Banking ROE projected to fall below 7.2% by 2030

The global banking sector faces mounting pressure as Return on Equity (ROE) continues to decline. Incumbent banks and financial institutions (FIs) must act urgently to modernise and compete with agile digital challengers. This eBook provides actionable strategies for banks and FIs to address the ROE challenge by leveraging open finance solutions, including Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), digital banking, and the modernisation of incumbent infrastructure to unlock new revenue streams and drive innovation.

Key Highlights:

  • ROE Insights: Understand global and regional trends driving profitability challenges.

  • Modernisation Pathways: Explore incremental, low-risk approaches like dual-mode evolution to transform infrastructure without costly rip-and-replace models.

Designed for leaders in incumbent banks and FIs, this eBook, c0-authored by audax, Synpulse and AWS, offers a roadmap to thrive in a digital-first, customer-centric future.
