1. Personal banking
2. Business banking
The successful business banks of the future
will be those that help their customers
achieve superior commercial results.
By accessing data from across their business
customers value chain, from suppliers
to distributors to retailers, the Bank of
things will be able to develop much deeper
customer insights. This will allow banks
to provide financial analysis, products
and services that enable their business
customers to gain a competitive edge in a
highly connected, hyper-competitive market.
Analytics will be one of the Bank of things
most valued product offerings for business
customers. Banks will, for example, combine
their demographic and market segment
data with their business customers own
data-led insights (e.g. insights into consumer
preferences, regional market differences
or demand fluctuations) to help those
business customers refine pricing models.
Another example of how the Bank of
things will better serve business customers
involves transport. As more and more
transportation data becomes available,
manufacturing companies will be able to
see which transportation methods, carriers
and routes will result in a higher proportion
of damaged or lost goods and adjust
inventory values in real time. A Bank of
things could aggregate this data with that
of other business customers to identify
the relative risk of various transport options
and tailor the pricing on their insurance
offerings accordingly.

Connectivity
Create a seamless, consistent experience
across multiple channels to deliver a
superior customer experience and drive
enhanced revenue opportunities. The Bank
of things will build on this, integrating
new external distribution channels and
developing an interconnected network
reaching beyond traditional, bank-owned
channels of today.
1. Analytics
Banks are already searching for unique
ways to use the customer data they already
possess and external data such as social
media feeds to help them anticipate
customer needs and deliver timely offers.
In the Internet of things era, the volume of
data available will explode. Banks need to
continue investing in analytics capabilities
that will allow them to process and make
sense of all of this new data in order to
deliver highly individualized, valuable
and actionable offers to their customers.
Consistently delivering the right products
and customer-centered advice will drive
customers to engage their bank on a more
regular, everyday basis as their valued,
trusted, and personalized financial adviser.
3. Distribution
To seamlessly embed themselves in
their customers daily lives and avoid
becoming an intrusion banks will need
to be absolutely precise in the choice
of distribution tools, applications and
methods used to communicate with each
customer. A data-driven understanding
of individual customers needs and
preferences will be essential. In some
cases, banks take their customary centre
stage in the interaction; in others, they
will find themselves playing a pivotal
background role in an interaction between
the customer and an ecosystem partner.
4. Agility
The Internet of things will be characterized
by continually changing technology and
infrastructure. Banks will need to invest
in developing their agility and capacity for
change, so they can evolve and adapt to
these shifts. High-performing organizations
already recognize that change capability
is a core competency and an integral
part of all business activities. Banks that
can train themselves to be more agile
will be able to respond to technology
changes rapidly and flexibly and as
a result maintain market relevance.
5. Continuous innovation
Innovation is a key driver of business
competitiveness and profitability in every
industry. The transformation from bank to
Bank of things will be an ongoing process,
one that will demand continual innovation
to anticipate and respond to the everchanging needs and demands of tomorrows
customers. Developing the capacity to
innovate rapidly and successfully will enable
banks to grow their customer base and
increase customer value while fortifying
their market position going forward.
