Challenge 1: Transition in Mindset Industry Segment Customers have long su?ered due to the multiple pain-points of traditional banking. Open banking shifts the power from banks into the hands of the customer. Legacy banking is at a juncture to either adapt to changing customer preferences or let Strategic Services its relevance be obscured by aggressive competitors appearing at warp speed in the ?nancial ecosystem.
