BUSINESS
PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Decision making is increasingly a technology and data-driven business. Multiple
industries are at a pivotal moment. Technology disruption and consumer shifts
are laying the basis for a new S-curve(S-curve is a graph that plots a relevant
cumulative data field — such as man hours or cost — against time) for banking
business models, and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated these trends.
Data analysis is playing critical role across multiple industries now.

Using findings from the Greenwich Digital Transformation Benchmarking Studies across 2019–
2020, we pinpoint the key drivers of ROI for bank technology investments and identify three
areas in which technology (or technology-related) investments consistently deliver attractive
ROI for banks:

1. Client 2. Banker Productivity, which 3. Marketing of Innovation,


Experience, affects bank performance which is often overlooked in
which is highly in both client experience IT planning but can have a
correlated with and sales huge impact on ultimate ROI

With the neck-breaking speed of technology and innovation, no industry has been as critically
affected as the global financial sector. The world of data and information management has
become increasingly complex: business has never moved faster, data has never been more
abundant, and executive decision-making has never had such wide-reaching impacts and
consequences. With intelligent operations, banks can realize the full value of digital banking:
lowering costs, increasing resilience and taking the customer experience to the next level. The
more they thread intelligence into their operations, the better positioned they will be to
outmaneuver uncertainty and meet tomorrow’s performance aspirations. Despite all these
new challenges, the modern banking executive is still expected to make complex, critical
decisions in record time.

In the financial sector, data is both a blessing and a curse: it provides banks and other financial
institutions with more information and potential insights than ever, but it can also lead to
organizational bottlenecking, as well as countless hours wasted on unnecessary information,
misleading statistics, and other potential inefficiencies. Most business intelligence and
performance management solutions lack the insider perspective necessary to make them
truly useful for banks and banking executives.

With ----- Business Intelligence and Performance Management Solutions, the banking industry
can finally harness the potential of its data in a way that translates into meaningful analyses,
actionable insights, and more effective executive management. ----- will utilize the subject
matter expertise from banking industry to address latest business challenges of banking
industry.

MARKET TRENDS

Organizations that achieve a high level of maturity in managing their data become “futureready.”

They are fully focused on digital transformation (i.e. Digital focused) and gain the agility and resilience
needed to thrive amid uncertainty. They also—probably as a result—realize higher market valuations
and derive more profit from their assets. Across the 13 industries we surveyed, banks on average are
less operationally mature than most other organizations. Today, 6% of banks say they have reached
the threshold of future-ready operations and 57% say they have evolved to predictive operations.

Three years ago, no banks identified as future-ready and only 14% described their operations as
predictive. While banks have made some progress toward intelligent operations, they aspire to make
even more. As per below mentioned data, over the next three years, banks want to pull ahead of
other industries: 37% plan to reach a future-ready state, compared to 34% of all organizations. Being
more operationally mature would help banks fulfill requests, acquire customers faster and discover
new streams of revenue growth.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
A. Invest on Technology

The explosive growth that the last decade has seen in the amount of structured and
unstructured data available with the banks, combined with the growth of cloud computing
and machine learning technologies has created a perfect storm for Artificial Intelligence to be
used across the spectrum of banking and financial services landscape.

Business needs and capabilities of AI implementations have grown hand-in-hand and banks
are looking at Artificial Intelligence as a differentiator to beat down the emerging
competition. ----- is focus on enabling banking industry to use AI and business intelligence
more efficiently through set of products. Artificial Intelligence allows banks to use the large
histories of data that they capture to make much better decisions across various functions
including back-office operations, customer experience, marketing, product delivery risk
management, and compliance.

11
B. Focus on predictive analytics

During the coronavirus outbreak, the


demand for predictive analytics has been
increased in banking sector across the
globe to determine financial uncertainty
and measures to be taken to deal with the
economic turbulence.

Harnessing cognitive technology with


Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings the
advantage of digitization to banks and helps
them meet the competition posed by
FinTech players. In fact, about 32% of
financial service providers are already using
AI technologies like Predictive Analytics,
among others, according to a joint research
conducted by the National Business
Research Institute and Narrative Science.

Banking Analytics, or applications of data mining in banking, enhances the performance of the banks
by improving how banks segment, target, acquire, and retain customers. Furthermore, improvements
in risk management, customer understanding, and fraud empower banks to maintain and grow a
profitable customer base.

