Big Data in Banking - Thematic Research

Big Data in Banking - Thematic Research

Summary

Today’s digital economy is powered by data. In banking, the challenge is not collecting data - incumbents already have far more data on their customers than new entrants vying for market share. Instead, the challenge is deriving insights from it, as the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated places ever more strain on outdated legacy IT systems. Meanwhile, initiatives like open banking give incumbents less time to upgrade tech platforms, as data is more readily available to various players already set up to derive value from it. And the continual encroachment of tech companies, telcos, and new digital banks raises consumer demand for more personalized, contextual experiences. As such, many retail banks have come to see big data as the central - and most urgent - transformation imperative of digitization.
