Seperating Men from the Boys.
Those who don’t innovate, evaporate!
The financial services world is today the largest customer for technology. In spite of several regulations, the sector has been constantly innovating to see
that they retain the competitive edge and offer better experience.
I was reading an interesting world report on the fintechs, where it was mentioned that Indian fintech is just coming of age but has a long way to go in comparison with the fintech ecosystems in UK, Singapore, Silicon valley, Hongkong and many other parts of the world. A deeper probing into this specially with the industry customers reveals that the Indian fintech ecosystem lacks a systematic approach with an effective governance system laid to encourage the process of innovation. Shortcuts to save costs without adhering to quality standards also hamper the sector’s growth.
The BFSI sector in the country is strongly supporting the cause of tech innovations and that’s evident from the increasing contribution of the BFSI CXOs in the various jury panels including Technoviti. Regulators have pledged their support to this in all parts of the world, be it the UK where there is encouragement for creating a worldwide fintech association and aiding it with regulation and in Singapore where MAS and ABA work strongly together. Former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has spoken about supporting fintechs till they mature and then creating regulations which would give them a smooth entry into the system.
In its 3-year-old expedition to find innovations in the technology space, Banking Frontiers has had a wonderful support from industry CXOs as well as KPMG. We could identify some key pain areas of the sector and brought to the fore what the companies are doing to ease the industry of these pains.
We have found some real gems and their out of the world innovations in this edition of Technoviti. Some of the innovations selected are quite incremental in nature. We believe a combination of both these are needed to support the ecosystem reach the next levels.
This year, we have embarked on TIES as the theme of Technoviti where we look at Transperancy, Instant, Experience and Secure as the four fundamental pillars, which can determine the success of innovation.
This compendium outlines the innovations that could make it to the list of the top 26 in Technoviti. We invite you to go through these innovative products.
We thank the members of the Jury and the Team KPMG consisting of Eric, Dennis and their consulting members, who have supported Technoviti during the past two years to make it an outstanding success.
Thank you,

Demonetization and Digitization has accelerated the pace of digital development
for India. Many have touted it as being a classic case of execution failure and yet
others have cited it as an example of putting the cart before the horse. Albeit, if we
were to pause for a second, ignore the polarizing views and ponder over yet another
perspective – a newer story emerges! It is indeed the push the financial services sector
lacked. Engagements that were once considered low priority or too risky have found
their way into the core banking strategy. This has paved the way for rapid development
across a stream of initiatives related to infrastructure modernization and coopetition.
Banks should look at improving the following: improvising data driven insights,
improving customer experience through faster turnarounds, reducing cost advantages
for incumbents, granulizing digital customer lifecycle management, leveraging cloud,
newer technologies for reduced capex costs and streamlining the organizational
structure to foster an innovative environment. On the other hand, Fintechs can focus
on: lowering customer acquisition costs (primary strategic advantage over banks),
increasing cost savings due to lower upfront investments, monetizing captured
data and focusing on customer segmentation basis – millennials who seek instant
gratification and underbanked entities who form a part of the financial inclusion
initiative. Fintechs and Banks have varied priorities currently but they should hunt
for synergy opportunities and leverage cross skill-sets to mitigate risks for longer
sustenance.
The nominations received this year were broadly innovative but as the formal
knowledge partner, we dived-in further and adopted over 10 parameters structured
broadly across disruption potential, scalability and seamless integration into existing
environments to clearly demarcate men from the boys. The final list as with every year
provides a comprehensive view on technologies and sub-domains heating up within
the BFSI space in India.
Technoviti strives to identify emerging thespians in the disruptive financial technology
space on an ongoing year-on-year basis and this compendium will serve as a guiding
light for identifying emerging trends within intricate patterns and high potential
functions within complex sectors. Finally, I hope the structure and content is an easy-
read and helps you cut through all the Fintech noise.

