Challenger banks have made serious waves in the industry over the past few years. They have brought forward an offering that is genuinely disruptive, because of the way they are run. Digital challenger banks operate more like tech companies than banks, from their processes to their tech stacks, they have more in common with consumer-tech companies than traditional, branch-focused banks. They have been designed for scale, efficiency, agility and as a result enjoy a much lower cost of operating.

Unfettered by legacy infrastructure and able to leverage their agile, tech-centric cultures, challenger banks create flawless digital customer experiences.

We've identified four customer sub-segments based on their motivations that banks should think about. Nikolai Hack, Head of Strategy, explains.

Banks have realised that they don’t have all of the skills and capabilities to remain competitive in today’s digital-first environment, so they’ve been expanding their banking innovation capabilities through their fintech partners. But not all partnerships are created equal and leading banks are starting to realise the additional benefits offered by technology platforms.

Research from Nucoro reveals six million people have downloaded their bank's App for the first time.

The race to remain relevant within the financial services sector has ramped up in the last few years, and innovation within banks is pushing past simply digitised forms of current services.

Digitalisation is becoming widely accepted as a necessity for all businesses that want to have a long-term future. However, the true meaning of it is often misunderstood.

Unfavourable macro environmental factors, increased competition from challengers and technology legacies are all weighing heavily on incumbents.

There's no need to wrestle with legacy technology to deliver innovative propositions. The Nucoro Platform automates the entire client lifecycle and is easy to deploy on its own or integrate with existing systems.

Banks have a huge advantage over digital-first banks: their wealth of customer data. To make the most of the opportunity and avoid losing further ground to the challengers, banks should look to fintech partners for digital banking platforms that they can quickly build from.

A digital investment platform with an open architecture enables banks to connect to their ecosystem via APIs and forge fintech partnerships.

Discussions around financial wellbeing have accelerated as a result of COVID-19, leaving banks in search for the right way to support their customers.
