Recommendation

This Economist Intelligence Unit survey of 203 bank executives from around the globe offers a look into the future of retail banking through 2020. It examines how fintech is upending the consumer banking sector, how cybersecurity concerns are growing and how emerging services like robo-advisers are competing against conventional banks in the wealth management business. getAbstract recommends this useful text to finance professionals and policy makers.

Take-Aways

  • New fintech services, increasing automation and a growing threat of cyberfraud are all affecting the retail banking industry, according to a survey of global bank executives.
  • High-margin product lines, such as wealth management and investment products, face competition from low-fee robo-advisers.
  • Cash is no longer king, with some 54% of all survey respondents agreeing that “cash will represent less than 5% of transactions by 2020.” But customers are likely to remain loyal to their banks due to the safety and security that deposit guarantees provide.
