Future Challenges and Upcoming Plans
FinTechs, banks, and the “big four” (Amazon, Facebook, Google and Alibaba – AFGA) are the key actors of the industry. With the banks still in the trap of their outdated mindset, the collaboration between FinTechs and incumbents is the focus of SDK.finance’s agenda. Every market participant should be aware that changing the customer experience, not making the cost structure more efficient, is the ultimate goal. The founders believe that major changes are yet to come and when the “big four” join the party, the process will kick into high gear.
