service supports both NFC-based mobile payment
systems, as well as those that only support magnetic

"Magnetic Secure Transmission" , which transmits card
data to a payment terminal's swipe slot using an
electromagnetic field, causing the terminal to register it
as if it were a normal magnetic stripe. LoopPay's
developers stated that because of this design, the
technology would work with "nearly 90%" of all point-of-

19. As the existing banking model is unbundled, everything
about our financial services experience will change. In five - ten
years, the industry will look fundamentally different. There will be
a host of new providers and innovative new services. Some banks
will take digital transformation seriously, others will buy their
way into the future by taking over challengers and some will lose
out. Some segments will be almost universally controlled by non-
banks; other segments will be better within the structural
advantages of a bank. Across the board, consumers will benefit as
players will compete on innovation and customer experience.
