THE STATE OF FINTECH CH TE N I F F O TE TA S E TH
Executive Summary FinTechhas transformed our daily lives thanks to personalised access to robo-advisors, innovative mobile payment solutions, instant cross-border transactions and many other applications. The evolving trend of FinTech products and services empower consumers and small businesses in ways that were unimaginable in the past. The potential disruptive innovation FinTechs bring in turn attracts significant funding from investors seeking the next BIG thing. This report draws out parallels seen between general tech trends on a macro scale and correlates them to the impact on FinTech. One highlight shows how China and India are spearheading the advancements that are shaping global trends in this sector. The cumulative total of FinTech investments in China alone outweighs all FinTech investments made in the entirety of the rest of the Asia Pacific region. The East is now in a position to innovate and not just adopt ideas coming from the west. FinTech might already seem mature, given the vast amount of funding poured into it, the increasing number of FinTech startups and corporate innovations being engineered today. Such a claim may have seemed farfetched 5 years ago when the level of funding in the FinTech industry stood at a meagre US$3.1m! Fast-forward to 2017, and in the first quarter alone, US$1.8bn has already been injected into the sector globally. CH The future of FinTech remains bright, in spite of claims that the current upward trend is a bubble. The World Bank Group TE (WBG) estimates that 42% of the global population still do not have access to a formal financial system. This presents a huge N opportunity to be tackled by FinTechs that cannot be addressed by traditional Financial Institutions. There are still untapped or I F new emerging markets waiting to be discovered. Asia has the largest percentage of the under-banked population and a large F O growing middle class who will soon need new solutions to address their wealth management and banking needs. TE TA Together, Startupbootcampand PwC have put together this report to provide a holistic view of the FinTech industry, starting S E from its current state, discussing where FinTech is headed, and the technological advances and geographical context that will TH lead it there. 2

Funding Highlights - Cybersecurity The network security segment has received the largest amount of funding with a total of US$4.2bn to date. However, the proliferation of smart devices has led to a rise in cyberattacks as these provide more access points (RFID, GPS, WiFi, etc.) and have historically been shipped with outdated software. And, although investments in this space have been historically low, we can expect funding to increase going forward.

31 Chinese Dragons Are Leading The Tide of a Rising FinTech Wave in Asia According to the Economist, mainland China’s middle class is expected to account for more than a third of its population by 2030. By then, 35% of the population wil have annual disposable income in excess of US US$10,000, up from about 10 per cent today. And, while in the West, the major FinTech hubs (London, New York and Silicon Valley) have been innovating through incremental CH changes, China’s technology giants have been revolutionising many TE aspects of the financial services industry.

36 India Leading The Way For Digital Banking India has taken a number of steps that have ultimately enabled the launch of pureplaydigital banks, these include: 01 Aadhaar, launched in 2009 aims to provide a unique identification to all citizens of India. The authentication is based on biometrics and although this was originally intended to facilitate the delivery of government welfare services, it has now become an important part of customer onboardinganddigitalKYCverification 02 The United Payments Interface aims to make peer to peer transactions as CH fast and as easy as sending a text message. The other integral focus of UPI TE is interoperability (i.e. allowing transactions across banks). N I F F O TE TA S E TH Global FinTech Trends: India 36
37 India: World's First Unified Payment Interface India’s largest demonetisation was exercised on 8 November, 2016. All Rs 500 and Rs1,000 notes were abruptly withdrawn in a bid against black money, terror funding, corruption and fake currency proliferation. In search for a new alternative to replace cash, Indian citizens turned to digital transactions, which witnessed a 400 – 1,000% increase since the beginning of the demonetisation. At the same time, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the body that CH governs all retail payments in India, unveiled a new payment system called Unified TE PaymentInterfaceorUPI,whichenables: N I F 01 Payment systems to be fully interoperable across all payment system players, F O enabling funds to be transferred between mobile wallets from different financial TE institutions TA S E 02 Smartphones to double up as virtual debit cards for sending and receiving money TH instantly Global FinTech Trends: India 37

39 “Over the last five years, we have invested over S$5 billion in our technology and infrastructure, enabling us to develop products and platforms to meet our customers’ needs. From re-architecting our technology infrastructure to transforming our front end, we are becoming digital to the core. The bank’s customers, both individuals and corporates alike, are increasingly engaging and transacting more with us digitally. Some examples of our new services include digibank, India’s first branchless, paperless and signature-less bank; DBS iWealth, a platform that allows clients to conduct their banking transactions, manage their wealth and trade; and online account opening for SMEs. Coupled with a focus on agile methodology and journey thinking, we have been able to improve our speed to market and overall customer experience.

Not “ only do they trust their wealth managers with financial matters, they also trust that their financial advice takes into account their wider family and social needs and their life aspirations. A financial butler is another way of looking at this relationship. Two important pillars that will support this - the digitalization of the wealth managementbusinessandmakingadvicethecorebusiness,notproducts.

RegTech, a Sector on the Rise Ever since the 2008 financial crisis, regulators have been tightening legislation. Banks have responded to this by hiring thousands of compliance officers, thus solving an important problem by increasing headcount. This is even more the case in Asia where banks need to deal with many different regulatory regimes. Currently 80% of the AML budget of banks is related to headcount as many background checks are still done manually by large AML teams. And, while complex cases will continue to require human CH oversight, many of the lower-risk checks could be automated. TE N I F F And, unlike in FinTech, where there is some element of disruption O andcompetition, RegTech is an area where all parties benefit from TE TA working together.

“ Picture 2020 in a urban centre somewhere in Asia. Insurance has changed. Insurance companies have changed, in fact some of them are unrecognisable. Customers are asking for brands by name and are giving insurance companies credit for “changing their lives” by helping them avoid risk. Health has become a central part of what insurance companies deliver. And much of the friction of buying insurance has been smoothed out, thanks to a couple of dozen Insurtechs that have stepped up and reimagined small bits of the way insurance used to be done. Agents are now augmented advisors. Claims are seamless and automatic. Solutions are intelligent and tailored. Further, risk products are being embedded into other categories. Behind all CH this is software enabling change through APIs. Still, some insurers and many TE insurtechs have fallen far behind and have been slow to let go or slow to partner. The N customers of those brands who have taken the lead are the real winners. I F F O Zia Zaman TE Chief Innovation Officer TA S E TH The Future of FinTech in Asia Pacific: InsurTech 70
