Incumbent banks have just a short window of opportunity to fight back against fintech challengers, says Nikolai Hack, head of strategy at Nucoro, before they find themselves in real trouble.
Thinking small but strategic is the way to stay ahead without exposing the business to too much risk.
We spoke to Nucoro COO Nikolai Hack about how to be there for your investment clients while dealing with challenges internally too.
Now more than ever, it is important that tech companies and their clients in the financial services sector are providing reliable products. Customers expect a seamless service even in times of high demand, so it’s important the technology products on offer are robust and fit for purpose.

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.
Digital transformation isn’t exactly new news as companies have been pursuing digital transformation strategies for some time. Cyber security and IT operational challenges, cost pressures, risk aversion and the skills gap are all driving the digital transformation agenda.
Digital transformation is increasingly becoming a must-have not just a nice-to-have. With most teams having to work from home, how are you supposed to keep pace with the increased drive for successful transformation?
As financial institutions strive to keep up with the ongoing march of FinTech, a ‘trust gap’ still remains within finance – and incumbents may be able to use it to their advantage.

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

Banks are some of the most data rich organisations on the planet, but the value of that data is rarely realised as much of it sits in silos.
Traditional banking organisations hold a lot of advantages, they have bigger, more trusted brands, longer relationships with more customers and more data to power decisions. So, with so many cards in hand, why are they so worried about challengers?
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.
