With recent legal developments, the financial sector continues to digitize and automate its businesses. Management companies and wealth management advisers have been indirectly encouraged to go digital by various regulations, notably MiFID, MiFID II, and MiFIR. By updating their IT services in order to adapt to these new regulations, management companies are digitizing the services they offer to their customers, such as identity verification, profile/product matching.

European DSP2 regulations require banks to open their banking information systems to third-party services through the use of APIs.

Regarding insurance, although no regulation obliges them to do so, they have decided to follow this trend of digitalization and openness to third parties in order to be able to diversify via partnerships and better respond to the demands of their customers. Insurance companies are also developing their APIs.

However, adapting to the regulations is not and will not be enough to remain competitive. Indeed, as the Swedish fintech Tink reveals in its report “Open Banking: In the minds of French bankers” published in December 2019, 61% of European financial institutions think that those who do only the minimum required by the DSP2 will lose of the field against more innovative competitors.
