Report structure:A. Objectives and methodologyB. Executive summary--------1. Banking current state of play2. Differentiators3. Disruptors--------C. Conclusion
Objectives:The key objectives of the research was to:
• Demonstrate how banks are offering unique products and
services to differentiate themselves and win business in the
SME segment
• Explore non-bank potential disruptors and how these
players can hinder or aid banks in SME servicing.
This report will feed into internal planning processes by
providing strategic understanding of leading tablet banking
apps as well what is happening in the marketplace overall.
Furthermore innovative examples and approaches can be
used to gain inspiration as well as strengthening existing
business cases.
Methodology:Mapa has recently undertaken a number of projects
exploring the SME banking space and as a result we have
developed a deep knowledge of key trends within sales and
services. We have used this knowledge in addition to our
access to SME accounts to highlight trends pertaining to the
platforms and services offered, found in the Banking Current
State of Play section. We then audited leading banks to
uncover products and services that can be considered
“differentiation” rather than true “innovation” as we believe
there is a distinct lack of innovation within this space from
the banking sector. Finally, we profiled a number of up and
coming non-banking solutions that we believe can potentially
disrupt banks initiatives in the SME segment.
