Digital Transformation of 
U.S. Private Banking 
The unrelenting digitization of business, amid continuous regulatory 
change and soaring operational costs, is materially impacting 
U.S. private banks, requiring them to rethink their business models 
and accelerate their push to meet the ever-rising expectations of 
digitally savvy high-net-worth clients.
cognizant reports 2 
Executive Summary 
Even as they struggle to generate new wealth in 
a mature market amid ever-growing regulations, 
U.S. wealth managers face a wave of digitiza-tion 
that will completely transform the way they 
interact with the wealthy, and especially the 
young wealthy. Across age groups, wealthy 
Americans are tech-savvy, digitally connected 
and accustomed to unprecedented levels of 
personalized engagement with Web commerce 
leaders. Digital technologies have enabled 
consumers to access information, interact and 
collaborate with peers and conduct transactions 
on an anytime/anywhere basis through mobile 
smart devices. As these experiences become 
embedded in their daily lives, wealthy inves-tors 
expect a similar experience in the wealth 
management area. Specifically, they want more 
tools that help them make investment decisions 
and provide flexible ways to interact with their 
financial services advisors. 
For private banks, however, the implications 
of digitization go beyond meeting customer 
demands. The SMAC StackTM (social, mobile, ana-lytics 
and cloud) can transform private banking 
business models by enabling an integrated and 
cohesive enterprise architecture that powers new 
business capabilities beyond what is delivered by 
the existing assortment of disconnected digital 
technologies. A successful transition to process 
digitization will create efficiencies by automat-ing 
back- and middle-office tasks. It will also pro-vide 
an analytical boost that helps banks better 
understand their customers’ changing needs and 
proactively create offerings and services. For 
advisors, a robust enterprise architecture will 
provide them with easier access to client data, 
allowing them to deliver high-value advice. 
Customer centricity has always been the essence 
of private banking. Now, banks need to extend 
customer centricity with the power of digital 
technologies. Banks can better understand their 
clients’ digital journeys by collecting and analyz-ing 
the data generated by their digital behav-iors 
and online activities, which we call a Code 
Halo™ 1 (the digital information that accumulates 
around people, organizations and devices). By 
getting to know customers by analyzing their 
Code Halos, banks can begin offering more 
personalized products and services that meet and 
anticipate customer needs. Doing so will mitigate 
the risk of losing mindshare and market share, 
create operational efficiencies, drive product 
innovation, improve customer acquisition and 
retention, and enhance regulatory compliance. 
We believe the key imperatives for private banks 
to succeed in the digital age are: 
• Create a holistic “digital-first” banking strategy. 
• In addition to a long-term strategy that defines 
the digital blueprint, develop tactical plans 
that deliver quick wins. 
• Understand their digital maturity and readi-ness 
before embarking on transformational 
change. 
• Create tools to empower both clients and 
advisors. 
• Build a business model that enables flexible 
and adaptable pricing and product strategies. 
• Drive change in a way that addresses the 
concerns of everyone impacted by digitization. 
Forces Driving the Need for 
Digitization in Private Banking 
Customer Adoption of Digital 
Wealthy U.S. investors have always been ahead 
of private banks on the technology adoption 
curve. With digital technologies, however, the gap 
is huge – and growing. The reason: Consumer-facing 
technologies – mobiles, tablets and related 
services – have evolved so rapidly and gone main-stream 
so quickly that private banks have had to 
scurry to catch up. 
The importance of digital technologies to wealthy 
U.S. investors is set to accelerate (see Figure 1, 
next page). In a recent study, over 80% of Gen X 
and Y millionaires and 25% of baby boomers said 
they like trying new technologies.2 The former 
want apps that reduce reliance on face-to-face 
meetings with advisors. They are self-driven and 
feel knowledgeable about investing; unlike boom-ers, 
they look for validation, not delegation, of 
their investment decisions to advisors.3 For the 
mass affluent in the U.S., social media is a driver 
of action (see Figure 2, next page). 
