Our research is aimed at business and technology leaders at retail banks and their solution providers to help navigate digital transformation journeys. Our insights help clients benchmark themselves through bank surveys and case studies highlighting best practices; get up to speed quickly on key technologies, such as AI, APIs, 5G, digital identity, and cloud, through primer and trends reports; and make technology investment decisions based on our deep understanding of the vendor landscape.
We have deep expertise in key areas of banking being reshaped by technology: from customer onboarding and servicing to cloud-and API-led transformation of banking platforms, and from innovations in digital payments to lending transformation.

Furthermore, geopolitical uncertainty brings macro-level risks, while criminals are rapidly adopting the same latest technologies to keep the banks’ fraud and risk departments busy. How can banks become more efficient and resilient while delivering innovative and strategic initiatives?
Join our webinar to discover the essential insights and strategies you need to help you stay ahead in the evolving landscape of retail banking.
