LECTURE 1 – INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
WHAT IS FSAN?
Analytics: systematical analysis of data with the business objective of growing the business, improving
decisions, optimizing the costs or managing the risks.
Financial services: the sector which contains the following activities:
Banking (handling deposits and money lending)
Insurance (pay a premium to be protected against financial losses due to random events)
Payment services
Wealth & asset management (investment advisory)
Consultancy
WHY FSAN? DUE TO CHANGES!
Changes in consumer behavior
More demanding in terms of user experience
Simple purchasing process
Quick response
Required personalization
Required low costs
Embraced digitalization
High trust in information technology (IT) firms
Interact with an increasing number of digital devices (PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet, smartwatch…)
Accept that user data is used for corporate purposes
Accept to interact with robots (chatbots, automated investment advice…)
Changes in technology
More communications on digital devices
More data is stored and processed
More decisions can be data-driven (evidence based) & even automated
Changes in profitability for banks
The profitability for banks is under pressure
ROE is declining year after year due to the overcapacity & the low margins
Solutions are mergers & digitalization
Aiming for state-of-the-art technology
Stay relevant (grow the business, what do consumers really want?)
Be efficient (reduce operating costs)
Success in digitalization (more revenues & less costs to create more profits)
Changes in competition
While traditional banks operate in payments, lending, deposits… the new entrants in the market have
specialized themselves in one specific service (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Rabobank…)
Incumbent institutions Other finetech firms
KBC, BNP Paribas Fortis, Deutsche Bank... Armor, Transpay, Wirecard, Kickpay, C2FO...
INVESTORS CUSTOMERS
Technology providers & ICT companies
New digital-based institutions
(incl. BigTech frims)