For wealth managers, the larger trend is clear: 
Investors want private banks to use technology 
that empowers them with wealth management 
tools and provides advice anytime, anywhere.
cognizant reports 3 
confidence. They want to see their advisors focus 
on generating wealth, accompanied by strong risk 
management and wealth protection frameworks. 
Pressure to Boost Revenue and Contain Costs 
U.S. private banks are increasingly under ressure 
to generate higher returns, even as costs con-tinue 
to increase (see Figure 3, next page). Over 
the past few years, rising costs have only been 
marginally lower than revenue growth.4 High 
advisor compensation and growing compliance 
and risk management costs are major factors 
that are likely to increase unless they are proac-tively 
addressed. Private banks, therefore, must 
build capabilities that will allow them to do more 
with less. The steps to get there include greater 
process automation, cost-cutting, better use of 
enterprise data to improve advisor productivity, 
and the ability to provide differentiated advice 
that boosts client retention (see Figure 4, next 
page). 
Many private banks had added some level of 
automation to customer-facing processes, but 
systems are still vulnerable to errors caused by 
manual intervention. Along with ever-present 
demand for transparency, client data security and 
compliance reporting requires banks to access 
data on both a regular and ad hoc basis, private 
banks also need real-time access to data and the 
ability to capture, analyze and visualize this data 
for business purposes, such as CRM, trading and 
portfolio management. Real-time access to data 
is also necessary for monitoring various metrics 
related to internal processes. This data needs 
to be high-quality and highly relevant. Banks, 
therefore, must create advanced analytical 
capabilities that can help them glean insights 
from continuously growing data. Banks operating

Advisors Need Digital to Build Trust 
Empowered customers need equally empow-ered 
advisors. When advisors are equipped with 
smart devices loaded with useful apps that 
provide real-time access to client informa-tion, 
they can be more productive and provide 
the most relevant offers and advice based on 
the client’s risk profile. Social media is an effec-tive 
tool for improving client communications 
and understanding their sentiment and behavior 
patterns. 
The need to go digital is accentuated by client 
demand for transparency on pricing and product 
bundling/unbundling. For investors, past perfor-mance 
is just one factor used to assess advisor

in multiple geographies will need systems that 
can manage cross-border data related to clients 
and regulations. 
Banks need to aim for seamless digital processes 
with minimal manual intervention in their back 
offices. In the front office, where human inter-action 
matters more, “high touch” should be 
augmented with digital offerings that can enhance 
advice quality and advisor productivity, lead-ing 
to reduced costs and an improved customer 
experience. 
Regulations 
Private banks are besieged by regulations all over 
the globe, and the resulting data requirements 
are overwhelming their existing systems. Banks 
also need to create a holistic and real-time view 
of their risk management efforts. In such a sce-nario, 
automated regulatory reporting processes 
can ease the pressure on bank resources. 
Private Banks’ Technology Gap 
For most private banks, the job of catching up 
with digital technology advancements seems 
to have just begun. Figure 5 (next page) offers 
a perspective of where private banks stand 
relative to digital technology adoption to improve 
the customer experience. Recent surveys add 
additional insights into the current state of affairs: 
• MyPrivateBanking analyzed 30 global wealth 
managers and found that only seven manage 
a Facebook page, while 14 provide wealth man-agement 
Twitter streams.5 
• MyPrivateBanking also found that wealth man-agement

integration and transparency in areas such as 
communicating portfolio performance, assets 
under management and advisor remuneration.6 
• According to the Boston Consultancy Group,7 
40% to 60% of high net worth (HNW) inves-tors 
want to video-chat with their advisors, but 
only 20% of advisors offer that capability. 
• Whereas 60% of clients want investment 
recommendations and portfolio analysis 
delivered online on both Web and mobile 
applications, only half of wealth management 
firms offer such a service.8 
Legacy Systems and Mindsets 
One crucial factor that hampers private banks’ 
ability to meet clients’ digital expectations is 
legacy systems. Wealth management firms 
have taken a stop-gap approach, adopting new 
technologies rather than undertaking a complete 
replacement. This has led to the creation of com-plex, 
fragmented and hard-to-manage systems 
that come with long-term implications in the 
form of high operational costs and inefficiency. 
