Description
BANK 2.0 predicts the end of banking as we know it.
Ten years ago, no one could have predicted that 90 per cent of daily transactions would be electronic, that Internet banking would provide more revenue than branched, that social network conversations would be the primary criteria for whether customers trust your brand, and that growth in mobile banking would be the final nail in the coffin of branch banking. Brett King explains:
-
why customer behaviour is so rapidly changing;
-
how branches will evolve;
-
why cheques are disappearing;
-
why your mobile phone will replace your wallet; and
-
how bank marketing departments must be deconstructed.
Bank 2.0 shows how banks can adapt and thrive in this new environment.

REVIEWS
"Bank 2.0 is exactly the kind of book finance and banking consultants need always sitting on their desks. There is a complete dearth of incisive research, factual data and engaging case studies that document the trends shaping the future of banking in
Asia today and Bank 2.0 does an excellent job of plugging that gap.
For people suffering a mental block about what the next steps in banking could be, this book offers fresh insights, for those wanting to know the pulse of the industry, this is it and for others like me who are deeply interested in the future of banking this serves as a bible.
Another interesting feature is its strong Asia-centric focus with interesting case studies about iconic names such as HSBC and major lenders from mature Asian markets such as Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
I really hope Brett updates this version soon enough to take this definitive guide on banks’ future to the next level. Very informative and reads like a breeze." - Arush Chopra, Research Analyst, The Asian Banker, Singapore
