What EY-Parthenon banking and capital markets strategy consulting team can do for you

Banking and capital markets are at a pivotal moment. We’re in a time of change and simultaneous disruption from different spheres of the business. Consolidation, deregulation, digitization, blockchain and fintech disruption are all in play. And another significant trend vying for corporate attention is changing customer preferences for a more digitally integrated banking experience based on sustainable practices. 

To thrive today and in the future, traditional banking models must be reimagined. For example, consumers will never return to their pre-pandemic way of banking. Now consumers want to do their banking online. So banks must become fully digital on the front end of the business as well as in the back office. Also, as blockchain and cryptocurrencies gain in popularity, banks must innovate to stay relevant in asset distribution, including the ever-increasing knowledge accumulation from data. Banks must also deal with increasing competition from agile FinTech in the lending space. Currently, FinTech with fewer governmental restrictions can make quick decisions when dealing directly with consumers. This disruption in loan origination threatens the very core of banking. And consolidation and partnering are also taking place to help provide new and needed capabilities such as AI. Still another concern is that sustainable business practices are a priority. Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) is predicted to be an important deciding factor in future capital investments. Bottom line, growth opportunities abound but they must be both identified and acted upon quickly to be fully realized.
