Methodology

This report examines seven major themes related to the ways that consumers typically interact with their financial services providers.

For each of these themes, we analyzed the current state of the financial services industry before reviewing a core set of innovators that have lessons to teach financial services firms. All but three of these exist outside the financial services industry. We then provide actionable insights into how the best practices employed by these innovators can be adapted to enhance the digital platforms of financial services firms.
