OPEN INNOVATION • The traditional bank closed proprietary approach is ill-suited to the open architectures of today. • Open API framework of PSD2 reinforces the collaborative and interoperable environment that financial services must operate to win customer support and trust 2. COLLABORATION • Banks and Fintech occupy opposing cultures of completely different development cycles (slow build v rapid development / Proven and tested v experimental and novel) • Banks benefit from collaborating with different non-traditional sectors to harness their intellectual creativity and vitality • Fintechs benefit and leverage the deep domain knowledge that the banking sector possesses FINTECH & THE BANKING ECOSYSTEM 3. PARTNERSHIPS • Expansion of the digital economy - core consumer and business touchpoints are digital channels and mobile devices • Increased willingness by banks to strategically partner with Fintechs to engage with these channels 4. DATA INSIGHTS • Value from customer insights utilising data science and predictive analytics • New innovative service and product opportunities that leverage customer big data and derive context from payments • Approach harnesses core banking domain expertise and technology innovation of Fintechs Thank You Have a good EBAday !
