Five megatrends that will change financial services
This report identifies the clusters of innovation that are affecting business in the financial services industry: Primary accounts, payments, capital markets, investment management and insurance.
Deloitte worked with the World Economic Forum to conduct a large study about the future of financial services. Our purpose was to understand how disruptive innovations were reshaping the business of financial services as it exists today.
What we discovered was that innovation is occurring in clusters. These clusters at first seemed pretty isolated, but then we noticed some commonalities. For one thing, the most visible innovations are platform-based, data intensive and capital light. They also cross competitive lines. Any one of the innovation clusters has major implications, not just for incumbents and their customers, but for the overall financial services ecosystem as well.
In this article, we look at how clusters of innovation are affecting business in primary accounts, payments, capital markets, investment management and insurance. Then, taking what we know now and assuming certain conditions, we examine different ways those innovations could play out.