Only 9% of wealth managers even consider digi-tal 
channels as a top corporate priority, a clear 
indication of how much digital technology is 
underestimated.9 
Such low interest has a direct impact on advisor 
productivity. At a time when organizations across 
industries are looking for ways to use big data and 
analytics to glean insights about customers, prod-ucts 
and processes, private banks lag behind when 
it comes to harnessing data for actionable business 
analytics and decision-making. According to the 
CEB,10 only 36% of advisors trust their firm’s 
ability to do this. 
In direct contrast, digital natives (technology-driven, 
non-bank wealth management firms) are 
striking the right chords with their tech-savvy 
customers by interacting through digital chan-nels. 
In doing so, they are able to operate at 
lower costs and pass on the benefits to their cli-ents. 
At one such startup, the New York-based 
financial advisory firm Betterment, almost 60% 
of the 40,000 customers reportedly use its app 
while accessing the Web site almost exclusively 
on their mobile phones.11 
It is not surprising, then, that wealth management 
firms are scrambling to meet the digital needs of 
their tech-savvy clients.12 
The Promise of Digital 
What Private Banks Can Expect from 
Digital Transformation 
It may have been inconceivable just a few years 
ago, but the SMAC Stack is making it possible to 
perform investment transactions entirely through 
digital channels. For example, clients at more 
progressive firms will soon receive daily updates 
on portfolio performance through a mobile app. 
They will be able to track the bank’s social media 
posts for further updates and ultimately video-conference 
with their advisors for making a buy-sell 
decision. 
Citi Private Bank, for example, recently began 
providing data-driven research features, such 
as what-if scenarios, portfolio views and per-formance 
analysis tools in its iPad app. Citi and 
Merrill Lynch are also testing video chat features 
in their apps.13 Such services would be supported 
by an enterprise architecture that integrates 
various digital and personal touchpoints, such 
as smartphones and tablets, to enable seamless 
sharing of data and analytics. This will provide 
necessary insights into client needs and desires 
to the advisor on a real-time basis. 
Cloud computing and big data will be at the heart 
of this enterprise architecture. Tracking customer

interactions across touchpoints will enable banks 
to create a unique profile for each client, based on 
the client's Code Halo, which will enable further 
personalization. 
Key benefits that private banks can target through 
digitization are manifold. 
Improved Operational Efficiencies and 
Productivity 
Advisor productivity and revenue generation 
can be vastly improved if advisors have access 
to a data management system that provides a 
consolidated view of client data across silos. In 
this scenario, the front office would have access 
to a visual depiction of the client’s relation-ship 
with the firm, allowing it to provide higher 
quality, more informed service. Big data 
analytics also help process analyst queries faster 
and allow advisors to deliver a high-quality client 
experience and high-value advice while minimiz-ing 
the loss of productive hours in data retrieval 
and presentation. Greater automation in the 
front- and back-offices can also reduce manual 
error, thus enabling a higher rate of straight-through 
processing (STP). 
Higher Quality Advice 
To provide anytime/anywhere advice that is also 
top-notch, banks need to be aware of client pref-erences 
and behavior patterns in order to predict 
their requirements and tailor advice accordingly. 
They need to be able to: 
» Gather and analyze more types of client 
information. 
» Enable easy access to front- and back-office 
data. 
» Share data with clients seamlessly across 
various channels. 
By analyzing large data sets about customer 
profiles and their investment choices, banks can 
create a pool for high-quality advice that can be 
made readily available to new clients with match-ing 
preferences. Morgan Stanley, for example, 
moved from traditional grid computing to big data 
analytics, which allows the company to match 
clients’ financial objectives with investment 
insights that can improve investment decisions.14 
Customer Experience and Loyalty 
Digital channels allow banks to provide self-service 
applications and planning tools that can 
empower clients and improve client satisfaction. 
