Despite offering somewhat better services, it hasn&#8217;t been enough to regain customer trust, and the growth gap between fintechs and traditional banks continues to widen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With a better understanding of customer needs and evolving business models, two new trends are emerging: Banking as a Service (BaaS) and Banking as a Platform (BaaP).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>BaaS: Banking as a Service<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Banking as a Service (or contextual banking) provides bank customers with services and products tailored to their profiles, delivering proposals based on their expectations. Through data analysis and behavioral profiling, offers become unique and personalized, available when needed. For example, if a customer needs a loan at the time of a purchase, this service can be offered immediately.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>BaaP: Banking as a Platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Banking as a Platform (or conscious banking) is a strategy to extend banking services and products in collaboration with other companies, fostering closer and more transparent relationships with customers. With an integrated platform, customers can access more services in a single environment, enhancing user experience and adding more value to the platform. For instance, customers can use other apps to manage their checking account funds with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>Are There Still Opportunities in This Market?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although the market seems saturated, there is still plenty of room for growth, especially in developing markets. Opportunities exist to cater to new niches that were previously considered too small or unprofitable, innovating and personalizing value delivery for these markets. Overall, there are still areas to be developed, integrating multiple services into digital platforms and creating a collaborative financial ecosystem. A business model that can combine these services and generate value still has the potential for rapid and exponential growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fintechs, startups that use innovative technology to offer traditional financial services, have seen significant growth in recent years, transforming a landscape previously dominated by traditional banks.
