Digital Challenger Banks and Banking Disruption

• Digital challenger banks are startups that are built on the premise of doing one thing really well, for example current accounts, with a lean infrastructure, leading with tech versus finance.

• These new banks have disrupted banking and finance like Spotify disrupted the music industry, or the birth of digital photography disrupted Kodak.

• However, incumbent banks have been slow to react and consumers are not using these banks as their primary bank.

• The preference for the majority of the population is to be multi-banked and to use these digital challengers for daily spending, monitoring and accessing deals via the marketplaces or on foreign exchange.