The mobile channel can be used to provide timely 
portfolio performance alerts and introduce 
clients to new features and services through 
short online tours. Private banks can also use 
social networks to connect clients with advisors. 
Ameriprise Financial, for example, allows clients 
to choose an advisor they may know through 
their social network connections.15 
Reduced Risk 
Big data tools enable analysis of large data sets 
from information systems and processes, and 
monitoring of client activity. Such tools can iden-tify 
suspicious patterns and proactively reduce 
operational risk. Similarly, getting to know custom-ers 
and counterparties better through analysis of 
data sets relating to their activities will improve 
management of reputational risk. A real-time view 
of risk management metrics allows banks to moni-tor 
and remain compliant with regulatory require-ments. 
Improved Compliance and Monitoring 
The sheer magnitude of global regulatory require-ments 
is forcing banks to improve their understand-ing 
of cross-border transactions, tax transparency 
and sales practices. The right digital systems can 
provide a real-time view of risk exposure, which 
will ensure compliance and enable banks to use 
the data for business purposes. Banks can provide 
advisors and clients with access to this information 
based on their desired transaction. This also allows 
firms to actively monitor and prevent regulatory 
violations that may occur during daily trading, 
portfolio construction and monitoring. 
Winning in the Digital Era 
Business Models and Strategic Considerations 
The journey to end-to-end digitization will be 
long, both in time and scope. Digitization is 
all about creating more integrated business 
processes that enable collaboration between 
employees and allow faster and more efficient 
servicing of client requirements. Private banks 
will need to refine their operating infrastructure 
to become scalable and responsive to changing 
profit margins over time.
cognizant reports 7 
Creating a holistic digital transformation roadmap 
that can adapt to changing customer demands is 
the first step in this direction. Key considerations 
include: 
• Digital banking requires a new business and 
service model, not just a combination of fea-tures 
or applications. This mindset is critical 
to adopting the right strategy and roadmap. 
• Private banks can embark on the digital 
journey along two paths, both with well-defined 
objectives: 
» A long-term strategy that aims to define 
the digital blueprint. 
» Tactical plans that deliver short-term wins, 
address client and internal demands, and 
help the firm establish its digital presence. 
• Clearly define the digital blueprint that will 
enable future business models, client inter-actions 
and engagement, product strategy 
and operating model. 
• Take a client-centric view and link the 
digital blueprint to specific measurable 
goals. Given the rapid change in business, the 
blueprint needs to be flexible and adaptable. 
• Develop a product strategy and pricing that 
best meets the needs of each client segment. 
• Understand the current maturity of the 
organization and evaluate its readiness 
prior to embarking on a digital transformation. 
Create a Distinctive Advisory Service 
To create a differentiated advisory service in 
the emerging digital age, private banks will have 
to revamp their existing operating models to 
incorporate relevant self-service tools that also 
provide the bank’s view of a particular asset. 
These digital interactions with clients can supple-ment 
face-to-face interactions between advisors 
and clients. 
Private banks have access to a treasure trove of 
personal information about their clients that is 
unique to the firm. By deploying advanced analyt-ics, 
banks can leverage this information to create 
tailored solutions and derive client insights that 
enable a truly differentiated experience. 
Moreover, the data related to a client’s digital 
interactions can help the bank create a unique 
profile for each client, based on their Code Halos, 
and differentiate its service to compete on code. 
Banking and financial services firms are uniquely 
positioned to profit from such information and 
deepen customer relationships.16 
Key focus areas in this regard include: 
• Understanding client digital touchpoints to 
increase their usage and enhance offerings. 
• Creating a consistent user experience across 
digital touchpoints. 
• Creating rich and intuitive interfaces to 
empower self-directed customers. 
• Centering the client experience on targeted 
client preferences. 
Manage Organizational Change to Embrace 
Digitization 
As banks transition to a digital future, they must 
reassess key roles and responsibilities across 
departments and employees. It is critical that 
leaders share their vision with functional heads 
and their team from the outset and offer a vision 
on how various roles will play out over time. 
As such, they need to open channels of commu-nication 
to address the concerns of the various 
departments and teams. 
