Beyond Banking for Consumers – The Next Frontier

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

This report provides an overview and analysis of the current state of beyond banking and ecosystem banking. It highlights some of the existing beyond banking solutions global incumbents have implemented across the likes of financial wellness and education, marketplace and lifestyle benefits, community engagement and education, and housing-related services. The report also provides an outlook for the beyond banking space, including future opportunities and considerations for stakeholders across the current banking products and services value chain.

Beyond banking involves banks increasingly offering an unconventional range of non-core products and value propositions that expand beyond the core set of financial products and traditional banking activities, to provide a more enhanced and holistic value proposition. The growing pressure for incumbent banks to innovate comes in one part from both financial and non-financial challengers entering and disrupting the financial services industry with innovative products and services. The likes of PayPal and Nubank brought about permanent disruption in the payments and banking industries respectively, while Big Techs increasingly move into the industry as some aim to build superapps. Added financial pressures persist in 2025 as monetary easing decreases interest margins, with costs already spiralling.

Scope

• Incumbents remain the preferred provider for traditional banking products for over half of GlobalData’s 2024 Financial Services Consumer Survey respondents globally; just under half would use them for non-traditional activities.

• The remaining product market shares (42–56%) are fairly evenly split between challenger types, showing that they are past being just a single-use tool and rather serve as a complete provider for all financial needs.

• Although SME beyond banking initiatives lead the space currently, retail banks will continue to be pushed to innovate and diversify products due to disruptions from AI, fintech firms, Big Tech companies, superapps, and potentially thinning lending margins.

Reasons to Buy

• Understand how beyond banking, once focused on SMEs, can be adapted to meet evolving consumer needs.

• Explore opportunities for banks to embed lifestyle, wellness, and value-added services into consumer offerings.

• Gain insights into how financial institutions can build deeper relationships by supporting broader life goals, not just financial transactions.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
