In developed markets, fintech
innovations are primarily aimed
at improving the user experience
for tech- and financial literacy
advanced people. But, for the
billions around the world with-
out access to traditional financial
services, fintech innovations
go well beyond convenience.
Fintech could be their ticket to
financial inclusiveness and
membership in the global digital
economy.

22. Challenges for Fintech evolution in Asia

investing efforts into developing
strategies for facilitating

Platforms support the rapid cycle deployment

As the financial world is rapidly moving to open, loosely coupled marketplaces,
any bank with old legacy technology will start to look like a dinosaur

32. APIs and Open Banking will start to shift the banking landscape with more traction in Europe and
Asia, but we’re likely to start seeing the gap between leaders and laggards widen
William Sullivan, Head of Global Financial Services Intelligence for CapGemini
The hype around banking APIs will increase, even overtaking cryptocurrencies.
Major banks will launch public API platforms.
APIs are arguably one of the biggest topics in the industry.
The business model for profiting as a platform is key here, and many are still struggling with it
Global regulators will embrace fintech competition and regulatory concessions …
Africa will embrace APIs … financial inclusion will become a mainstream and actionable topic …
and the US will embrace change in the regulatory and political system
2017 will be the year of open marketplaces and platforms

Open Banking and APIs – What else …
Simon Taylor, Co-Founder of 11:FS

33. Bank-as-a-service is a
technological platform
with a suite of APIs, that
integrates seamlessly with
any existing back-office
of traditional banks and
provides for non-banks
a cost-effective, easy
and fast way to launch
various financial products.
Bank-as-a-Service do not
compete either with banks
or fintech, instead it’s a
ecosystem builder that
connects all players
of financial indsutry,
provide them new
revenue streams
and products for their
customers.
Bank-as-a-Service (BaaS): solution to
address Fintech challenges in Asia
Chris Skinner
one of the TOP5 fintech-influencers
and predictors, author of bestsellers
“Digital Bank” and “Value Web”,
managing partner of the
BB Fund in London
”
You’re probably all familiar with SaaS –
it’s basically paying for applications as you
use them, rather than buying them.
These services used to cost you a fortune,
but are now free or near enough. That’s
where banking is going. Banking
becomes plug and play apps you stitch
together to suit your business or lifestyle.
There’s no logical reason why Banking
shouldn’t be delivered as SaaS.
”
This is the future bank, and old banks will
need to reconsider their services to compete
with this zero margin model.
”
...anyone in the near future would be
able to build their own bank through
apps, APIs and analytics.

The real impact of fintech in developed countries will be felt in the

to transform some banking operations for the better.

36. Successful
Partnership
Clearly, not all of today’s banks will survive. The survivors will be those that reimagine
relationships with their customers and partners.
Fintech offers banks access to technologies, brings new ideas to market at speed,
enables to add value from bank’s data and changes bank’s culture
Why banks need FinTech?
Acces to ideas
Acces to new technology
Acces to agility: speed to market
Acces to expertise around data
Exposure to different culture
Acces to customers - trust, inertia
Acces to clearing and Central Bank
settlement
Acces to in-depth payments expertise
Acces to data
Avoidance of regulation
Why FinTech need banks?
Banks and Fintech. For what reason?

37. Key initiatives in bank-as-a-service
and open banking areas
BAASIS, launched in 2016 in Singapore, is
an open-API Bank-as-a-Service platform,
aimed to connect banks and FinTech
startups across Asia Pacific region. Currently
is in integration phase with several banks on
different markets.
In 1H 2016 was launched solarisBank,
banking-as-a-platform startup with a full
banking license in Germany. It provides
account and transaction services, compli-
ance and trust solutions, working capital
financing, and online loans for fintech
startups.
Bancorp – industry leading US-based
largest bank-as-a-service platform, hosting
100+ non-banks with processing volume of
$200+ billion USD annually. Different
clients of different size, including google
wallet, PayPal, T-Mobile, yodlee and others
In 4Q 2016 Citi launched global API
Developer Portal aimed to open architec-
ture to facilitate collaboration with FinTech
companies. APIs includes account
management, p2p payments, money
transfer, rewards, investment purchases
and account authorization.
Otkritie, the biggest privately-owned bank
in Russia, through the process of integrat-
ing with leading digital bank for SMEs
Tochka, developed its own modern
API-platform, that was later used to
integrate with fintech startups, including
mobile bank for retail clients Rocketbank.
In 2H 2016 BBVA launched its API market-
place, aimed to offer other companies a
way to leverage BBVA’s capabilities to build
their services. Fintech startups has an
access to such APIs as PayStats, Connect,
Accounts and Cards
The UK government in 2016 has set up the
Open Banking Working Group (OBWG) in
order to create an open banking standard
that makes it easy to share and use financial
data. It includes development of open API to
enable services to be built using bank and
customer data
In Q4 2016 the Korean Government
launched an open banking platform for
financial institutions (16 banks) that will allow
them to build services that automatically
populate financial information for new
customers. The platform will essentially serve
as database of consumer financial informa-
tion that is accessible via API.
In 4Q 2016 The Monetary Authority of
Singapore (MAS) published 12 sets of data
from MAS’ Monthly Statistical Bulletin as APIs.
MAS is encouraging financial industry players
to publish open APIs on their datasets, to
allow users to connect information and offer
innovative solutions
Startups and tech companies Banks Government initiatives

38. Business/Operating Model: The BBVA Story
BBVA’s leadership has reiterated its commitment to digital since 2015
But BBVA cannot simply embark on a complete redesign of its business — especially when the ideal
target operating model is not clear
A good way forward in this type of scenario is to run experiments — they have invested in “beta banks”
across the globe in markets not primary to them
Aimed to find the optimal operating model that could potentially be at the core of the new BBVA
Following the investment in Simple in 2014 they have invested in Atom in the UK and Holvi in Finland
They are all very innovative approach — superb CX focus, based in markets where they
do not compete with an established BBVA entity
For BBVA this is a well-hedged gamble: invest a few hundred million dollars to get a well-tested,
blueprint of the bank of the future