This step needs to be followed up with initiatives 
to train users on the technology they will be using. 
Advisors, for example, will need to learn not only 
about how digital technologies work on the back-end 
but also how they can use the additional time 
they will get as a result of automation. 
Integrated Infrastructure 
Private banks will need an integrated IT 
infrastructure supported by cloud technolo-gies 
to enable seamless retrieval, storage and 
distribution of data. The cloud can also serve 
as a flexible integration layer, accommodating 
off- and on-premises applications that need to be 
integrated into the digital architecture, as well as 
digital app delivery. Precise information is crucial 
for creating tailored interactions. Analytics can 
be deployed to enable multi-dimensional analy-sis 
by geography, customer type, product, traffic 
source, channel and campaign.

Learn from Digital Leaders in Other Industries 
Private banks can learn a lot about personalization 
from industry leaders in the retail e-commerce 
segment. Amazon, for example, introduced the 
“One Click Buy” feature that allows it to provide 
anticipatory shipping of a product that it pre-dicts 
a customer might buy in the future.17 Private 
banks can benefit from this level of understand-ing, 
which can only be achieved by deploying 
big data analytics that enable “markets of one” 
that meet and anticipate individual HNW clients’ 
needs, wants and desires.

Digital Transformation of U.S. Private Banking

  • 1. • Cognizant Reports cognizant reports | november 2014 Digital Transformation of U.S. Private Banking The unrelenting digitization of business, amid continuous regulatory change and soaring operational costs, is materially impacting U.S. private banks, requiring them to rethink their business models and accelerate their push to meet the ever-rising expectations of digitally savvy high-net-worth clients.
  • 2. cognizant reports 2 Executive Summary Even as they struggle to generate new wealth in a mature market amid ever-growing regulations, U.S. wealth managers face a wave of digitiza-tion that will completely transform the way they interact with the wealthy, and especially the young wealthy. Across age groups, wealthy Americans are tech-savvy, digitally connected and accustomed to unprecedented levels of personalized engagement with Web commerce leaders. Digital technologies have enabled consumers to access information, interact and collaborate with peers and conduct transactions on an anytime/anywhere basis through mobile smart devices. As these experiences become embedded in their daily lives, wealthy inves-tors expect a similar experience in the wealth management area. Specifically, they want more tools that help them make investment decisions and provide flexible ways to interact with their financial services advisors. For private banks, however, the implications of digitization go beyond meeting customer demands. The SMAC StackTM (social, mobile, ana-lytics and cloud) can transform private banking business models by enabling an integrated and cohesive enterprise architecture that powers new business capabilities beyond what is delivered by the existing assortment of disconnected digital technologies. A successful transition to process digitization will create efficiencies by automat-ing back- and middle-office tasks. It will also pro-vide an analytical boost that helps banks better understand their customers’ changing needs and proactively create offerings and services. For advisors, a robust enterprise architecture will provide them with easier access to client data, allowing them to deliver high-value advice. Customer centricity has always been the essence of private banking. Now, banks need to extend customer centricity with the power of digital technologies. Banks can better understand their clients’ digital journeys by collecting and analyz-ing the data generated by their digital behav-iors and online activities, which we call a Code Halo™ 1 (the digital information that accumulates around people, organizations and devices). By getting to know customers by analyzing their Code Halos, banks can begin offering more personalized products and services that meet and anticipate customer needs. Doing so will mitigate the risk of losing mindshare and market share, create operational efficiencies, drive product innovation, improve customer acquisition and retention, and enhance regulatory compliance. We believe the key imperatives for private banks to succeed in the digital age are: • Create a holistic “digital-first” banking strategy. • In addition to a long-term strategy that defines the digital blueprint, develop tactical plans that deliver quick wins. • Understand their digital maturity and readi-ness before embarking on transformational change. • Create tools to empower both clients and advisors. • Build a business model that enables flexible and adaptable pricing and product strategies. • Drive change in a way that addresses the concerns of everyone impacted by digitization. Forces Driving the Need for Digitization in Private Banking Customer Adoption of Digital Wealthy U.S. investors have always been ahead of private banks on the technology adoption curve. With digital technologies, however, the gap is huge – and growing. The reason: Consumer-facing technologies – mobiles, tablets and related services – have evolved so rapidly and gone main-stream so quickly that private banks have had to scurry to catch up. The importance of digital technologies to wealthy U.S. investors is set to accelerate (see Figure 1, next page). In a recent study, over 80% of Gen X and Y millionaires and 25% of baby boomers said they like trying new technologies.2 The former want apps that reduce reliance on face-to-face meetings with advisors. They are self-driven and feel knowledgeable about investing; unlike boom-ers, they look for validation, not delegation, of their investment decisions to advisors.3 For the mass affluent in the U.S., social media is a driver of action (see Figure 2, next page). For wealth managers, the larger trend is clear: Investors want private banks to use technology that empowers them with wealth management tools and provides advice anytime, anywhere.
