Summary

This report provides a roundup of innovations within multiple retail banking and wealth management markets, with particular focus on savings accounts and cash management. The report explores the shifts in customer behavior regarding bank branches, spending drivers, financial education, savings, investment platforms, and robo-advisors.

Despite a challenging year, there was growth in assets among the emerging and mass affluent, fueling interest in the segments. Specifically, markets in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are experiencing strong growth, meaning banks can access a much larger customer base that is willing to spend disposable income.
