Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Warwick (Warwick Manufacturing Group), language: English, abstract: The internet and digitalization tremendously affected many economic sectors, and both take increasingly influence over the financial services industry in Germany. New founded start-up companies, so-called FinTechs, connect innovative technologies with financial products and services and attack established players of the financial industry. While the Fintech industry constitutes a new dynamic and short-living market environment, the innovative strengths of new market entrants put pressure on financial service companies and banks in Germany. To assess the importance and impact of FinTechs on the financial industry and economy in Germany, a comprehensive amount of data including market size and market structure is needed. Particularly against the background of associated chances and risks of growing FinTech industry, an examination of the market size and impact is of tremendous importance to examine the innovative potential of FinTech business models. Low interest rates and risky business models in the aftermath of the financial crisis proved a lack of innovative thinking of banks and financial service companies in Germany. Indeed, FinTechs tend to have a stronger focus on customer needs thus closing existing market gaps better than traditional banks. Undoubtedly, this observation manifests in corporate finance when traditional banks neglect small and medium enterprises as potential clients. Particularly in market niches, FinTechs establish digital marketplaces connecting customers and facilitating the consumption of core banking products and services. Recently, the European Union announced that existing market entry barriers for FinTech start-ups would be dispelled. After the enacting of Basel II and Basel III Schindele and Szczesny (2015) analyse that core banking activities such as e. g. credit lending for small and medium enterprises became less profitable and partly even unprofitable for banks. While Dorfleitner and Hornuf (2016) confirm that notion, they highlight that the promotion of FinTech start-ups is constrained with risks but to judge the chances and risks of collaborations between FinTechs and established banks. Indeed, sufficient research is required to investigate the FinTech market in Germany and to examine how financial innovations and digitalization can help incumbents.

Book excerpt: "Banking is necessary, banks are not" – Bill Gates' famous statement from 1994 was not just provocative but also foresighted. With new technology-based providers, also known as FinTech businesses, a new player has entered the banking market and it contests the predominant role of traditional methods in financial services. Banks are now forced to ask themselves whether they can provide some additional value in comparison to digitalized FinTech companies. This applies especially to the field of retail banking. Stephan Hoppe describes the rise of the FinTech industry and outlines its impact on selected business segments of the German retail banking market. In this way his publication elaborates the threats but also the opportunities for the retail banking industry.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1.3, Technical University of Munich (School of Management), course: Innovation and Business Creation, language: English, abstract: The impact of the financial crisis was a challenge for international and German banks and a test for the robustness of their business models. The consequences were stricter financial regulations introduced by Basel III and banks were forced to reduce proprietary trading and to refocus on traditional core banking business. Today supervisory authorities require sufficient and appropriate risk management systems to ensure financial stability and thus the internal operational complexity has increased and generates additional costs. In the aftermath of the financial crisis some banks are still struggling to regain competitiveness in combination with diminishing margins. In particular those banks are challenged with high dependency from interest income by deposit-financed retail banking business. In recent years financial technology companies, commonly known as FinTech, gained more importance in the financial industry and challenge banks and established business models. Digitisation is advancing in all industries and the music and media industry has already experienced a painful transformation process and a similar development is expected as well for the financial industry. Depending on how revolutionary the technological innovation is the more intense will be the impact on business models and in consequence fast adaptability is essential. The level of activity within FinTech is enormous at the moment in Germany and over one hundred new companies were launched in 2014. As a consequence digital business models are analysed with respect to core competences and how FinTech generates benefits for customers by improving the value with innovative digital solutions.

Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to the evolving landscape of finance, highlighting how it’s changing our relationship with money and how financial technology, together with macroeconomic and societal change, is rewriting the story of how business is done in developing economies. Financial services companies are trying to become more customer focused, but struggling to help huge customer segments, particularly in developing economies. Alternative financial models and tools are emerging, which are being embraced by consumers and incumbents. In large parts of the developing world, alternative services are leapfrogging traditional finance, meaning more and more people have access to finance without ever needing a bank. Meanwhile, the barriers around financial services companies are crumbling, as they become more reliant on integration with new providers and alternative types of service. Financial products can no longer be viewed in isolation, but as part of a service landscape that supports how people do life. This means rethinking how our businesses are designed, motivated and organised, and letting go of the old ways of thinking about supply and demand. With practical steps businesses and, in particular, financial services organisations need to take to participate in a global service ecosystem, this book will be of interest to financial professionals who work in banking, financial technology, and development finance.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: This study aims to identify the current state of adoption in German banks and critical factors for traditional institutes that need to be considered when it comes to the implementation of Robo Advisory solutions. Data were collected via a questionnaire that was filled by banking employees in Germany. Factor Analysis revealed the result that selection criteria are a very important factor for banks when they decide to acquire a Robo Advisory company or cooperate with such a Fintech firm. Especially characteristics like the performance, reputation, willingness to share sufficient information and technological capability of a Robo Advisory company need to be considered. The study also revealed that the IT-infrastructure of traditional banks is often not compatible with the technology offered by Robo Advisors. This can lead to problems in the integration process and need to be an aspect in the initiation phase of such a project. Robo Advisors are one example of Fintech companies that recently have moved into the financial industry and challenge traditional banking institutes with their business models. Mostly, Fintech companies are only operating in one field of banking and try to attract customers via internet-based offers that focus on simple user interface, efficiency, transparency and automation. Robo Advisors are companies offering automated financial investment tools and can therefore be located in the segment of asset management and investment. Relevant literature has stated the need for traditional banks to react in form of cooperation with such companies, acquisition of Robo Advisors or creation of own automated investment solutions.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, accadis Hochschule Bad Homburg, language: English, abstract: “Banking is necessary, banks are not”, Bill gates already stated in 1994. Internal factors, such as low margins and cost pressures, in addition to external factors, such as the financial crisis and the prioritisation of regulatory requirements, have alienated the banking sector from its customers. The traditional banking industry is increasingly obsolete and has failed to innovate over a long period of time. According to recent researches, traditional banks will not only lose 30% of its turnover; 76% are even afraid of losing complete parts of its businesses to FinTechs. Since 2015, the use of FinTech banks have risen strongly. This has shaken the foundations of traditional institutions, as well as the earnings model, due to the technology-enabled concept of FinTechs, without physical branches. Nevertheless, some researchers evaluate the financial reshape as sceptical, on account of the inherent risk of applying technology to finance. With regards to having a point of contact, surveys have shown that individuals, including young people, continue to attach great importance to the ability to have personal contact in a branch setting. Whether Bill Gates’ statement will take place in the next few years remains to be seen. The hypothesis that is tested in the following investigates present consumer preferences for financial services, main intensions for using FinTechs, as well as potential trust issues.
