Summary
Digital transformation is rapidly changing financial services. Innovation is key, but though Financial Service Providers consider themselves innovative they are generally not perceived as such. One reason is that innovation is not just about introducing new technologies but very much about developing solutions that work in the human context. This is what Finthropology helps companies understand. We talk about what qualitative research has to offer and give examples from our own research in Brazil and Switzerland.

Pix is a free and instant payment transfer available through your bank
17:35:31 From Pasi Sinervo to Everyone:
In Nordic countries one problem is that all services are online services and offices are hard to enter. Tech Mahindra and Union Bank of India have co-operation to open Bank Office in Metaverse. Younger are happy to use such a lounge, but what about those who are accustomed to personal service on desk. Would some of that group like Metaverse Office. If so you are not stuck to concrete difficulties to get into office.
17:46:48 From Neil Thomson to Everyone:
This suggests that financial dealings are heavily influenced by the "reputation" of the financial service provider, which can be culturally based.
17:47:06 From Pasi Sinervo to Everyone:
Interesting finding as mobile device is regarded more secure than laptop and the newest devices have enclave type security component, of course Apple has a reputation as very secure device

17:52:14 From Nicky Hickman to Everyone:
Key insight for me: We consistently underestimate people and their capabilities, we make judgement calls on their knowledge, skills - missing out on a lot of talent and ingenuity
17:53:16 From Neil Thomson to Everyone:
Observation - if there is money to be saved or better ways to use money, the financial incentive spurs learning of new tech.
17:55:18 From Nicky Hickman to Everyone:
I think this social aspect of financial services is crucial, the bank = the person, reliance on friends & family & shared accounts - we need to think more about the group than we do currently in the world of digital ID
17:56:23 From Judith Fleenor (Trust Over IP) to Everyone:
Thank you for the presentation. I need to drop to get to another meeting. Appreciate your insights.
17:57:51 From Neil Thomson to Everyone:
If personal interaction is the preferred delivery for consumers of a service, then perhaps the primary "user" for financial (or other services) are those intermediary persons who consumers interact vs. (or in addition to) consumer UI.
18:01:09 From Pasi Sinervo to Everyone:
EUDIWallet consortium has as proposal digital identity for legal persons, because then it could be possible to confirm certain verifications at payment; like this bank is registered this bank has a license this bank has no tax debt and so on
