The commercial banking industry is rapidly evolving through digitisation, increased competition and tighter regulation. Commercial banks serving small and medium-sized businesses are transforming to compete. So, what will the future commercial banking landscape look like, and what should commercial banks do to stay competitive?
In our latest report, KPMG surveyed over 400 commercial banking leaders from around the world, who are involved with customer-centric strategy and enablement decisions. We identified key signals of change taking place across the industry, alongside what we believe will be the three dominant future business models in the new reality. To survive and grow in this new reality, commercial bankers should consider how a connected approach, underpinned by technology to support the front, middle and back office, will enable true value from digital transformation.
Signals of change
Commercial banking faces a more complex environment than perhaps ever before. Changes across the industry are forcing banks to review their growth strategy and innovate to remain relevant against client demands, rapid enhancement in digital capabilities, digitisation and new sources of competition.
Customer:
Commercial banks are building adaptable platforms and ecosystems to provide seamless customer experiences and innovative new products. Successful commercial banks should provide a complete end-to-end experience, across multiple integrated channels (including the convergence between pure retail and corporate portals).
Data, digital and technology:
Both financial and non-financial players can thrive in new ecosystems open to integration, greater connectivity, and data sharing. Technologies such as distributed ledgers and quantum computing will increase transaction efficiency, and enhance information sharing, security, and transparency.
Trust:
Stakeholders (including public communities) are constantly scrutinising the impact of banks’ products, services, culture, operations and relationships upon people and the environment. Commercial banks consider regulation and governance as the most important factor to earning trust, and 40 percent believe that by building trust with consumers, they can enhance the brand reputation, achieve higher efficiency and more sustainable growth.

01
Re-imagined digital commercial bank
These banks will transform into fully connected digital banks, leveraging capital and data, while commercialising traditional cost centres through the re-bundling of services to offer a full range of hybrid value propositions and banking services to generate new income streams.
02
Banking-as-a-Service
Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) providers will develop and license services and products and manage user interfaces to provide commercial banking services to end users, through intermediary partners. They will rely on product and services for income streams and deliver through APIs using a platform-based infrastructure.
03
Platform provider
The platform provider develops infrastructure to enable the commercial banking ecosystem, by providing, maintaining, or policing a banking platform or ecosystem with either open or closed access, for its own and others’ purposes. The platform is a gateway to any number of services and clients, and the technological infrastructure is the main source of income.

Our approach
Our approach is centred on enhancing all eight connected capabilities across the enterprise to the level that can provide the greatest value. These connected capabilities map to the operating model of a bank and can allow you to prioritise, shape and execute your digital transformation.
KPMG professionals help commercial banks evaluate their maturity across these connected capabilities, shape their transformation agenda and plans, and deploy improvements in the capabilities across the enterprise with the aim of providing the greatest value.
