“In Cornerstone’s What’s Going On in Banking 2021 study, the top five technologies for 2021 are: 1) Digital account opening; 2) Application programming interfaces (APIs); 3) Video collaboration; 4) P2P payments; and 5) Cloud computing.
Nearly half—44%—of banks and a quarter of credit unions expect to add a new or replacement consumer digital account opening system in 2021.
One in four financial institutions are planning to invest for the first time in this technology in 2021. Going into 2020, only 20% of banks and credit unions had already deployed these tools—heading into 2021, that percentage is roughly 30%.”
