  • The Rise of the Neo-Bank

    The Rise of the Neo-Bank

    The rise of the neo-bank yieldreport.com.au/insights/the-rise-of-the-neo-bank/ 13 January 2020 By guest contributor Jake Jodlowski, Principal, Atchison Consultants Given the continued reputational damage suffered by the big four Australian banks throughout and post the Banking Royal Commission hearings, bank customers and investors may be looking for alternatives. Whilst still in its infancy, Australia’s banking and credit start-up sector has grown leaps and bounds in recent years, with Afterpay Touch Group (ASX: APT) and Zip Co Limited (ASX: ZIP) being high-profile examples. Although the “buy-now, pay-later” (BNPL) sector has received most of the media coverage, the development of so-called “neo-banks” has also started to gain momentum. Neo-banks are best described as traditional banks without a bricks and mortar presence, with their entire offering supplied through digital means, usually through an app and on-line platform. They are fully functioning deposit-taking institutions and therefore fall under the supervision of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). APRA must provide a license before an institution may accept customer deposits. An unrestricted banking license permits a corporation to operate as a “banking business” and therefore an authorized deposit-taking institution (ADI) without restrictions under the Banking Act 1959. Part 5 of the Banking Act defines “banking business” as consisting of both taking deposits (other than as part-payment for identified goods and services) and making advances of money, as well as other financial activities prescribed by regulations made under the Banking Act. The arrival of neo-banking in Australia follows the emergence of start-up banks like Monzo and Starling in the UK.

Ok, so not back to full capacity just yet, but we have seen a number of funds, banks & professional services firms return in some form to the office – week on/week off, book your desk with capacity % limits, split teams & floors, the list goes on. As a result, the corresponding increase in face to face meetings in offices, coffee shops or even over lunch - dare we say it is feeling almost a little more “normal“ around town. We at JMES have a sense that many are yearning to be back in the office in some form. The camaraderie created by spending time with colleagues side by side in the trenches surely trumps the back to back monotony of non-stop Zoom calls tied to a laptop at home. So, what next for 2021? We have all seen the high-profile new entrants in Barrenjoey & Jarden providing some market disruption. But there have also been other good examples of clients (funds, banks, corporates and government agencies) committed to completing hiring processes in Q3 and into Q4 – so whilst certainly not back to 2019 volumes, there is positive hiring momentum. A number of our clients have kicked off processes to ensure starters in place for Q1 of 2021, and notably, these are not just replacement hires but newly created roles, surely providing a level of confidence heading into the new year.

    Finastra Universe 2017 Was a Resounding Success, Breaking All of Our Previous Records

    7 - 8 NOVEMBER 2017 - DUBAI POST-EVENT SUMMARY SPONSORED BY: HOSTED BY: Platinum Sponsor Gold Sponsor Silver Sponsor THE FIRST AND THIRD A YEAR OF RE-BIRTH AN OPEN FUTURE Finastra Universe 2017 was a resounding success, breaking all of our previous records. The attendance at Finastra Universe this year highlights that the regional financial services market is increasingly subscribing to a policy of change, as digital transformation catches up with us. To counter the growing competition seen from new FinTechs, it is becoming critically important for the more traditional financial service instututions to embrace innovative technological solutions, becoming the disruptors rather Wissam Khoury Managing Director than the disrupted. Middle East, Africa & South Asia We are at an inflection point, with the next few years determining the new Finastra financial services landscape; one driven by the dynamic needs of our client-base instead of our competitive environment. Finastra Universe 2017 offered an unparralled exploration of that future, drawing together many of the region’s leading FinTech and banking experts to begin the process of building a roadmap to help us develop the solutions of tomorrow. An evolution of the Misys Connect Forum, Finastra Universe grew from the merger this year of Misys and D+H Insight. Our third annual event and the first of a new breed, our goal was to further the regional conversion on the challenges our market faces and, with over 330 attendees and more than 50 speakers covering the spectrum of financial service instutions, FinTechs and new market incumbents, we’ve laid the groundwork to continue that process as we move into 2018.
