Oct 29, 2019

Over the past couple of years, Canadian banks have set a global standard for their stability and best practices. However, the pressure on retail banking companies and other financial institutions in Canada remains high. This is making innovation and customer satisfaction more important than ever before for players in the retail banking sector. Innovators in the retail banking industry are moving towards a seamless, one-stop-shop approach to service and engagement via digital platforms that bring products and services together to provide a unified customer experience.

Interestingly, technology is not the only factor that’s disrupting the industry; it is also characterized by the rising need for customer-centric experiences, and this is driving every transaction and touchpoint for companies in the sector. Here are some critical retail banking trends that experts at Infiniti expect will lead the momentum of the financial sector in Canada.

Unbundling services

Canada will soon be exposed to open banking regulations that will fragment traditional retail asset and liability gatherings. Open banking refers to common interfaces among banks and third parties to facilitate more competition and also create new business opportunities. Although retail banking companies had sought a vertical approach that offers services from top to bottom over several decades, now several new entrants in the banking industry want to be ‘horizontal’ and dominate an attractive specialty.
