WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR BANKS?

 

There are many factors at the heart of the redesign and remodeling of banks, its business lines and its functions:

​

  • The development of disruptive technologies (blockchain)

  • Evolution of various forms of currency (cryptocurrencies)

  • Transformation of customers’ needs and expectations (digital, flexibility, customization, standardization)

  • The rise of new players in the financial services market (fintechs, crowdfunding - crowdlending – crowdequity, robot-advisors)

  • The opportunities presented by Artificial Intelligence and data mining (Big Data)

 

 

Banks must adapt, and the future offers countless possibilities.
