison of prices and • SMEs are quite diverse – products need to be terms tailored, but not too much as that introduces • Products can now be more cheaply tailored complexity and cost; thus packaged solutions • More services can be provided in a fully automated way SMEs lack time and resources and it is very time • with no human intervention consuming to shop around and supply new banks with the necessary information on the SME • SMEs demand business banking offers that run on their owner and their business; it is also cumbersome mobile devices and time consuming to change transactional • The technology now exists to provide easier access (after banking arrangements hours) to the RM and product specialists (via video call)

Ø SMEs were fiercely loyal and ‘sticky’ customers that Ø SMEs expectations are rising; more willingness tended to have a single bank to shop around and buy different products from different providers

There are four questions that are key in deciding how to prioritise investments in digitisation

• How will digitization impact my current business model and positioning • How much time do I have? within my industry’s value chain? (speed and quantum of impact and • What do I need to watch? respective determining factors) • Future economics? • Points of entry of disruptors? • What areas of my business offer new entrants clear opportunities to => Defensive moves disrupt my current business model, and how can I best fight back?

• Opportunities? • How can I best identify and enter areas where value is being created, both inside and outside my industry? => Offensive moves

• Which capabilities do I need to build to be a leader in the field? => Enablers

Regardless of bank or strategy, future technological platforms will have to offer some core, foundational capabilities that all customers will expect and demand. If properly leveraged, many of these capabilities also present great opportunities to reduce cost, increase revenue and strengthen customer loyalty

Capability Description

Real time / Same time • Real time integration across all channels (channel-agnosticism) • Real time processing of transactions • If not real time, at least ‘same-time’: all transactions reported as at the same time Single customer view This ‘holy grail ‘of banking (and other industries) has been difficult to achieve, but in the digital era it is really a foundational pre-requisite of any player or strategy

‘The glass bank’ Customer is able to self-service (e.g. check on the progress of their loan application)

Sophisticated analytics The increasing amount of data that banks can/will be able to collect on customers is a major asset that can be leveraged to develop much finer psychographic segmentation, customised products, real time offers, location-dependent offers or alerts, etc

Customisation • Ability to offer highly customised products and services • Customer control / self-design of products and services • Customised processes • Customised pricing

© Internal Consulting Group 2015 Next steps: strategic issues facing business banks today

Digital technologies raise a number of new strategic issues for business banks that should be further investigated

§. Can we afford an RM-centred model for more/different customers if we use a different model? §. Can a more digitised coverage model make it economical for us to target new customers? §. Will our current coverage model remain competitive against an alternative, lighter coverage model of a competitor?

§. How do we leverage new digital technologies... §. ... without weakening the quality of the relationship? §. ... to leapfrog competitors with denser coverage and more resources? §. ... to increase cross-sell and deepen relationships? §. ... to create new products, services and value propositions? §. From where can we expect disruptive innovation? Can the traditional bundled product offer to SMEs (especially the smaller ones) be unpicked? How?

§. What do we need to do to ensure we retain the direct interface with the customer? E.g. do we need to offer third party products and provide independent advice?

§. How do we re-define the role of each channel and the customer value proposition? Could the mobile channel replace the relationship manager altogether for certain simple products and services?

Commentators, analysts and banks recognize four key areas where analytics capability can provide value: • Customer analytics • Integrated risk management • Operational effectiveness • Optimized transaction products

Case Study: North American bank improves payment processing and customer satisfaction

A leading North American institution required real-time information on queued payments to calculate changes in intraday liquidity positions and assess the risk, based on time of day, of all payments not being completed by deadlines. The organization was also striving to improve payments customers’ satisfaction with its call-centre service, seeking insight on customers affected, expected completion and the potential liability of in-flight payments within the bank’s payment system. The operational dashboards made available through IBM’s payments and analytics solutions provided a consolidated real- time view of payments process flows, performance indicators for key customers, and alerts to appropriate team members for out-of-bound payments, bottlenecks and customers at risk. The solution accelerated the bank’s ability to identify and act on events by providing better insight into process bottlenecks. This resulted in improved STP rates, reduced service disruptions and lower operating costs. The net result was increased customer satisfaction by improving payment processing and enhancing information provision.

Bank Austria AG is the clear number one in the Austrian banking industry. With a balance sheet total of around €145 billion, Bank Austria is about double the size of the next largest bank. Bank Austria needed a system with an independent and flexible response to be able to produce efficient ad-hoc reporting whenever it was required.

With Cognos 8 BI, reporting to the parent company is now uniform, and can be achieved much more quickly and at a lower cost than previously. This speed and flexibility are also apparent in the bank’s ad hoc reporting, particularly important in the current economic climate.

With all controlling content consolidated to a single platform, data discrepancies are a problem of the past – the bank can now have total confidence in its data.

IBM case study – Analytics in action: Major European Bank

A major European bank has deployed IBM SPSS predictive analytics to construct an innovative early warning system that detects potential failures among its business customers. It also models the relationships and economic dependencies among them. This allows the bank to predict the impact on the bank (and its other customers) of a business failure by a major client, taking into account the “domino effect” in which one failure may trigger others. It provides an effective safety net by allowing the bank to calculate the maximum risk from a major business failure.
