The Banking sector

The progress made by French banks since the 2007 crisis to strengthen their balance sheets and their financing structure is clear. By improving the quality of their prudential ratios and anticipating compliance with new regulatory requirements, the major banking groups are posting solid results in a macroeconomic environment that is sometimes difficult to assess.

Banks are being forced to reinvent themselves and undertake numerous transformation plans in order to respond to:

  • Market volatility and the persistently low interest rate environment
  • The decline in the net interest margin and the change in operating costs, particularly in retail banking
  • The impacts of the digital revolution
  • The emergence of new ‘neo-bank’ players capitalising on excellent customer experience and modern technological assets

Challenges

Banks are revising their business models

As a result, Banks are revising their business models, rationalising their networks, investing in their information systems and multiplying Fintech partnerships and acquisitions.

They are adapting to market trends and opening up new prospects for value creation by taking advantage of their large volume of data (Big Data and Analytics).

Banks are developing new commercial approaches

Banks are developing new commercial approaches and offers that are both technologically innovative, more accessible and increasingly customer-oriented through a smooth, simple and personalised user experience.

All these developments are likely to generate new sources of revenue but also new risks that must be managed:

  • Business continuity
  • Cybersecurity
  • Data processing, etc.