The application of data mining and predictive analytics to extract actionable insights and quantifiable
predictions can help the banks to gain insights that comprise of all types of customer behavior,
including channel transactions, default, fraud, and customer departure. Cognitive systems that think
and respond like human experts, provide optimal solutions based on available data in real-time. These
systems keep a repository of expert information in its database called knowledge database. Bankers
use these cognitive systems to make strategic decisions.

To keep up with customer demands at a pace that they expect, it has become essential to incorporate
data science in banking for on-demand customer intelligence and insights. This allows for better
decision-making and the capabilities to transform asset and facility management.
Banks may already have substantial insights from descriptive and diagnostic analytics with beautiful
visualizations, however it is now critical to go beyond and adopt advanced analytical methods like
predictive analytics.

Areas in banking where Analytics has the maximum impact

1. Consumer and marketing analytics


2. Risk, Fraud, and AML/KYC Analytics
3. Product and portfolio optimization modelling
4. Increase credit analyst productivity and free up valuable time by applying the bank’s knock-
out rules and taking the application through the approval or investigating paths.
5. Segment large homogenous market into clearly identifiable segments having similar needs,
wants, or demand characteristics
6. Predicting churn rate
12
Banks Objectives accomplished after adopting AI

Retail and non-retail banks used the AI


technology to improve process, customer
experience and enhance transaction efficiencies
and achieved significant results.

The banking market and consumers who utilize


finance products generate an enormous amount
of data on a daily basis. Analytics software has
changed the way this information is processed,
making it possible to identify trends and patterns
which can then be used to inform business
decisions at scale. While one piece of data is a
single data point, multiple pieces of information
can create a larger picture that can be used to
recognize patterns in customer behavior,
purchasing choices and other key insights.

The aggregate potential cost savings for banks from AI applications is estimated at $447 billion by 2023,
with the front and middle office accounting for $416 billion of that total, per Autonomous Next research
seen by Business Insider Intelligence.

1. Banks are leveraging AI on the front end to smooth customer identification and authentication,
mimic live employees through chatbots and voice assistants, deepen customer relationships, and
provide personalized insights and recommendations.

2. AI is also being implemented by banks within middle-office functions to detect and prevent
payments fraud and to improve processes for anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-
customer (KYC) regulatory checks.

3. AI is used to prepare the application score card. It is a statistical predictive tool that defines a set
of variables and their significance to the probability of the default of customers at the moment of
loan application.

4. AI can optimize the whole collection procedure and specify the right structure for it and which
debts should go to legal, or to be handled by the collection team.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
We have shortlisted 4 countries to setup offices to address the demands coming from Gulf, Asia, Africa,
Northern America, Europe and Eastern Europe.

1. UAE (To address demands from Gulf & Asia)

The UAE is located at the centre of some of the world’s most important trade and commerce routes
across Gulf and Asia. Historically this has always been true and remains very much so today, making it a
world class trading hub. The UAE Government offers attractive tax incentives to businesses doing
business in the country. The UAE’s economy has seen a great deal of diversification in the past few
years. There are specialised free trade zones in different parts of the UAE. These free trade zones were
established to attract foreign investors and entrepreneurs into the country.

There are 26 foreign banks and 23 local banks in the UAE. Even though there are 49 total banks in the
country, the five largest banks account for about 60% of the banking sector assets.

As per Moody’s, the banking system in the UAE is stable. A banking system is at resilient capital levels
and has enough liquidity buffers to absorb the shock.

2. Ireland (To address demands from Europe & Eastern Europe)

We choose to set up business in Ireland to address customer demands from Europe and Eastern
Europe because of the competitive corporate tax rates as well as a comprehensive tax treaty network,
along with the advanced infrastructure and the country’s dynamic and highly educated workforce.

Ireland’s economy performed very well in 2019, with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), up 5.6% year-
on-year in terms of volume. At the end of 2019, there were 58 banks operating in Ireland. These
included 24 credit institutions authorised in Ireland, 32 branches of banks authorised in other
European Economic Area countries that were operating in Ireland. 18 of the credit institutions were
headquartered in Ireland or had more than 20% of their business with domestic customers.

Ireland's banking sector includes approximately 60 credit institutions. The Irish economy entered its
5th year of economic expansion in 2016 with growth in consumer spending, tax revenue, building and
construction and expansion in both manufacturing and services sectors. Foreign businesses are not
restricted in Ireland and can be found in most sectors of the economy. The World Economic Forum
ranks Ireland as 23rd out of 138 countries in the Global Competitiveness Index with indicators such as
institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, financial market development and market
size scoring highly to enhance performance of the country globally.

