Shopping for books on Amazon is as easy as provisioning extra cloud computing instances in AWS (if you know what you\u2019re doing).<\/p>\n<p>Banks, however, are far from being as comprehensive or convenient when it comes to providing even a core service such as fast money transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Payments have already been massively eroded by FinTechs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/ca-en\/company-news-release-big-bets-in-payments\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sixty percent of bank executives<\/a> believe their institution will lose up to 15% of payment revenues to non-banking competitors in the next three years.<\/p>\n<p><b>But incumbents still have many strengths, especially in areas such as lending, wealth management, long-term savings, and pension investments<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>By integrating data from third-party platforms, you can attract customers with better deposit offers, use alternative data in making lending decisions (or even fully automate the <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/loan-origination-process\/\">loan origination process<\/a>), and extend more personalized products to low-risk customers you have acquired.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond improving the customer experience, open finance opens up a wider range of B2B partnerships. The Australian Westpac bank, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/news\/banking\/2020\/afterpay-teams-with-westpac-to-offer-banking-services\/\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teamed up with Afterpay<\/a> last year to provide customers of the pay later provider with savings accounts. Stripe recently <a href=\"https:\/\/stripe.com\/newsroom\/news\/treasury\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">launched the Stripe Treasury service<\/a>, backed by Goldman Sachs, Bank USA, Barclays, and Citibank, which enables Stripe users to embed financial services into their operations.<\/p>\n<p>Other incumbents are taking an enabler stance and attracting extra revenue through banking as a service offerings. The benefits are two-fold. Apart from earning a leasing fee for the supplied financial infrastructure, banks gain access to a platform\u2019s user data, which, in turn, they can leverage to attract, onboard, and cross-sell to those users. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliverwyman.com\/our-expertise\/insights\/2021\/mar\/the-rise-of-banking-as-a-service.html\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oliver Wyman\u2019s research<\/a> estimates that customer acquisition costs via BaaS fall in the $5 to $35 range versus $100 to $200 for traditional routes.<\/p>\n<h2>Start opening up to new opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>Competition now happens at a platform rather than solution level. As most finances have gone digital, consumers have an easier time switching to a new provider that may offer less friction and lower costs.<\/p>\n<p>Banks no longer control the end-to-end value chain. At best, they hold the fort until consumers find a better deal. But this shouldn\u2019t be the case. Rather than letting people flock out of your ecosystem, you can prompt them to stay within it by bringing the financial tools they need to their doorstep \u2014 and be the one-stop-shop banking app many now seek.<\/p>\n<p>Technologically, both banks and FinTechs have all the means to break down the complex barriers of integrating data. Certainly, integrations are still a complex matter. But they\u2019re feasible.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, you still hold the most customer and market data insights. It\u2019s time to put them to better use.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/contact\/\">Contact Intellias<\/a> to receive a consultation on how you can sustainably adapt your banking systems with new integrations.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finance has long been a closed ecosystem, where exchanging customer data puts institutions at compliance risks.
