Direct Bank
When launching branchless direct banks, community banks, de novos and Fintechs need to focus on a few key areas. They need the ability to get up and running quickly and cost-effectively, the flexibility to deliver unique and compelling experiences and the agility to introduce new innovations at a rapid pace.
Overview
It's never been easier to offer financial services through a digital platform, with no brick-and-mortar presence. Advancements in API, cloud, digital and real-time technology have intersected with the growing desire for fast, easy and mobile-first capabilities. These expectations are especially strong among the next generation of consumers who are digital natives.
A variety of banks and Fintechs are moving fast to meet these expectations by creating digital-only enterprises, or direct banks. Some are traditional financial institutions launching separately branded direct banks to drive deposits, some are de novos with a vision for digital differentiation and others are Fintechs looking to expand their disruptive digital offerings with banking services.
Direct banks enjoy an obvious cost advantage that enables them to offer more attractive pricing than brick-and-mortar banks.
