Digital Transformation in Banking – Thematic Research
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Every sector is going digital. Due to the pandemic, consumer behavior began to outpace the channel capabilities of slow-moving incumbent banks, reinvigorating providers around digital transformation imperatives. However, there are clear tensions between tactical time-to-market priorities and the longer-term tech changes required to emancipate providers from legacy.
Institutions that focus on knowing their customer – not just from a regulatory perspective, but in terms of financial impact, behaviors, and prospects – will be best placed to succeed under conditions of expedited change. This will require the operational agility to recalibrate customer personas, risk models, and channel propositions.
The digital transformation in banking sector research report will help you to understand key technology, macroeconomic and political, and regulatory trends characterizing digital transformation efforts at incumbent banks.

Digital transformation in Banking – Industry Analysis
In 2017, online was significantly more popular for a greater range of tasks than mobile is in 2020. Meanwhile, telephone banking, once a forgotten channel amid digitization, has made gains as branch usage has reduced. The preference for telephone banking has notably increased for more complex queries such as making a complaint or querying transactions, but it has risen for all other tasks too.

Digital transformation in Banking - Value Chain Analysis
GlobalData’s digital transformation value chain consists of core banking/legacy systems (transaction processing), digital banking platforms (front-end channels), API management/strategy (middleware), money management/data infrastructure, and niche fintech partners.
Middleware: APIs have become the great enablers of digital transformation. Rather than optimize business structures, processes, and technologies for anyone’s one-to-one partnership, public APIs enable banks to optimize for all possible partnerships. This brings economies of scale and scope to partnering.
Niche fintech partners: Partnerships have been critical to expanding access to new products and processes at pace. In a COVID context, one recent example is Tully, providing a free-to-consumer digital outsourcing service that registers consumer applications, validates eligibility for payment relief, and shares that information with relevant partners in the network.

Scope
- Banks’ channel migration efforts have not met expectations. Many commentators expected mobile to quickly displace all other channels, with attendant risks that consumer behavior could outpace banks’ channel capabilities. But this situation has not transpired.
- Banks that view digital transformation as building new capabilities – around cloud, API, big data, etc. – tend to score better in terms of customer satisfaction, cost reduction, and operational agility than those that have merely digitized existing analog processes.
- Leading institutions have prioritized core decision-making processes. Credit-related activities typically cut across front-office, risk management, and back-office procedures; integrating these actions into one straight-through process offers the biggest efficiency gains.
