How technology enables new business models in banking

Tuum Co-founder & CBO Rivo Uibo joins Adrian KIee, Partner & Digital Banking Strategist at Ross Republic, in the 11th episode of RR podcast.

Banks are feeling the pinch. A report by SNL Financial has found that, as of Autumn 2020, the banking industry was trading at a historically low 50 percent discount to the broader market, with 79 percent of banks trading below book value. With profitability currently under pressure for banks throughout Europe and a market that is becoming increasingly crowded by disruptive challengers, banks are now juggling the priorities of reducing operational costs and discovering new revenue streams.

Tuum CBO, Rivo Uibo, recently sat down with Adrian Klee for the latest episode of the Ross Republic podcast. During this discussion, they explored how banks continue to be hamstrung by their legacy systems and how, by leveraging modern technologies, they can build upon their inherent advantages of customer loyalty and fortress balance sheets to chase new archetypal business models and gain the potential to operate as orchestrators in the new financial ecosystem.

“When you really want to have an impact on your bottom line, you should pursue a gradual change inside of the ‘mothership’ of operations. Otherwise, you will be layering costs: the cost of maintaining legacy technology, the cost to procure and implement new technology, and the cost of keeping the new and old in sync.”
