The State of Digital Banking in the UK
- The UK's financial system has been witnessing a change with the emergence of challenger banks and fintech companies alongside traditional banks.
- Challenger banks offer digital-first experiences with services accessible through mobile applications.
- Despite being innovative, challenger banks are subject to the same regulatory measures as bigger players like traditional banks.
- The introduction of open banking in the UK aimed to foster competition by mandating larger banks to share customer data via APIs with regulated entities.
- Challenger banks are facing challenges in maintaining a competitive edge as traditional banks are also adopting digital strategies and leveraging APIs.
- Some banks, like HSBC, have embraced API publishing and modern developer portals as part of their digital transformation.
- Fintech products using open banking data have expanded access to credit, streamlined mortgage applications, and improved energy and telecom tariffs.
- While some traditional banks are commercializing APIs, others are slow to embrace API technology, impacting their competitiveness.
- The evolving landscape of digital banking has blurred the lines between incumbent banks, challenger banks, and fintech companies.
- The future of banking involves collaboration with fintech partners, ecosystem expansion, and leveraging open data to create innovative financial solutions.
- The UK's commitment to open banking and fintech signals a shift towards a smart data economy, with significant growth potential in the coming years.

‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners
- Many individuals in the UK who cannot or choose not to use mobile apps, like Michael in his late 50s, feel penalized for their decision, despite owning a smartphone.
- Apps have become ubiquitous, offering convenience with one-click access, push notifications, and enhanced security features, leading to a surge in digital exclusion for those without smartphones.
- Digital exclusion and pro-cash campaigners argue that millions unable to afford smartphones or access certain services are being deprived of discounts, deals, and essential services.
- The rise of app-exclusive deals presents challenges to individuals such as missing out on loyalty scheme benefits, savings, and rewards from retailers like Lidl, Asda, Boots, Greggs, Asos, and Screwfix.
- The app trend extends to essential services like parking, causing inconvenience for many, especially the elderly, leading to concerns over accessibility and equal participation.
- The offer of exclusive deals and rewards via apps extends to sectors such as entertainment venues, where mobile apps have become the primary method for ticket access.
- In the food and beverage industry, app-only deals and loyalty schemes by chains like McDonald's, Subway, Sizzling Pubs, and Harris + Hoole exclude non-app users from attractive discounts and rewards.
- App-only banking services, offering competitive savings rates, are increasingly popular, with app-based providers like Atom Bank, Chip, and Plum attracting savers with high-interest accounts.
- Traditional banks like HSBC also introduce app-only services, like the Global Money service, signaling a shift towards digital banking exclusively accessible through mobile apps.
