Episode 1: Non-financial services companies getting into payments – why banks should pay attention

The open banking market is increasingly attracting non-financial companies. PSD2 licenses create a tremendous amount of opportunities for retailers, airline companies and many others. This not only disrupts the traditional business models of banks, it’s also a reaction to the increasing competition from BigTechs.

Episode 3: Screen scraping – a balancing act for banks

The EU’s PSD2 aimed to bolster data sharing between banks and third party providers (TPPs) while increasing the safety standards for customers. While the regulation steered banks to share customer data in a controlled way via APIs, many TPPs still rely on screen scraping, giving them unrestricted access to banks’ customer data. In the absence of strict regulation, banks will need to act to balance the benefits and risks properly.

Episode 4: Big Tech into payments data – scary or exciting?

BigTechs have been disrupting the payment industry for some time now. Their new functionalities enabled by for instance semantic search technology will likely attract even more customers. Or should we be scared by the increasing involvement of BigTechs in our life?

Episode 5: Quantum computing – the future of risk management?

Quantum technologies are predicted to be one of the next big disruptive technologies, offering the possibility of solving previously intractable problems. Risk models can have many parameters, influencing the risk. This means that classical computers require a lot of computation power. Banks can leverage quantum risk simulations to improve their risk modelling, making the models faster and more accurate. This allows banks to always work with up-to-date models. Though quantum computers might offer a lot of opportunities, on the other hand quantum computers might also pose a threat on security. Financial institutions must prepare to make their systems and sensitive data ‘quantum-safe’.

Episode 7: ESG compliance: what are the new challenges for banks?

Whilst sustainability is shifting from a hobby for a small group of do-gooders into a full-grown boardroom priority, financial institutions struggle to implement ESG regulations. Sustainability is not only an additional risk type, but a transformation changing the way financial institutions conduct their business. If you want to know more about implementing ESG regulations and the lessons learned, watch the video.

Episode 8: Banking Insights: Payments & Retail

Episode 9: Non-PSD2 APIs: a new channel for banks to enrich their offer?

An increasing number of banks are selling data and solutions via APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). APIs are thus opening up a new sales channel for banks, although monetizing APIs remains a challenge. As the European open finance market is expected to keep growing, driven amongst others by the European Union’s intention to require more sectors to open up their data, we advise our customers to pay close attention to this emerging new market space.
