What’s keeping bankers awake at night in 2017 – and what’s helping them leap out of bed in the morning, ready to help make customers’ financial dreams come true?
We got a glimpse of this at Bank Innovation 2017, our invite-only event in Silicon Valley earlier this month. (If you missed the action and are interested to see the flow of ideas/snark on Twitter, check out the hashtag #gofintech.)
From banks’ battle/lovefest with fintech startups to chatbots to blockchain, here are some innovation ideas to chew on as spring arrives (at least in theory – brrr!).
Fintechs that (still) look to disrupt banks won’t succeed. Facebooks and Googles of the world can get into payments all they want, but banks will, eventually, come out on top of tech giants in the battle for customer experiences.
That’s according to Fiserv CEO Jeff Yabuki, who added that banks will need allies in this battle, which represents a huge opportunity for fintech startups.
