At the same time, the rising new Competitive Field becomes more complex. Innovation enables cutting-edge technologies (Core Banking as-a-Service, Open API’s, Data aggregation, Blockchain, BigData, AI, IoT, Strong Customer Authentication and other Anti-Fraud solutions) is the catalyst that influences the development of breakthrough, cost-effective, ergonomic and user-friendly services.
