FinTech is no longer a passing trend but a profitable venue for startups and financial incumbents.
Banks and financial institutions embrace the shift towards digital to capture the value of the growing segment of digitally active customers and reduce capital and operational expenses.
While SupTech and RegTech companies ensure the global economy does not see the repeat of the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and strive to protect sensitive data, FinTechs' goal is to develop a mobile banking application full of customer-facing features.
The apps gain popularity across the globe, despite security concerns, help companies add value throughout the customer journey, expand their ecosystems, and enter promising new markets.
Let's delve deeper into each crucial facet of banking app development and their business impact.
Over the last decade, the Fintech landscape has grown by an annual rate of about 24% across developed nations within Europe, North America, and Asia according to an overview of market developments by EY. As this growth has become amplified, we see Fintechs proving to have a considerable impact on the financial industry in the way of innovative, customer-friendly solutions that offer greater flexibility than current options provided by traditional institutions. While this works in developed nations, where the customer base wants flexibility, in underdeveloped nations like Sub-Saharan Africa, there is massive potential.
Here is how Fintechs are helping African Nations transition from being unbanked or underbanked to financial inclusion.
OneConnect Financial Technology Co. Ltd. (“OneConnect”, NYSE: OCFT), a leading TaaS company for financial institutions in China, has been appointed by Abu Dhabi Global Market (“ADGM”), the award winning International Financial Centre in Abu Dhabi, to support the development of the ADGM Digital Lab.
The ADGM Digital Lab is a digital platform where financial institutions (“FIs”) and FinTech firms can collaborate, test and develop innovative solutions for the financial services sector, with direct participation from ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (“FSRA”).In recent years, digital innovation has become a focal point in Abu Dhabi’s plans and initiatives in building a knowledge-based economy to support economic growth and diversification.
Since its establishment in October 2015, ADGM has led significant efforts in accelerating the digital transformation of the financial services sector in the Middle East.
The Digital Lab is one such initiative to address the key challenges FIs and FinTechs encounter in their ability to deploy and scale innovation.
In particular:– FIs lack access to platforms to test and experiment with prospective FinTech solutions prior to procurement approvals and commercial agreement;– FIs encounter major difficulties and costs to integrate their legacy banking systems with FinTech solutions; and– FinTechs are overburdened with procurement processes and costs incurred each time they interact with the banks.Leveraging the ADGM Digital Lab, FIs such as banks can enable rapid prototyping by:– Replicating their operating systems within the testing environment of the Lab;– Choosing from an ecosystem of FinTech solutions to test new product offerings or replace legacy infrastructure; and– Developing new business models and picking and choosing components from different FinTech providers.Through collaboration between industry and regulators, the Digital Lab aims to create a trusted marketplace for experimentation to build the enablers for the smart financial centre of the future.OneConnect’s collaboration with ADGM on the Digital Lab is its first landing project in the Middle East.
As early as July 22, 2019, OneConnect signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ADGM to jointly promote and develop FinTech innovation, ecosystems and market opportunities that will support and connect the economies in both the Belt-and Road corridor and the Middle East and North Africa region.
