What?
Where?
Who?
With
the
advent
of
technology
and
social
media,
a

start-ups

With

banking
now
becoming
a
thing
of
the
past,
mobile
payments
and
cash-free
transactions
are
the
future
of
banking.
With
Apple
Pay
set
to
hit
the
UK
soon,
mobile
payment
apps
from
start-ups
are
heating
the
scene.
Take
for
instance,
Yoyo,
a
app-based
start-up
offering
hassle
free
mobile
payments
and
loyalty
rewards,
has
gained
significant
traction
amongst
the
students
at

to
fund

to
US

Other
emerging
fintech
start-up
is
the
London
based,
GoCardless
operating
in
the
cash-free
transactions
domain.
Mobile
based
loyalty
schemes
and
rewards
are
becoming
exceedingly
popular
in
customer
retail
segments
with
large
retailers
like
KFC
also
building
their
in-house
app
(the
Colonels
Club
App)
to
target
students.
Products
&
Services
in
this
category
are
the
next

Internet-of-Things
With
IoT
gaining
popularity,
financial
services
are
hoping
to
leverage
this
technology
to
get
connected
devices
make
banking
easier.
With
innovators
working
to
iron
out
security
and
privacy
concerns,
the
potential
of
this
technology
is
huge.
Applications
may
include
ATMs,
Kiosks
and
credit
cards
using
sensing
technology
to
take
decisions
on
a
customers
behalf3.
A
more
innovative
application
can
be
using
health
information
to
influence
banking
any
sign
of
a
deterioration
of
health
or
accident
could
trigger
automatic
liquidation
of
funds,
to
anticipate
for
future
cash
flows.
Studies
from
Accenture
have
created
an
entire
ecosystem
for
the
use
of
IoT
in
Banking
and
Finance
Sectors
(Figure
2).
Given
the
potential
applications
and
the
high
adoption
rate
of
this
technology
amongst
students,
this
could
very
well
be
a
potential
cash
cow
for
the
future.
More
importantly
however,
big
data
analytics
from
IoT
can
help
banks
in
building
up
better
profiles
and
buying
preferences
of
high-value
segments.

Crowd-funding,

Peer-to-Peer
funding
Crowd-funding
platforms
are
increasingly
used
by
Gen
Y
to
fund
everything
from
holiday
travels
to
education
fee.
With
success
stories
of
students
raising
money
for
tuition
fee
through
online
crowd-funding
platforms
like
GoFundMe,
Upstart
and
CrowdTilt,
new
players
specializing
in
peer-to-peer
funding
have
emerged.
This
is
predominant
in
developing
countries
and
most
efforts
are
targeted
towards
international
students.
Some
big
names
include,
Qifang,
which
has
lent
over
$1.3
million
in
higher
education
loans
to
Chinese
students,
and
Kiva,
which
has
raised
$160
million
in
microfinance
for
entrepreneurs
in
developing
countries5.
Social
Media
and
Student
Specific
Sites
&
Forums
One
of
the
major
drivers
influencing
students
buying
preferences
are
word-of-mouth
recommendations
and
referrals
(Refer

a

way
in
making
an
impact.
Web
apps
and
services
like
Simple.com,
CreditKarma.com
and
Manilla.com
have
done
just
that.

the
success
enjoyed
by
the
Overseas
Chinese
Bank
Corporation
(OCBC)
after
tailoring
their
marketing
strategy
for
the
student
segments.
Engaging
in
extensive
research,
OCBC
targeted
students,
hung
out
with
them
at
malls,
ate
dinner
with
them,
went
shopping
and
clubbing
with
them
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
looking
in
their
wallets
and
talking
about
money.
Consequently,
after
engaging
phychographic
and
behavioural
segmenting,
OCBC
modified
their
retail
banking
experience
for
students.
By
offering
simple
personalizations
in
credit
and
debit
cards,
they
increased
their
customer
base.
The
Barclays
Customer
Needs
Case
Study8,
is
another
example
of
how
the
bank
modified
its
offering
by
learning
more
about
student
customer
behaviour.
Key
insights
led
to
Barclays
offering
students
an
interest
free
overdraft
facility,
technology
based
incentives
and
a
better
mobile
banking
facilities;
resulting
in
increasing
student
accounts
by
25%
in
2010.
