Traditional insurance companies and banks are facing enormous challenges, not least due to high regulatory and digitalization pressure. Neobanks and digital insurance brokerage platforms have also been active in Germanfor years and, enabled by open banking initiatives, are pushing into the customer interface.
Masterclass: Future of X - Financial Services
The future of banks and financial service providers
However, not only fintechs and insurtechs but also international digital groups, equipped with European or German banking licenses, have expanded their service portfolios to include financial services in the areas of payment and insurance, among others. While some traditional financial services providers are still working on the implementation of initial online and mobile offerings at different points in the customer journey, the next wave of technology with disruptive potential is already poised for mass adoption with decentralization in the form of distributed ledger technologies and the increasing emergence of blockchain-based DeFi (Decentralized Finance) offerings. The introduction of robotic process automation (RPA) systems is forcing financial service providers to look at artificial intelligence and its ethical and correct use, and already today, increasing cybersecurity risks mean that the IT departments of these companies need to learn about topics such as cryptography in a post-quantum world or launch initial pilot projects in order to be future-proof.
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria must be taken into account, as must the consistent testing of new business models in an increasingly volatile financial world in which software is being developed at unprecedented speed by citizen developers in the specialist departments. Agile and hybrid working is becoming the new normal, and the talent development team has a special role to play in making live long learning an attractive proposition for employees.
