COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Platform Market
Due to remote working and social isolation, which have helped digital banking amass a sizable customer base, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in increased usage of banking components. A turning point in digital transformation has been COVID-19 because financial institutions that made strategic and financial investments in the digitalization process over the past ten years were better equipped to deal with these changes and the crisis.
The market has previously experienced significant growth, but due to the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak and the rising demand for seamless banking transactions, the market will experience even more growth in 2020. This growth will be primarily fueled by shifting consumer behavior, as more people are turning to online banking instead of visiting bank branches.
Due to several factors, including the rising use of electronic transactions during pandemic crises, and to enable stress-free banking activities, the implementation of a banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform would be extremely valuable during the COVID-19 period.
A 2020 World Bank survey found that the fintech market, with strong growth in all categories of digital financial services except lending, has continued to support increasing access to financial services during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in emerging markets. In H1 2020 compared to H1 2019, Fintech companies reported an average increase of 11% in the volume of digital payment transactions. Fintech innovations are making it possible to reach more people, lower the cost of providing services, and lessen the need for face-to-face interactions, all of which are crucial for maintaining economic activity during the pandemic.
As a result, it is predicted that from 2019 to 2021, the demand for banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms will increase by 11.6% to 13.8% YoY.
