Opportunities

• Penetration of advanced analytics solutions in the banking sector

Nowadays, banks are increasingly using analytics to gain a competitive advantage and to form conclusions and insights based on the information and data collection. Advanced analytics can be used to predict customer behavior and preferences and to improve risk assessment. Sometimes data generated by banking and finance industries are of large scale, and these are not possible for the bank to handle with their traditional database. Therefore, analytics have paved a path for financial industries to handle a large amount of data at a time.

Furthermore, the digital world has made a revolution in the banking industry. Most of the advanced analytics solutions for banking are comprised of four different components: reporting, descriptive analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics. Financial institutions can now target and engage customers on a continuous basis, and not just when they go into a branch. Their reach now includes customers who use mobile apps, ATMs, and online banking apps. Banks also can use analytics to offer customized products, services, and deals to customers based on their profiles and histories. Moreover, analytics in the banking world also helps to identify and prevent fraud. Banks use advanced analytics to compare customer usage patterns against their own fraud indicators and can immediately take action when potentially fraudulent activity is detected. The overall penetration of analytics in banking is still relatively low compared to its usage in other industries. However, the penetration of analytics in the banking sector is creating a lot of opportunities for the treasury software market to grow.

Through this information and data, it becomes easy for fraudsters and cyber attackers to mimic or steal the identity of an individual, which can be used for various crimes.

According to an S&P Middle East and Africa study on the share of Middle East and Africa cyber-attacks incidents across the industries in the past five years from 2016 to 2021, financial institutions have topped the list with 26% cybersecurity incidents followed by healthcare 11%, software and technology services at 7% and retail at 6%.