  • 3. cognizant reports 3 confidence. They want to see their advisors focus on generating wealth, accompanied by strong risk management and wealth protection frameworks. Pressure to Boost Revenue and Contain Costs U.S. private banks are increasingly under ressure to generate higher returns, even as costs con-tinue to increase (see Figure 3, next page). Over the past few years, rising costs have only been marginally lower than revenue growth.4 High advisor compensation and growing compliance and risk management costs are major factors that are likely to increase unless they are proac-tively addressed. Private banks, therefore, must build capabilities that will allow them to do more with less. The steps to get there include greater process automation, cost-cutting, better use of enterprise data to improve advisor productivity, and the ability to provide differentiated advice that boosts client retention (see Figure 4, next page). Many private banks had added some level of automation to customer-facing processes, but systems are still vulnerable to errors caused by manual intervention. Along with ever-present demand for transparency, client data security and compliance reporting requires banks to access data on both a regular and ad hoc basis, private banks also need real-time access to data and the ability to capture, analyze and visualize this data for business purposes, such as CRM, trading and portfolio management. Real-time access to data is also necessary for monitoring various metrics related to internal processes. This data needs to be high-quality and highly relevant. Banks, therefore, must create advanced analytical capabilities that can help them glean insights from continuously growing data.

When advisors are equipped with smart devices loaded with useful apps that provide real-time access to client informa-tion, they can be more productive and provide the most relevant offers and advice based on the client’s risk profile. Social media is an effec-tive tool for improving client communications and understanding their sentiment and behavior patterns. The need to go digital is accentuated by client demand for transparency on pricing and product bundling/unbundling. For investors, past perfor-mance is just one factor used to assess advisor
  • 4. cognizant reports 4 in multiple geographies will need systems that can manage cross-border data related to clients and regulations. Banks need to aim for seamless digital processes with minimal manual intervention in their back offices. In the front office, where human inter-action matters more, “high touch” should be augmented with digital offerings that can enhance advice quality and advisor productivity, lead-ing to reduced costs and an improved customer experience. Regulations Private banks are besieged by regulations all over the globe, and the resulting data requirements are overwhelming their existing systems. Banks also need to create a holistic and real-time view of their risk management efforts. In such a sce-nario, automated regulatory reporting processes can ease the pressure on bank resources. Private Banks’ Technology Gap For most private banks, the job of catching up with digital technology advancements seems to have just begun. Figure 5 (next page) offers a perspective of where private banks stand relative to digital technology adoption to improve the customer experience. Recent surveys add additional insights into the current state of affairs: • MyPrivateBanking analyzed 30 global wealth managers and found that only seven manage a Facebook page, while 14 provide wealth man-agement Twitter streams.5 • MyPrivateBanking also found that wealth man-agement Web sites fall short on social media Wealth Managers’ Costs Continue to Increase Figure 3 “Global Wealth 2014,” Boston Consulting Group Sources: BCG Wealth-Manager Performance Databases, 2011-2014; Since 2010, wealth managers’ costs have increased in nearly every function.

