This document discusses the disruption of traditional financial services by new technologies and business models. Key points:
- Consumer expectations and behaviors are changing, driven by new offerings from financial technology (Fintech) startups. Younger consumers especially expect more digital and personalized services.
- Most components of traditional banking value propositions are being disrupted, including payments, lending, wealth management, and core banking services. Niche Fintech players are targeting these areas.
- Banks are responding by incubating new business models, partnering with Fintech firms, and integrating new technologies into their own offerings like mobile payments. However, some see technology reducing banks' role to "dumb pipes."

A New Paradigm for Legacy Financial Services

2. What does changing customer
behavior mean for businesses that
haven’t also changed?
What happened to Telecom in the 1990s, Music and Media in the 2000s and
CPGs in the early 2010s is now happening to FS.
“Mortal locks” that previously held customers’ wallets, checkbooks and portfolios
are springing open, due to new business models from FinTech disruptors, and
highly receptive younger consumers.
Our clients businesses are stuck, and our clients are confused and lack marketing
and product direction. They need recommendations and solutions that are highly
specific to the FS industry and its particular disruption, and point to pathways to
growth.

CORE BANKING – all-digital offerings from Voya, Simple, Hello, etc.

8. NICHE FINTECH PLAYERS ARE DISRUPTING MOST
COMPONENTS OF THE BANKING VALUE PROPOSITIONS
FinTech is “what’s next” – it
seeks to own the customer
relationship, by automating or
aggregating ‘intelligence’ –
through AI, Blockchain, etc.
There’s a risk the technology
could reduce banks to just
“dumb pipes” — simply
infrastructure providers who
let more nimble FinTechs
funnel money around, deal
with clients, and, as a result,
take home the bulk of fees.
Source: CB Insights, 2015
9. THREE APPROACHES BANKS ARE
TAKING V. FINTECH
INCUBATE –
Foster and steward new
business models within
the bank, to prepare for
the changing landscape
PARTNER –
Don’t fight FinTech, but
reach out with
customer base, brand
and regulatory
adeptness
INTEGRATE –
Open your own apps and
tools to work with other
platforms, to build
network effects for your
users

13. INTEGRATE – PARTICIPATING IN THE MOBILE PAYMENT
EXPLOSION
Capital One became the first U.S. bank to release tap-to-pay functionality in its Android app, giving in-
store shoppers a way to pay with their phones that’s powered by a financial institution they trust.
Industry insiders believe other U.S. banks will follow suit, using a technology newly built into Android’s
operating system.
Shoppers will have more choices for mobile payments, and Android Pay and Samsung Pay mobile
payment services may lose out on attracting users who trust their bank’s app for payments more than
one made by a big tech company.

18. BANKS MUST LEVERAGE THREE KEY ASSETS TO PREPARE FOR
THE NEXT PARADIGM
18
Large identifiable customer-bases –
It’s harder to win new customers than to keep those you have, so banks will have a
leg up on FinTech if they use customer data wisely
Unmatched experience with burdensome regulation –
FinTech will face a day of reckoning when it must face regulation, and banks can
help
A strong track record of safekeeping assets and earning trust –
Category trust and credibility have been tested, but this will always be a
differentiator for the best brands, e.g. Wells Fargo
