Multiple opportunities for banks and other organisations to develop and improve the digital banking landscape in Africa.  However, how many banks would be prepared to 'share' the customer ownership they have today?

Fintech firms will eventually mature and move from merely licensing their platforms, etc., to the banks to disintermediation, i.e., becoming the known brand and being the face of banking.  There's no loyalty owed to established banks by the younger, tech-savvy generation - they merely want a service delivered seamlessly, quickly and, preferably, at a lower cost.

Looking at banking in the cloud, where core systems can be shared rather than trying to be used as another USP, will accelerate the relationship change and potentially further de-link customers from their actual bank.
