Banking partnerships can go beyond collaborating with FinTechs. Therefore, we researched all partnership announcements between banks and Third-Party Providers between 2012 and 2018 for the German market. The aim of this research is to shed light on the increasing importance of partnerships for banks to realize their strategic agenda, and how banks can make partnerships and ecosystems work for them.<\/p>\n
The publication resulting from our research consists of three parts. In this first part, we describe the market dynamics that we observe based on public announcements.

In the third part, we discuss learnings from previous engagements that we did around partnerships and present guidelines how banks can start on making ecosystems work for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
