Retail Banks Up Investments in Innovation to Stay Ahead of Start-up Rivals: Infosys Finacle-Efma Study

Independent research highlights the stark realities for established banks grappling with competition and changing customer expectations

Bangalore and Paris – November 04, 2015 – Infosys Finacle, part of EdgeVerve Systems, a product subsidiary of Infosys (NYSE: INFY), and Efma, a global not-for-profit organization promoting innovation in retail finance today launched the seventh annual study of ‘Innovation in retail banking’. According to the research, 84% of retail banks have increased their investments in disruptive technologies and innovative services this year to deal with a surge in new industry competitors. This comes at a time when the perceived threat of market disruption in retail banking is mounting.

According to the report, which surveyed over 100 retail banks around the world, approximately three quarters (72%) regard the threat from technology companies, start-ups, retailers and/or telecom players as high or very high. The report highlighted that start-ups introducing new technologies and business models that are counter to established retail banking practices present both challenges and opportunities for banks.

Key Findings:

The research also highlighted that multinational retailers, such as Tesco and Walmart, have launched banking products (independently and in partnership with GoBank, respectively) to compete with established financial services providers. It also explored the success of TransferWise (payments) for its P2P model that undercuts banks and legacy competitors.

Quotes:

Michael Reh, Executive Vice President and CEO (Designate), EdgeVerve:
‘Digitalization continues to massively shake the business foundations of ‘brick and mortar’ banking institutions. Banks need to proactively disrupt themselves and explore working with innovative start-ups to accelerate change and develop a leading edge in a competitive market. To achieve this, a dual strategy will be critical. Banks need new capabilities to help their businesses grow in new ways. They also need to renew their existing systems, opening them up to benefits of mobility, analytics, cloud computing, and connected systems.’

Patrick Desmarès, Secretary General, Efma:
‘This year’s global retail banking study demonstrates that banks are eager to innovate, develop formal innovation practices, and increase their involvement with start-ups. This is a step in the right direction, but retail banks must be confident about the value of their start-up investments in order to collaborate with start-ups.’
