Open banking, which is based on data sharing, is poised
to be the next wave of digital transformation in the financial sector in Asia
Pacific. It is unlikely to be a short-lived trend, and has gained momentum
because of the extra push from regulators, who generally support it and in some
countries mandate it.

In this white paper, a joint venture by Microsoft, Linklaters and Accenture, in which our very own Rohini Goyal – APAC Digital Strategist at Temenos contributed to, explores the various drivers behind open banking in Asia Pacific, as well as the challenges financial institutions and regulators will have to address to ensure all participants can reap the benefits. In conclusion, the white paper offers recommendations to the industry and regulators towards the successful adoption and advantages of open banking.

This white
paper includes the insights and perspectives of over a dozen interviewees
representing different parts of the open banking ecosystem, including incumbent
financial institutions, fintechs, technology companies, consultancies and
others.

 

With open banking, “unless you’re adding value for the end customer, it won’t stick.”

Asia’s emerging markets are among the world’s fastest-growing economies, and their growth is fueling an expansion of the middle class, both in size and financial clout.

By 2030, the region will accommodate two-thirds of the global middle class population, according to the OECD. In China alone, the middle class is expected to swell to almost 1.2 billion people in the same time period. As a result, the world’s purchasing power center is gradually shifting from West to East.

This trajectory will have significant implications for the financial services industry, especially when it comes to wealth management. However, despite these changing dynamics, many in the sector remain focused on serving deep-pocketed clients. At Temenos, it is our view that Asia’s burgeoning mass affluent market offers vital opportunities, and fintech developments pave the way to make the most of them.

However, this is not a one size fits all utopia, in fact quite the opposite. Payment owners need to carefully navigate and evaluate on a number of strategic choices available to them today via cloud. This is based on their business context and ranges from which cloud-based solution to opt for, and how it’s going to be deployed and delivered, to the scope of services they want to be covered in their arrangements.

This research report from Celent puts a spotlight on the key factors that payment leaders need to incorporate in their thinking when determining the right cloud solution for their needs.

Digital means instant, transparent and seamless and increasingly, Islamic banking customers expect their bank experience to also offer this approach. Banking should be no different from interacting with those services that support our digital lives such as Amazon, UAE ride-sharing service Careem, and Google, etc. Fail to offer an intuitive, similar banking experience and you fail to meet the expectations of the new tech-savvy Generation Z audience that are soon to be your dominant target customers. Digital Islamic banking isn’t the future, it’s the now, but there are risks.

Cybercriminals love digital, in fact, smartphone platforms are the second most targeted platform by hackers after Windows. The GCC, in particular, is being hit hard.
