01Introduction01 Introduction 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsFintech On the brink of further disruption2

FINTECH INTRODUCTIONFintech continues to transform the financial services industryFrom crisis to crisisThe term Fintech (Financial Technology) refers to computer programs and othermodern technologies used by businesses that provide automated and improvedfinancial services.Since the last global financial crisis, investments in Fintech have been growing.The expansion of the sector was largely a technological response to theshortcomings of the traditional financial services industry, which came underextreme pressure during and after the crisis.Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has initiated another recession. We have seenthat since the COVID-19 outbreak the financial sector, together with the energyand real estate sectors, has experienced the largest market capitalization loss,primarily due to concerns about increased credit losses.On the other hand, accommodative measures by governments around the world(labor costs compensation, income support, financing facilities etc.) are likely tohelp borrowers meeting loan obligations amid an environment of rising defaults. 2020 Deloitte The Netherlands2nd wave of FintechDespite the COVID-19 pandemic, we appear to have entered a new phase in theevolution of the financial technology sector. The thinking of many financial institutions has evolved, they're now seeking toteam more with emerging technology companies to gain access to newmarkets and products, greater efficiencies, or just the "secret sauce" thatmakes innovation go. At the same time, many Fintechs themselves have sought to join with largefinancial institutions to expand into new markets, extend their client network,gain industry and regulatory knowledge, and even simply cash out.The rise of Fintech, changing consumer behavior, and advanced technologies aredisrupting the insurance industry. Insurtechs and technology startups continue to redefine customer experiencethrough innovations such as risk-free underwriting, on-the-spot purchasing,activation, and claims processing.Fintech On the brink of further disruption3

01Introduction02 Fintech disruption 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsFintech On the brink of further disruption7

FINTECH FINTECH DISRUPTIONFintechs have changed how financial services are structured, delivered and consumed,but many have not successfully established themselves as dominant players yetWhere Fintechs have succeededWhere Fintechs didn’t meet expectationsROADMAPFintechs have seized the initiative – defining thedirection, shape and pace of innovation acrossalmost every subsector of financial services – and havesucceeded as both stand-alone businesses and crucialparts of financial value chains.CUSTOMER INERTIACustomer willingness to switch away fromincumbents has been overestimated. Customerswitching costs are high, and new innovations are oftennot sufficiently material to warrant the shift to a newprovider, especially as incumbents adapt.USER EXPERIENCEFintechs have reshaped customer expectations,setting new and higher bars for user experience.Through innovations like rapid loan adjudicationFintechs have shown that the customer experience barset by large technology firms, such as Apple andGoogle, can be met in financial services.INFRASTRUCTUREFintechs have struggled to create new infrastructureand establish new financial services ecosystems,such as alternative payment rails or alternative capitalmarkets. They have been much more successful inmaking improvements within traditional ecosystemsand infrastructure.CONCLUSIONFintechs have materially changed the basis of competition in financial services but have not (yet) materially disrupted the competitivelandscape.Source: Deloitte, Beyond Fintech - A pragmatic assessment of disruptive potential in financial services 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsFintech On the brink of further disruption8

FINTECH FINTECH DISRUPTIONAlthough Fintechs have not yet disrupted the competitive landscape, they have laid thefoundation for further future disruptionSome financial institutions have turned the threat of Fintechs into an opportunity The rapid growth of the Fintech ecosystemallows firms to externalize parts of theirinnovation function, as they wait and see whichnew offerings gain traction before deploying theirown solutions.The rise of Fintechs provides financialinstitutions with a “supermarket” forcapabilities, allowing them to use acquisitionsand partnerships to rapidly deploy new offerings.Where Fintechs have laid the foundation for further future disruptionThe accelerating pace of the innovation cycle infinancial services means that an incumbentfinancial institution's success is predicated onbusiness model agility and the ability torapidly deploy partnerships, neither of whichare traditional core competencies of theseinstitutions.Source: Deloitte, Beyond Fintech - A pragmatic assessment of disruptive potential in financial services 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsThe ability to shop the Fintech landscape forcapabilities is not limited to incumbents; newentrants face significantly lower technologicalbarriers to entering financial services, withpotential long-term implications for thecompetitive landscape. Fintechs that offer uniqueconsumer convenience and marketplace entryhave paved the way for further future disruption.SantanderSantander is one of the market leadingretail banks that leapt onto thedisruptive fintech wagon. Apart fromtheir 100% online bank, SantanderOpenbank, based in Madrid, thebanking giant has also made significantsteps into cryptocurrency, throughOnePay FX, a blockchain-basedinternational system available for theircustomers, used to send and receivetransfers between individuals indifferent countries.AdyenCurrently with a market cap of c. 50bn,Adyen is a global payment companyand one of the top European Fintechs.Adyen’s all-in-one platform acceptspayments everywhere and offers aseamless experience for business andcustomers. Previously, the paymentsindustry had multiple incumbents andintermediaries, which Adyen hasalready disrupted, due to itstransparency, ease of adaption andmarketplace agility to transform to newand upcoming business models.Fintech On the brink of further disruption9

