The Future of Financial Marketplaces

At BankShift, we’re closely monitoring the evolving landscape of financial marketplaces and their impact on the industry. Recent research from leading consulting firms sheds light on the trends and expectations for financial institutions in the coming years. Here’s a snapshot of what to expect:

2-Year Projection (2024):

Financial institutions are increasingly exploring or implementing open banking and financial marketplaces. According to Deloitte, open banking is rapidly gaining traction, particularly in Europe and the UK, with US banks starting to follow. Institutions are forming partnerships to recalibrate customer relationships and enhance service offerings through these ecosystems.

5-Year Projection (2029):

By 2029, the majority of financial institutions are expected to have integrated financial marketplaces into their services. McKinsey anticipates a significant shift towards digital transformation, with financial institutions becoming central hubs in a broader ecosystem. This will involve not only sharing customer data with third parties but also receiving data to create a more integrated and comprehensive financial service model.

10-Year Projection (2034):

Looking ahead to 2034, the integration of financial marketplaces is likely to become standard practice globally. The trend towards embedded finance and comprehensive service platforms will solidify, with institutions offering a wide array of services from various partners.
