During the pandemic, it seems fintechs have had agility on their side – demonstrating strong resilience by continuing to attract investor attention. Today, these disruptive players must plan for the future, by identifying new ways to grow and expand their customer base, orchestrating ecosystems, and further monetising their capabilities.

Incumbent banks, meanwhile, traditionally have on their side the lion’s share of customer trust – by reason of their deep-rooted and historic relationship with end-users. To beat fintechs in the race for market supremacy, however, established organisations must now focus their crosshairs on becoming fully-fledged digital banks. Much like a fintech, this would enable them to be unrestricted by geography, and penetrate new markets. Indeed, by fortifying their heritage, and leveraging their core strengths and relationships, incumbents can become an experiential and sustainable institution of the future.

Yet, for traditional banks, decades of operational patches change have created intertwined, complex, and costly layers of legacy technologies. Once again, digital transformation is the answer, albeit resource intensive.
