Open Banking Systems Market Analysis, By Distribution Channel, By Service Type, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 To 2025

The global open banking systems market is anticipated to grow over the forecast period in line with the advances in technology, the subsequent rise in the adoption of big data analytics, and the shifting focus of retail banks from independent technology projects to consolidated technological improvement.

Competition within the open banking systems market is intensifying as several banks are shifting their conventional focus on products to provide more customer-centric services. As such, banks are looking forward to leveraging the available customer data, advances in technology, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence to provide innovative and personalized services tailored to the changing requirements of individual customers, thereby driving the growth of the market. However, growing concerns over the misuse of personal data, online frauds, and data security are hampering the growth of the market.

The open banking system market has been segmented into distribution channel, service type, and region. Based on the distribution channel, the market has been further segmented into bank channels, app market, distributors, and aggregators. The bank channels are managing to generate revenues by offering Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that can be utilized by third-party developers to develop services and applications for financial institutions as well as by crowdsourcing the development of new technologies.

Based on service type, the market has been further segmented into transactional services, communicative services, and informative services. Transactional services are particularly popular among individuals and small businesses. On the other hand, informative services can be customized to provide account information to customers according to their needs.

Based on the region, the market has been further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). The North American regional market holds the largest market share as the banking institutions in the region are making aggressive investments in developing APIs. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market, particularly because China is increasingly adopting the open banking system. While China holds a strong potential for innovation, there are no mandatory API specifications in the country.

The key players in open banking system market include Accern Corporation, JackHenry & Associates, Inc., D3 Technology, Inc., DemystData, Figo GmbH, FinGenius, FormFree Holdings Corporation, Malauzai Software Inc., Mambu GmbH, and MineralTree, Inc. These market players are trying to strengthen their foothold in the market by adopting disruptive business models based on APIs that can be operated outside the core business of the banks. For instance, new businesses or independent challenger banks are being launched to offer specific products or to serve specific industry verticals.
