Change; it’s no longer an uncommon phenomenon. It’s a constant state of being. And the financial services industry is at the forefront of it.
Rapidly advancing technologies, evolving customer expectations and shifting regulatory frameworks are hurtling at businesses, shaping a new world of disruptive innovation for financial institutions. These changes are not unexpected. Neither are they random. They reflect areas where your customers want to connect and have their needs met, and the capabilities you should develop to meet them there.
It has become very apparent that financial services will become a set of capabilities rather than an industry. These will be capabilities that can be provided to many and shared by all. Essentially, the traditional financial services industry will need to become perimeterless.
The future is AI-powered, human-centred and experience-led

Over the next decade, the needs, wants and behaviours of your customer will continue to evolve. While their expectations of digital solutions have increased, they are also becoming time-poor with too many digital services on offer. Convenience and personalisation are top priorities. They expect hyper-personalised experiences that cater to them in more specific and amplified ways. |

Sustainability is going mainstream. As regulators, consumers and investors focus on the importance of evaluating investments and corporate performance through an environmental, social and governance (ESG) lens, financial services will need to focus on responsible business practices and reduce their negative ESG exposure of their portfolios. |

What does this mean for financial services? Companies will need to have their processes and controls in place to provide sustainability information of the same quality, and at the same time, as their financial information. It is also imperative that they explore ways to create value that extends beyond pure financial returns, whether that is mitigating the effects of climate change or contributing to social causes. |