FINTECH FINTECH DISRUPTIONCooperation between financial institutions and Fintechs encounters several hurdlesOrganizational speed bumps canundercut Fintech propensity for rapidexperimentation Financial institutions (“FIs”) internaldecision-making processes and riskmanagement requirements can hinderthe collaboration with Fintechs, thatgenerally use a fast-fail approach. External factors as regulatory andcompliance considerations can alsodelay the process, with a potentialcyber breach as a common dealbreaker.Don’t mistake a clear view for a short distance Fintechs have the freedom and innovative culture but lack the money andthe industry knowledge. FIs have the money and knowledge but are boggeddown by the organizational structure and its legacy systems. The strengths and weaknesses of Fintechs and incumbents are clear andshould be complementary, but the chasm is not as easily to bridge as itseems.Process barriers are often a majorhurdle Each department within a financialinstitution often makes its owndecisions on whether to invest in, buy,or partner with a Fintech, or to developits own solution in-house. This lack of coordination, internalawareness and communication withinfinancial institutions is one of the mostcommon obstacles in the collaborationbetween Fintechts and FIs.CollaborationobstaclesGeneric pitches and a lack of industryexperience undermine startupcredibility FIs have become more demandingabout their Fintech expectations. The focus has shifted from “cool”generic ideas to practical solutionsaddressing specific problems in aparticular financial services sector. FIs and investors prefer more certaintyon their investment, leading toinvestments in later funding rounds andless new Fintech launches. COVID-19may reinforce this tendency.Financial institutions struggle toestablish expectations and to measuresuccess There is debate on whether to usequantitative or qualitative metrics whenmeasuring the success of investmentsin Fintechs, potentially complicating orparalyzing the collaboration. An example of a quantitative metric isthe ROI, while qualitative metrics are“squishier”, with neither being right orwrong.Source: Deloitte, Closing the gap in fintech collaboration – Overcoming obstacles to a symbiotic relationship 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsFintech On the brink of further disruption10

FINTECH FINTECH DISRUPTIONFive opportunities are identified in the Fintech industry that give an overview of what ishappening now with COVID-19, and what is the promise aheadOpportunity 1: Continued acceleration of partnershipsAn important outcome of COVID-19 for Fintechs may well be the continued acceleration of partnerships. The ability to adapt and innovate quicklyleads to many Fintechs creating new products and offering digital solutions. This creates the opportunity to develop new partnerships, as financialinstitutions often lack such skills. There will be partnership opportunities with other Fintechs, big tech and nonfinancial services firms.Opportunity 2: Advancing financial inclusion programsThe economic disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighting the importance of serving people who are currently outside the financial system,both in developing and developed economies. It is possible that COVID-19 may lead to greater financial inclusion as a result of recent governmentprograms around the world to help low-income households. Fintechs can play an important role, perhaps through strategic partnerships across abroad ecosystem of players.Opportunity 3: Accelerating economic relief effortsNumerous payments companies may be well positioned to aid in the more rapid disbursement of government relief funds, especially to thosewithout bank accounts.Opportunity 4: Empowering gig workersGig economy workers are another attractive segment for Fintechs. Given their inconsistent or unpredictable income patterns, gig workers typicallyhave unique financial, insurance, and tax requirements. For this reason, they are generally underserved by banks, making them a growingopportunity for Fintech firms. While it is unclear how COVID-19 might impact the growth of the gig economy, Fintechs may end up targeting theseindividuals more directly.Opportunity 5: Harnessing the Internet of ThingsAnother area is Internet of Things (IoT) enabled contactless payments, such as connected cars that allow consumers to pay for gas or food withouthandling cash or other potentially infected surfaces. In fact, it is possible that COVID-19 will accelerate the adoption of IoT-enabled payments.Source: Deloitte, Beyond COVID-19: New opportunities for fintech companies 2020 Deloitte The NetherlandsFintech On the brink of further disruption11