Wealth management firms have taken a stop-gap approach, adopting new technologies rather than undertaking a complete replacement. This has led to the creation of com-plex, fragmented and hard-to-manage systems that come with long-term implications in the form of high operational costs and inefficiency. Only 9% of wealth managers even consider digi-tal channels as a top corporate priority, a clear indication of how much digital technology is underestimated.9 Such low interest has a direct impact on advisor productivity. At a time when organizations across industries are looking for ways to use big data and analytics to glean insights about customers, prod-ucts and processes, private banks lag behind when it comes to harnessing data for actionable business analytics and decision-making. According to the CEB,10 only 36% of advisors trust their firm’s ability to do this. In direct contrast, digital natives (technology-driven, non-bank wealth management firms) are striking the right chords with their tech-savvy customers by interacting through digital chan-nels. In doing so, they are able to operate at lower costs and pass on the benefits to their cli-ents. At one such startup, the New York-based financial advisory firm Betterment, almost 60% of the 40,000 customers reportedly use its app while accessing the Web site almost exclusively on their mobile phones.11 It is not surprising, then, that wealth management firms are scrambling to meet the digital needs of their tech-savvy clients.12 The Promise of Digital What Private Banks Can Expect from Digital Transformation It may have been inconceivable just a few years ago, but the SMAC Stack is making it possible to perform investment transactions entirely through digital channels. For example, clients at more progressive firms will soon receive daily updates on portfolio performance through a mobile app. They will be able to track the bank’s social media posts for further updates and ultimately video-conference with their advisors for making a buy-sell decision. Citi Private Bank, for example, recently began providing data-driven research features, such as what-if scenarios, portfolio views and per-formance analysis tools in its iPad app. Citi and Merrill Lynch are also testing video chat features in their apps.13 Such services would be supported by an enterprise architecture that integrates various digital and personal touchpoints, such as smartphones and tablets, to enable seamless sharing of data and analytics. This will provide necessary insights into client needs and desires to the advisor on a real-time basis. Cloud computing and big data will be at the heart of this enterprise architecture.

Key benefits that private banks can target through digitization are manifold. Improved Operational Efficiencies and Productivity Advisor productivity and revenue generation can be vastly improved if advisors have access to a data management system that provides a consolidated view of client data across silos. In this scenario, the front office would have access to a visual depiction of the client’s relation-ship with the firm, allowing it to provide higher quality, more informed service. Big data analytics also help process analyst queries faster and allow advisors to deliver a high-quality client experience and high-value advice while minimiz-ing the loss of productive hours in data retrieval and presentation. Greater automation in the front- and back-offices can also reduce manual error, thus enabling a higher rate of straight-through processing (STP). Higher Quality Advice To provide anytime/anywhere advice that is also top-notch, banks need to be aware of client pref-erences and behavior patterns in order to predict their requirements and tailor advice accordingly. They need to be able to: » Gather and analyze more types of client information. » Enable easy access to front- and back-office data. » Share data with clients seamlessly across various channels. By analyzing large data sets about customer profiles and their investment choices, banks can create a pool for high-quality advice that can be made readily available to new clients with match-ing preferences. Morgan Stanley, for example, moved from traditional grid computing to big data analytics, which allows the company to match clients’ financial objectives with investment insights that can improve investment decisions.14 Customer Experience and Loyalty Digital channels allow banks to provide self-service applications and planning tools that can empower clients and improve client satisfaction. The mobile channel can be used to provide timely portfolio performance alerts and introduce clients to new features and services through short online tours. Private banks can also use social networks to connect clients with advisors. Ameriprise Financial, for example, allows clients to choose an advisor they may know through their social network connections.15 Reduced Risk Big data tools enable analysis of large data sets from information systems and processes, and monitoring of client activity. Such tools can iden-tify suspicious patterns and proactively reduce operational risk. Similarly, getting to know custom-ers and counterparties better through analysis of data sets relating to their activities will improve management of reputational risk. A real-time view of risk management metrics allows banks to moni-tor and remain compliant with regulatory require-ments. Improved Compliance and Monitoring The sheer magnitude of global regulatory require-ments is forcing banks to improve their understand-ing of cross-border transactions, tax transparency and sales practices. The right digital systems can provide a real-time view of risk exposure, which will ensure compliance and enable banks to use the data for business purposes. Banks can provide advisors and clients with access to this information based on their desired transaction. This also allows firms to actively monitor and prevent regulatory violations that may occur during daily trading, portfolio construction and monitoring. Winning in the Digital Era Business Models and Strategic Considerations The journey to end-to-end digitization will be long, both in time and scope. Digitization is all about creating more integrated business processes that enable collaboration between employees and allow faster and more efficient servicing of client requirements. Private banks will need to refine their operating infrastructure to become scalable and responsive to changing profit margins over time.
