Experienced financial expert from Graniitti Laura Vanninen follows developments in the industry and sees how the rapidly changing operating environment challenges traditional operating models.
“When I started in the industry, payments and banking looked very different than they do today. Now digitalization, artificial intelligence, and Open Banking have opened up completely new opportunities and revolutionized the entire playing field,” Laura reflects.
Technological developments are constantly bringing new opportunities to the financial sector, but at the same time, customer expectations are changing towards ease of use, accessibility and transparency. Payments in particular are one of the fastest-developing areas of the financial sector, which will be shaped even more by megatrends in the coming years. The expectations of millennials and Generation Z from digital services are also growing all the time. “The new generation of customers not only want smooth and personalized services, they expect them as a given,” Laura points out. The new generation of customers does not compromise on the user experience. Services must be effortless and intelligent, but also secure.
At the same time, the importance of regulation, information security and cyber threats is growing. EU regulations and new data protection requirements require rapid response and only proactive actors will be able to maintain their competitive advantage. In the future, those companies that are able to not only utilize technological developments, but also adapt their operating models agilely will succeed.
