European banking industry trends

Digitalization of corporate banking

Corporate banks in Europe are finally making the leap to go digital. This move comes after the increased dissatisfaction among national and multinational companies relating to the quality of service. Back office operations in most banking sector companies have already been digitalized and are expected to soon extend through middle and front office operations.

Growth of Fintech and RegTech

Last year, Fintech and RegTech spending continued to proliferate in EMEA’s emerging markets. As new banking companies are entering a competitive environment, such trends will persist. Banking industry trends such as increasing spending on FinTech and RegTech is intrinsically linked with improving levels of financial inclusiveness.

Open banking standards

In open banking retail/corporate customers are in control of sharing their financial assets and personal data with third-party providers of their choice. An open banking standard prescribes the steps which banking sector companies must take. In Europe, several top banking corporations are making a collaborative effort to create an open API standard.

Technological innovations to promote financial inclusion

One of the most prominent banking industry trends this year will be to connect and reconnect customers to the financial system. Although advancements have been made to bridge the gap between people having access to banking services and those who do not, progress needs to move at a rapid pace. This requires the collaborative efforts of national governments, financial service providers, telcos, and other technology vendors.

Acceleration of platformification

Bundling together multiple services into one online platform is known as platformification. It is aimed at providing an efficient, automated, and integrated customer experience. This consequently drives improved financial and operational performance.
