OPPORTUNITY
BaaS’ drive of Innovation in the Digital Payments space : As customers move to alternate providers in search of better experience and offerings, banks, given the wealth of data and customer trust they hold, are to create their own BaaS platforms. While non-bank businesses will require traditional financial institutions to provide them with the infrastructure, regulatory support as well as the utilization of APIs, financial institutions on the other hand can generate new revenue streams leveraging BaaS. Neobanks and fintech firms while providing a seamless digital banking experience, however need a bank to offer cards, lending, money transfers, and other banking services. Hence, BaaS seems to be becoming the solution to banking service needs of fintech firms and neobanks – offers an opportunity for incumbent banks to widen their offerings, while being the custodian of the customer’s interests, to enable banks enhance their reach with offerings that go beyond banking products, thereby improving their engagement with customers.
