Product Description
This Financial Insights study provides a detailed analysis of the Western European small and medium-sized banking segment. Because these banks are undergoing huge changes and the segment as a whole is passing through a considerable transformation, it is worth investigating what is changing and its effects. Key questions addressed in this Financial Insights research are: Which are the major challenges that small and medium-sized banks will face in the next years? Which are the most important trends and priorities that shape the segment, and how is the situation going to evolve? Which are the IT concerns of small and medium-sized banks? Which is the role played by banking consortia and payment processors? Which are the IT spending trends in small and medium-sized banks? In particular, according to Angela Vacca, senior research analyst for European IT Opportunity: Financial Services research, "The segment of small and medium-sized banks is under particular pressure because the internationalization of the marketplace, the consolidation of the banking industry, and new regulations are somehow favoring global financial institutions. Still, in Europe there is a notable tradition and a very populated segment of smaller institutions that are finding new ways to compete in the market. These banks can represent a relevant market for IT vendors targeting the financial services industry." |
