The Great Reinvention: The Global Digital Banking Radar 2023
The banking industry has evolved at breakneck speed over recent years and it is showing no signs of slowing down. Pioneering banks are working towards common goals and, as a result, reinventing themselves for the future. This latest Global Digital Banking Radar aims to provide an in-depth look at all of this, using the results of the global research we have carried out in partnership with Qorus to highlight the fundamental and transformational changes in banking that are happening on a global scales.
What will you learn?
A third of respondents to our survey (33%) say their digital transformation efforts involved an enterprise-wide transformation approach to integrate systems and share data effectively.
According to a recent McKinsey study, customer willingness to consider digital channels is significant – in fact, it exceeds 70% in every geographic region and age category.
Improving the customer experience is as much of a priority to banks as digital banking transformation. This suggests that innovation projects are centered around meeting the needs of the customer.
“Today’s top performers in providing banking services are valued more like tech firms than banks – a clear sign that banks need to increase their innovation metabolic rate” (McKinsey)
Process automation is identified as the top priority in the short term, as it enables greater efficiency, faster time-to-market, better customer service, and improved physical distribution channels.
The majority of participants to our survey expressed concern about the threat posed by Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon (GAFA)

What is evident from our research is that there is a growing urgency for banks to do a better job digitally. They need to digitize their banking services, but they need to do so without losing the human experiences that today’s customers know and love.
