As digital banking rises to replace the more traditional industry, one phenomenon has arisen hand-in-hand with it and that is the use of biometric technologies.
The rise of digital banking has taken the traditional financial sector by surprise and for many good reasons. From pioneering the art of customer service online to using artificial intelligence to handle many of their operational tasks, digital banking is not just a glimpse of the future of finance. It is a peek into the future of the world of business itself.
The fast-changing world of digital business is one in which staying ahead of the competition is often as much about thinking outside of the box as it is anything else.
But that’s much harder than it might seem at first glance, especially for firms in highly-competitive environments.

At Consult Hyperion we always round off the year with some time reflecting on what has been, and kicking off our thinking for what’s ahead. This is our Live 5. Readers over the years will know our Live 5 traditionally takes market insight, coupled with research and conversations with our clients; then we consolidate our thinking and detail four short- to medium-term trends and one that’s perhaps not as obvious, or maybe a little further out. When we reviewed previous years, we’ve been a pretty good weather vane. 2020 has been a year like no other, so our Live 5 is taking a slightly different approach. If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that the best laid plans can be rendered irrelevant by a “black swan” event.

The list can go on and on. What a good 21st century bank needs is security, scalability, flexibility, availability, and adaptability. So, where do you get it all, nicely packed and with a bow on top at a low cost?
