4. Transform...or become irrelevant...
“Some bankers and analysts think that Google,
Facebook, Amazon or the like will not fully enter a
highly regulated, low-margin business such as banking.
I disagree. What is more, I think banks that are not
prepared for such new competitors face certain
death.” *
Francisco González,
Group Executive Chairman
“The scope and cost of digital business
transformation will increase: Finance players should
reassess their Digital scope and budget — neither are
big enough”
"This digital journey will be painful for most firms, and
executives need to urgently choose and execute a
strategy. Become data-driven, customer-centric and
platform minded will be the best path to success"
Customer Experience Gap – Improve Customer Net

Lack of speed & agility – Compete & grow in new
digital first environments
High cost to serve & acquire customers – New
revenue channels & reduce cost across value chain
Outdated Operating Model – Improve speed by
fostering agility
Expensive & complex operational process – Improve
efficiency by automation
Complex regulatory environments
Build trust - Via enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC),
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Fraud prevention
Questions and issues faced in FSI
* Interview with the New Yorker
5. ● CIO’s dilemma: reassessing of IT
budgets (repurposed), projects paused
● Focus on Availability, Security &
Cloud
● Digital Customer Servicing, Loan/
Lending processing, fraud management
amongst top strategic priorities
...Then COVID-19 accelerated the agenda for CIO’s...
5
● High volatility with increased market risk and counterparty
credit risk
● Revenue crunch leads to massive cost cutting:
branches & people
● Non Performing Loans (NPLs) will lead to credit crunch
● Liquidity and collateral management will be in strong
focus
● Increased operational risk will lead to more digitization
and digital transformation
