Key Highlights
Pressure from regulators and the drive to reduce costs will force banks to rationalize their product ranges. This reduction in complexity will result in more customer-centric portfolios, which will in turn drive higher levels of cross-selling.
Banks will increasingly outsource their product innovation to third parties. They will use "accelerator" programs to mentor financial technology specialists and leverage their expertize to bring new ideas to market in shorter time periods and at lower cost.
New entrants will target particular niches, forcing incumbents to start segmenting their consumer propositions in response, for example by creating digital-only providers or brands targeted at the youth market.
