    Fintech Services im Retail Banking 

    Filialen bilden die traditionelle Schnittstelle zwischen Banken und ihren Kunden. Im Zuge der Digitalisierung der Wirtschaft und der mobilen haben sich die Erwartungen an und die Nutzung von Filialen durch die Bankkunden grundlegend verändert. FinTechs und zunehmend auch Banken stellen sich auf diese Veränderungen ein.

    Bonitätsrechner, SocialSentiment-basierte Investmentvorschläge und crowdbasierte Portfoliogenerierung sind einige Beispiele neuer Technologien und Lösungen an der Kundenschnittstelle, bei denen FinTechs und Banken um Kunden und Ertragsströme konkurrieren. Viele Banken tun sich schwer, mit den neuen Anforderungen umzugehen und die Opportunitäten, welche sich durch die Digitalisierung ergeben, zu ihren Gunsten zu nutzen. Sie sehen sich einer Vielfalt von Innovationen gegenüber, die in hoher Geschwindigkeit alle Schnittstellen mit den Kunden erfassen.

    Von Banken wird plötzlich erwartet, dass sie agil werden und hohe technologische, organisatorische und auch kulturelle Anpassungsfähigkeit beweisen. Doch wo geht die Reise hin und wie schätzen die Banken selbst die Relevanz dieser vielfältigen Neuerungen ein? Diese Frage ist Fokus der vorliegenden Studie und untersucht den Status quo von elektronisch erbrachten Services an der Kundenschnittstelle von Retailbanken.

    Initiatoren der Studie sind e-foresight, der ForschungsThink Tank für Digital der Swisscom AG und das Business Engineering Institute St. Gallen mit dem Kompetenzzentrum Sourcing in der Finanzindustrie (CC Sourcing) an den Instituten für Wirtschaftsinformatik der Universitäten St. Gallen und Leipzig

    Be careful, Blockchain is not a wild card. 

    aaeaaqaaaaaaaafzaaaajdi2ztzhmtu4lte3zjmtndhlmy04otg1ltixmja5m2m5y2mwoa

    Every tool has been designed to accomplish a certain task or purpose. is not different from other tools and it has a specific functionality. As you will see below, it provides a set of properties that are very useful to protect information.

    Blockchain is not something new in cryptography.

    Blockchain is, in essence, a signed hash chain. This is a combination of data, hashes and signatures composing an interwoven chain. Although Blockchain is a hot topic nowadays, its underlying has been used for years to protect information. The generation of immutable audit logs is a good example of this.

    The idea behind Blockchain consists in signing the content of every data record together with the result of a hash function of the previous stored record. In this way, signatures become successively connected by themselves allowing anyone to check their correctness.

    From a security point of view, Blockchain provides data integrity, data authenticity, non-repudiation, record immutability, verifiability, and fault-tolerance.

    Each of these digital signatures provides data integritydata authenticity and non-repudiation to its corresponding record: (i) When the data of a record is signed, it cannot be modified once generated without detection (data integrity); (ii) only the issuer of a signature is able to prove that the signature belongs to her (data authenticity); and (iii) the issuer of a signature cannot deny her authorship (non-repudiation).

    Meanwhile, the hash included in each signature links such record with the previous one. This hash together with the digital signature offer record immutability. In other words, records cannot be added, modified or deleted without detection. This is because any fraudulent change can be detected by verifying from the last to the first linked signature of the chain. Anyone who possesses the public key of the signatures is able to check it (verifiability). In fact, this is the reason why Blockchain is not anonymous.

    In addition, Blockchain provides data redundancy, which consists in storing a copy of every record in several peers. Therefore, if a server fails, the other servers still have the whole data (fault-tolerance).

    All these properties make Blockchain a good tool to store information in a secure way. But, as each tool, Blockchain has limited properties and functionalities. It cannot solve as many problems as we would like.

    Analyse what security requirements have to be met by your system, and decide then what cryptographic techniques to use.

    For this reason, it is important to figure out what functional as well as security requirements have to be accomplished by your system and whether Blockchain is your suitable tool.

    Is Blockchain what you need?

    Keep in mind that there is not a magic tool able to deal with all your system requirements. On the contrary, an improper use of a security tool could lead to your system a serious security fault.

    (chorus in parentheses)

    (Banker men)
    (Hey, Banker men)

    Alright everybody, gather ‘round
    The Banker men are here
    What kind of banking do you want?

    Sweet banking?
    Sour banking?
    Long or short banking?

    Anything you want…

    You’ve come to the right men
    ‘cuz we are the Banker men

     

    Who can take the fed rate, push it oh-so-low
    Then wonder why the rate of GDP growth is so slow?
    The Central Bank can, any Central Bank can
    Who makes monetary easing, oh-so-very pleasing
    The Central Bank plan, the Central Bank plan

    Who can take a yield curve, sprinkle it askew
    Shower it with rate cuts and a miracle or two
    Kuroda-san can, Kuroda-san can
    ‘cuz he floods us all in yen, then he floods us all again
    The Kuroda-san con, the Kuroda-san con

     

    (The Central Banker makes everything he monetizes satisfying and delicious
    Now you talk about your retirement wishes, better hope for loaves and fishes…)

    (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

     

    Who takes the interbank rate, smashes it to rubble
    To fertilize and monetize a bloated asset bubble?
    The Bernanke man can, the Bernanke man can
    He waves his magic wand and he floods the world with bonds
    It’s the Bernanke man scam, the Bernanke man scam

    Who can take the Euro, prop it up just so
    Relax a bit, and then the bloody Brits decide to go
    The Draghi man can, the Draghi man can
    His yield curve is inverted, and policies perverted
    It’s the Draghi man flam, the Draghi man flam

     

    (The Central Banker makes everything he monetizes satisfying and delicious
    Now you talk about your retirement wishes, better hope for loaves and fishes…)

    (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

     

    Who can take deposits, give interest close to naught
    Keep the party going, and just hope that she’s not caught?
    The Yellen-melon can, oh the Yellen-melon can
    Doesn’t matter what we save, our pensions still get shaved
    It’s the Yellen-melon slam, the Yellen-melon slam

    If revenue’s a dollar, who can borrow three?
    Then pass the bill to you, your kids and all your family.
    Your Congressman can, your Congressman can
    No point in getting angered, his district’s gerrymandered
    It’s the Congressman sham, the Congressman sham

     

    (The Central Banker makes everything he monetizes satisfying and delicious
    Now you talk about your retirement wishes, better hope for loaves and fishes…)

    (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

     

    Give us a safe haven, please who can it be?
    Forget our indiscretions and protect us while we flee
    The Swiss Franc man can; the Swiss Franc man can
    Zurich has its faults, but there’s gold in them thar’ vaults
    It’s the Alpine-man band, the Alpine-man band

    By punning on an old song, I‘ve bored you all to tears
    But still, this took more effort than the Fed has made for years
    ‘cuz Alan Greenspan, Alan Greenspan
    From boom to bust to boom, he’s the smartest man in the room?
    It’s the Greenspan-man scam, the Greenspan-scam

     

    (The Central Banker makes everything he monetizes satisfying and delicious
    Now you talk about your retirement wishes, better hope for loaves and fishes…)

    (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

     

    (a-Central Banker can, a-Central Banker can, a-Central Banker can)
    (a-Central Banker can, a-Central Banker can, a-Central Banker can)
