Amara’s law

Myth 1:
I am too big to fail.

I am deeply entrenched in my customers’ life…

“If I had asked people what they wanted,
they would have said faster horses.”
- Attributed to Henry Ford

From there to now… in just a decade..

Myth 2
Yes, digital is disrupting,
but my industry will not be significantly impacted

Myth 3
I am already innovating, so I don’t
need to worry…

To address this myth,
Let’s time travel to the ‘90s…

You’ve got mail video

Web 1.0: A day in our life…

To NOW: Web 2.0: winners of the new era…

But many didn’t make it…

Myth 4
My industry is regulated, so I am
protected…

Perhaps not…

today is not from other banks…
[but from] the growing gap between the
institution and the customer…”

So, Risk or opportunity for
incumbents?
Both…depends on you…

FinTech drivers- WHY
2008 crisis and subsequent Huge un(der)banked
trust deficit population

Egs:

- P2P lending

platform)

But the response of
(most) incumbents…

WFWIB to confusion to FOLO to FOMO….
WFWIB: CONFUSION: FOLO: FOMO:

• ‘Why fix what • Not sure what’s Fear of losing out Fear of missing
ain’t broken…’ happening • Sit up and take out
• At what pace… notice… • Bandwagon effect

Fintech 2.0: 2015-18: Banks + fintechs
driven by FOMO and the platform economy..

From pipes to platforms: Today’s leaders own/ create nothing…
Most popular media owner created no content
Largest company owns no cars
Most valuable retailer has no inventory
Largest accommodation provider owns no rooms
Largest photo sharing provider doesn’t create any images
Largest communication service owns no telecom infra
Largest breaking news service produces no news
