Finance Services Insights and Perspective
Context
- Banking and financial services companies have traditionally been slow to innovate, but COVID-19 has forced disruption across the industry, accelerating the move to digital and the need to update legacy architecture (Kognitive).
- The sharing economy will infiltrate the financial system. According to PWC, “[It] may have started with cars, taxis, and hotel rooms, but financial services will follow soon enough. In this case, the sharing economy refers to decentralized asset ownership and using information technology to find efficient matches between providers and users of capital, rather than automatically turning to a bank as an intermediary” (PWC).
- Competition in the insurance space is also poised to expand outside of carriers to companies in other industries that will offer their own coverage (RSM).
- Cybersecurity will be a top risk facing financial institutions. In a 2016 PWC global CEO survey, 69 percent of financial services CEOs reported that they are either somewhat or extremely concerned about cyber threats (PWC).

The bank has partnered with Amazon and Airbnb to empower them to offer banking services. The platforms will be able to offer virtual bank accounts, loans, and discounts to customers who stash money in their e-wallets. Customers can process payments within the apps. In exchange, JPMorgan will handle all payment processing and cash movement (Source).
