Making customer journeys effortless for the client through co-creation with startups.
When you mix the bold innovation of today’s tech startups with the insights and resources of a forward-thinking banking group, amazing things happen.
BNP Paribas is committed to working side by side with today’s savviest tech entrepreneurs to unlock creativity and apply breakthrough solutions to real-life situations in order to make life easier for our customers.
1. New ways of interacting with clients (B2C)
How new techs can shape the interactions our clients have with the bank:
- Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality
- ChatBot
- Integrating our offers in social media & third party platforms
- ROBOT (physical robot focus, not ‘process automation/robotics)
Today, people are used to have what they need on the spot, available in just two clicks. The internet giants have fix a new level playing the field in terms of services and our customers expect the same from their bank. Most of them no longer understand why they should take an afternoon off in order to get an appointment with their banker.
Banks need to leverage one the latest technologies to allow interactions to happen anywhere & any time when the customer need it the most. These moments of truth should be serviced by every means possible (AI/VR/Robot/Chatbot/…)
2. Offer new e-services to our Wealth & Private banking clients (B2C)
- Share your investment with Friends
- Facilitate informal investment club
- E-vault & Account aggregation
- New way of visualisation for your portfolio
- Crowdfunding
- Donation
- Facilitate philanthropic actions
My shopping experience has drastically changed the last few years and I except the same from my private bank. However, except for the basic banking services I need to dedicate a lot of time to manage all the aspects of my finance (investing, credit, searching info, finding opportunities, structure, understand, handling documents….). My time is definitely precious and I would like my bank to facilitate and aggregate all the services around my finance. I also like to be implicated in the opinions of my peers and the trends in the wealth community.
3. Internet of things & Sharing Economy: how will they transform equipment assets/finance? (B2B)
The Internet of things enables objects to collect and exchange data. Then, it should be possible to collect data from the asset that is financed through our leasing company and to adapt the equipment according to the use. With keeping in mind that after the duration period of the finance, the capital needs to be recomposed for 100%. Our B- 2-B customers are demanding more convenience and tailored solutions. With that in mind, how could the Sharing Economy impact the way our clients use and finance an asset ? How could the Internet of things improve the services we offer to them? We are thinking about pay per use, being able to predict future investments of our partners, and keep track of reparation and maintenance cycles.
4. Companies simply do only use 10% of their brain
Urban legend or not? Most companies today are looking for ways to unlock the potential in what they know about their clients, markets, businesses… Are there secret patterns to discover and interpret? Which yet to be designed algorithm could support their strategic decisions? How to anonymise company data to the extent that it still remains a friendly and eligible asset? How to responsibly marry a client’s privacy with the exploitation of the valuable information he represents?
A lot of hurdles exist in this rat race to go from prophecy to profit, yet that only makes Data Analytics the most interesting field to innovate. So, join our hackathon and come up with your great ideas, algorithms and methods to exploit the other 90% of our brains.