3. South Africa (To address demands from Africa)

South Africa It is Africa’s economic powerhouse, accounting for 30% of total GDP. here is strong growth
in private security industry technology, such as closed-circuit television and digital surveillance
equipment, sophisticated access control systems (smart card technology), and IT systems. In South
Africa, there were 42 banking institutions, excluding registered foreign bank representatives,
registered with the Prudential Authority in May 2019, an increase from 36 institutions a year earlier.
There are 30 foreign banks with approved representative offices in South Africa. South Africa is the
financial hub in African continent.

11.1%. South Africa's banking sector is still highly concentrated with the five largest banks holding over
90% of total assets in February 2019. Capitec Bank's customer base and market capitalisation continue
to grow ahead of its large competitors. Total banking sector assets grew by 16.36% year on year, to
R6.6 trillion at the end of March 2020 (March 2019: R5.7 trillion).

4. USA (To address demands from North America)

The North America digital banking market reached nearly $376.2 Billion in 2019 and should reach
$721.3 Billion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.30% for the period of 2019-
2027. Several Leading banks in the US are betting on technology as a key driver of their future
business, in one form or another. According to Industry Sources, there had been 259 bank mergers
among regional banks and thrifts in the US during 2016 and 2018.

BUSINESS PROBLEM
1. Large banks have a sheer volume of transactional and customer data and analysing
this information is no easy task using conventional reporting methods, in addition, the
results would be far from calling it intelligent information.

2. Business Intelligence solutions across banking industry such as banking,


manufacturing, aviation, logistics have become more of a necessity recently rather
than a nice to have in the past few years.

3. No customised banking intelligence solutions are available dedicatedly working for


banking industry. The large firms like Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and others offer strong
databases, Extraction and Loading tools (ETL) and front dashboarding tools like Cognos,
PowerBI and Tableau. So, banks through IT department and external vendors have to build
their business intelligence systems using these tools which takes time, a lot of
management team dedication and cost a lot of money with no guarantee of success.

17
SOLUTIONS

Currently, over 2.5 billion gigabytes of data is generated globally on a


daily basis. With financial companies putting their data to work, they
can gain actionable insights for a competitive advantage. In addition,
with business intelligence tools being leveraged, bringing disparate
data from various applications creates a unified source of
information that anyone in the company can utilize.

SALES & MARKETING STRATEGY
The online strategy elements are best suited for all prospects and not limited to any physical
constrain. To develop a Go to market strategy for our products, below mentioned
framework will be used:

A. Customer Engagement Strategy

B. Key Channels to focus on

28
Search Engine Optimization

Internet searches are by far the most common activity on the Internet. Therefore, we should
focus on implementing an aggressive search engine optimization strategy, whereby we will
optimize content using keywords related to our product offerings. By optimizing our content,
we will organically aggregate higher on Google, Bing and Yahoo search engines and become
more visible to potential users. We may consult an SEO expert as well as exploring and testing
SEO presence on Google in 2021. Search frequencies for terms such as data analytics, artificial
intelligence, predictive analytics etc. have increased through the years so efforts should be
put on Search Engine Optimisation by including certain keywords such as “data analytics”,
“predictive analytics”, “artificial intelligence to manage data”, etc in the social media posts
and website to improve search result rankings when searched by customers. Apart from this,
customer reviews on Google and Facebook also serve as keyword mines by picking up
adjectives describing the service.

Once the website or social media pages start getting hits, the objective now shifts to getting
them to ‘act’ and encourage interaction which may include offering them free trial of the
offering or giving them some specific number of consultations for free. Articles with respect
to Christian online dating maybe posted frequently to engage users. Once a user has

EXIT STRATEGY

It is the management’s intention to run this business until they are ready to retire. ----- is
targeting to achieve US $ 100 million of company with US $ 10 milion in revenue every year with
portfolio of more than 100 banks.

The success of the business will be monitored monthly in the first year and quarterly in
subsequent years. The management team is aware that it usually takes new businesses three
years to start turning a profit and that the business could operate at a loss during that time. The
investors will keep this in mind when evaluating the state of the business, and make adjustments,
when possible, to keep the business running with a positive cash flow.

In the event the proposed plan is not successful and based on the geography the management
will implement necessary measures to exit the business endeavor with minimal damage to the
owners and investors. All Intellectual property rights of product and software will be sold to cover
any outstanding debts if any. Any remaining debt will be paid by the owners in the form of
monthly payments until all debts are paid in full. Definitions of “successful” and time limits for
achieving milestones will be defined by founders.

Acceptable loss has been determined; if the business exceeds this amount and is unable to
compensate the owners, we will begin the process of closing the business and paying back debt.
