INDUSTRY

According to the survey, more than half (53%) indicated big data analytics and alternative forms of payments (P2P platforms, social media, etc.) as the innovations having the greatest impact on the financial services space in the next 3-5 years. Nineteen percent of respondents believe blockchain will have the greatest impact on the financial services space in the next 3-5 years.

This was followed by Internet of Things at 17%, and artificial intelligence at 9%. Respondents within the investment, media, government and consultant business were more likely to rank blockchain higher than those in payments/financial services or mobile/retail businesses. This is interesting as blockchain, first developed for cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is gaining attention as firms look to develop viable applications for the technology in the financial services sector.

FRAUD PREVENTION

Figures for biometrics (e.g. fingerprinting, iris scans, etc.) (28%) and tokenization (27%) suggest that over half the respondents believe those innovations will have the largest impact on payments fraud prevention over the next 3-5 years. What's interesting is that this was followed by blockchain at 17%, while only 14% cited EMV/chip and pin -the technology which has gained the most airtime recently given the United States' recent transition to the standard in an effort to thwart card present fraud. Nearly 12% of respondents also indicated facial recognition (e.g. Smile to Pay, Selfies) will have the biggest impact in the next 3-5 years.
