Future of Banking
Retail Banking 2025 and beyond
The retail banking industry is undergoing tremendous change. A few years ago, it was a fairly straightforward business, but today, technology and innovation, increasing competition, regulatory complexity, embedded finance, consolidation, and evolving customer expectations are placing immense pressure on traditional business models. This intricate and evolving web of trends influences whom consumers trust and how they prefer to conduct their financial lives. It also forces banks to address the fundamental question of what a financial institution is—and what value it provides.
For leadership teams at incumbent retail banks, now is the time to better understand these trends and prepare for a rapidly changing environment. To help, we activated our community of solvers and developed five hypothetical scenarios for how the future of the sector could play out over the next decade.

Relevance formula
The relevance that banks have for interested parties is the product of three factors: Trust, Convenience and Low costs. The higher each of these three factors are in the formula, the higher the relevance of the banks. None of the factors can be very low or negative.
Relevance = Convenience x low cost x trust
Convenience can be a distinctive, added value of banks for their clients. By convenience we mean, among other things, the degree to which clients are satisfied with their user experiences in relation to the product and services provided by banks and about the speed, stability and simplicity which they experience in the interaction and communication with banks via their chosen channel.

Trust means that banks are reliable, in other words predictable, transparent and honest to their clients. By trust we also mean the degree to which banks can make a useful and valuable contribution to the society of which they are part of. This is the foundation for their relevance of banks.
