CXO Diaries episode 2: The BFSI-fintech partnership to create better consumer experiences

Back in the day, traditional banks eyed fintechs as competitors, but today they see them as valuable partners to better engage with their customers. The pandemic has resulted in massive adoption of digital payments and today's consumer is enabled via mobile banking and digital wallets, right from essential purchases to executing financial transactions, from the safety and comfort of their homes. As the ecosystem evolves, the collaboration between banks and fintechs offers customers a simple and effective way to buy and subscribe to consumer products and services at the click of a button.

According to a report by PwC, 94 percent of financial services companies said they were confident that fintech would help to grow their company’s revenue over the next two years.