Pure SoftwareArttha Nepal - Digital Banking for Cooperative Banks in Nepal
Arttha Nepal was conceptualized
to provide a sub-$300 solution to
cooperative banks in Nepal wherein these
banks can provide digital and innovative
services to their customer which otherwise
would have been impractical and
unaffordable for them. Arttha is a cloud-
based solution, using which the banks
can provide digital banking interface over
USSD, and mobile applications. Some
of the key features of the solution are
cardless ATM transfers, P2P transfers, bill
payments, merchant payments, balance
checks and fund transfer to non-banked
customers. Customer can operate multiple
banks accounts in multiple banks using
this service. The product is now being
used by 160 cooperative banks in the
country. One of the innovative uses of the
product is cardless ATM withdrawals. The
transactions are initiated using USSD or
mobile app and covers both withdrawals
by customers or those authorized by them.
The simple to use interface is available in
English and local language.
The Arttha platform is designed to be
fail proof under high loads. The transaction
that is initiated is bound to be completed
else the customers always receive a
relevant message on the status of their
transactions. As none of the cooperative
banks can afford the cost and risk of
exposing their systems to using static
public IP, the bank’s banking software
initiates a network connection to Arttha
Nepal cloud and together they form a
secured tunnel for communication. The
tunnel is designed to be self-healing in
case of any network issues. The tunnel
used proprietary protocol and RSA based
encryption.

The Artificial Intelligence Enabled Virtual
Assistant is based on Natural Language
Processing (NLP) technology. The tool can
automate proactive text-related and voice
engagement
channels such as live agent support, live
chat, consumer messaging apps or SMS.
The self-service application helps callers
carry out their banking transactions or
general inquiries using their phone banking
applications. In situations where the caller
is unable to find the related services in the
self-service menu, he can choose menu
options routed to the designated phone
banking officer for assistance. The current
limitation is that the self-service application
is a DTMF based input and callers have
to go through all the set of menus to
complete any transaction using phone
banking. Using call steering and all routing,
the solution lets customers use their own
words to describe why they are calling.
It then routes the callers to the right self-
service application or agent group. The
system results in improved satisfaction,
fewer misrouted calls, and greater self-
service automation by connecting callers
quickly to the service they need. It also
allows as many as 15 new additional self-
service features along with the existing
features available in Personal and Priority
Banking Self Service application. The
company claims that an entity with 5 million
calls a year, 30% automation and a 25%
misroute rate could save well over a million
dollars a year with the tool.

Banks need middle layer to receive
various service requests, put them in
appropriate queues and call the APIs to
interface with related application / DB and
send back response to the customer in a
secure manner so that it is received only by
him and not by any unauthorized person.
The existing middleware used are costly
and IDBI Intech has developed in-house
an application, which is a mini enterprise
service bus, and which can function as an
interface to various application such as
net banking, social banking etc. It ensures
complete encryption of the user data to
and fro between specific application and
the application server. i-BUS is powered
with REST services built using SPRING
MVC. As i-BUS is hosted on internet, it has
an ability to be used for API banking which
will be a future revenue generator for
the bank.
As a business functionality, i-BUS
can service any request from the bank
customer and each of the delivery channel
does not require separate backend
processes. It provides ease to introduce
any new delivery channel as only the
frontend needs to be developed for while
the backend is universal. The encryption
algorithm on top of AES 2048-bit algorithm
addresses all the security concerns. The
APls integrate the backend processes.

VueFrame Version 9.0 is a risk
monitoring tool that enables
continuous monitoring of business controls,
translating the control compromises into
risk scores. It is a centralized risk monitoring
mechanism. With its auto masking
functionalities, it gives an organization an
enterprise capability of safe data sharing
among all lines of defense internally
while promoting sharing as required with
external stakeholders. While banks have
multiple control reports/exception and
transaction monitoring systems they lack
a unified view of risk at branches. There
are multiple initiatives and these initiatives
lead to creation of genuine risk scores that
can identify branches where risks are high,
and VueFrame provides a framework to
convert these analytics into risk scores at
each branch. This can lead to a scientific
and intelligent matrix for better risk
management. The framework also provides
flexibility to fit different data models for
risk, fraud, excellence, compliance on one
platform and cater three lines of defense
through one application.
