Such firms have been enabled by advances in technology and a favorable UK regulatory stance towards them \u2013 the same factors that are now facilitating the entry into the market of mobile-only banks looking to compete directly with the incumbents.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all. Regulation has been concurrently driving what we believe will bring about a revolution in UK retail banking \u2013 open banking. In this development, regulators are seeking to drive increased competition and innovation by opening up customer banking data to third parties. This is taking place at two levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>across the EU, in the form of the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2);<\/li>\n<li>in the UK, with the Competition and Markets Authority(CMA) mandating the UK\u2019s largest banks to adopt the Open Banking Standard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Opening up bank data carries an inherent threat of commoditization for incumbent banks. This is because it potentially enables third parties to own the primary customer relationship, by allowing accounts from different providers to be accessed via a single interface that isn\u2019t necessarily owned by an incumbent. It also potentially heightens competition by enabling more personalized comparisons between accounts held at different providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Open banking<\/em><\/p>\n<p>UK retail banks have faced headwinds since the global financial crisis.