  • 7. cognizant reports 7 Creating a holistic digital transformation roadmap that can adapt to changing customer demands is the first step in this direction. Key considerations include: • Digital banking requires a new business and service model, not just a combination of fea-tures or applications. This mindset is critical to adopting the right strategy and roadmap. • Private banks can embark on the digital journey along two paths, both with well-defined objectives: » A long-term strategy that aims to define the digital blueprint. » Tactical plans that deliver short-term wins, address client and internal demands, and help the firm establish its digital presence. • Clearly define the digital blueprint that will enable future business models, client inter-actions and engagement, product strategy and operating model. • Take a client-centric view and link the digital blueprint to specific measurable goals. Given the rapid change in business, the blueprint needs to be flexible and adaptable. • Develop a product strategy and pricing that best meets the needs of each client segment. • Understand the current maturity of the organization and evaluate its readiness prior to embarking on a digital transformation. Create a Distinctive Advisory Service To create a differentiated advisory service in the emerging digital age, private banks will have to revamp their existing operating models to incorporate relevant self-service tools that also provide the bank’s view of a particular asset. These digital interactions with clients can supple-ment face-to-face interactions between advisors and clients. Private banks have access to a treasure trove of personal information about their clients that is unique to the firm. By deploying advanced analyt-ics, banks can leverage this information to create tailored solutions and derive client insights that enable a truly differentiated experience. Moreover, the data related to a client’s digital interactions can help the bank create a unique profile for each client, based on their Code Halos, and differentiate its service to compete on code. Banking and financial services firms are uniquely positioned to profit from such information and deepen customer relationships.16 Key focus areas in this regard include: • Understanding client digital touchpoints to increase their usage and enhance offerings. • Creating a consistent user experience across digital touchpoints. • Creating rich and intuitive interfaces to empower self-directed customers. • Centering the client experience on targeted client preferences. Manage Organizational Change to Embrace Digitization As banks transition to a digital future, they must reassess key roles and responsibilities across departments and employees. It is critical that leaders share their vision with functional heads and their team from the outset and offer a vision on how various roles will play out over time. As such, they need to open channels of commu-nication to address the concerns of the various departments and teams. This step needs to be followed up with initiatives to train users on the technology they will be using. Advisors, for example, will need to learn not only about how digital technologies work on the back-end but also how they can use the additional time they will get as a result of automation. Integrated Infrastructure Private banks will need an integrated IT infrastructure supported by cloud technolo-gies to enable seamless retrieval, storage and distribution of data. The cloud can also serve as a flexible integration layer, accommodating off- and on-premises applications that need to be integrated into the digital architecture, as well as digital app delivery. Precise information is crucial for creating tailored interactions. Analytics can be deployed to enable multi-dimensional analy-sis by geography, customer type, product, traffic source, channel and campaign.

Learn from Digital Leaders in Other Industries Private banks can learn a lot about personalization from industry leaders in the retail e-commerce segment. Amazon, for example, introduced the “One Click Buy” feature that allows it to provide anticipatory shipping of a product that it pre-dicts a customer might buy in the future.17 Private banks can benefit from this level of understand-ing, which can only be achieved by deploying big data analytics that enable “markets of one” that meet and anticipate individual HNW clients’ needs, wants and desires.
