Open banking is not just a trend anymore but a major concern for most bank executives who are expecting (waiting?) a big change on their business in the coming years.

At least two forces are currently driving open banking: technology and regulation. In Europe for example, the PSD2 directive is accelerating the trend to open banking to let third-part providers (TPPs) and Fintech access customers’ data. To make it possible, banks will have to develop open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to let any counter part access their system.

Ron Shevlin, Director of research at Cornerstone Advisory and best-seller author of Smarter Bank, recently updated the new models of banks that are emerging with the rise of open banking (see the chart before from the Financial Brand).

Open Banking: key figures

88% of banks expect PSD2 to have an impact on their business.

---

Despite the high perception of risk, 44% of banks plan to provide an open bank offering in the next 5 years.

---

64% of banks intend to integrate foreign products or functionalities into own digital offering.

---

In Europe, the budget to get a banking license is estimated at approximately €20 million.
