Current adoption is primarily from global banks, with single tower BPS engagements, with vendors typically delivering elemental processes focused on disputes, reconciliation, and data management, from offshore centers.
The top drivers of retail banking BPS are:
- Mature markets: lack of market growth (i.e. new customers) has reduced ability to share overheads across larger revenue base. Banks look for support to harvest optimum value from a stagnant customer base. Also, younger customers (still a small part of the opportunity) prefer to engage banks in a non-legacy fashion, which requires non-bank support to implement
- Emerging markets: high cost of entry and variation across low volume markets drives the need for low cost third party support. Third party shared services amortize the costs of new market entry (and where possible provides local market knowledge) and aggregates volumes to benefit from scale.
Pricing is rapidly shifting from per FTE (~60% of market) to per transaction (~40% of market). Transaction pricing is preferred where a vendor provides capital based BPS (e.g. infrastructure, software, or network). RB BPS engagements are increasingly requiring ITS services, which use per FTE or fixed price methods.
