Synopsis

The first edition of BANK 2.0—#1 on Amazon's bestseller list for banking and finance in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Japan for over 18 months—took the financial world by storm and became synonymous with disruptive customer behaviour, technology shift, and new banking models.

In BANK 3.0, Brett King brings the story up to date with the latest trends redefining financial services and payments—from the global scramble for dominance of the mobile wallet and the expectations created by tablet computing to the operationalising of the cloud, the explosion of social media, and the rise of the de-banked consumer, who doesn't need a bank at all.

BANK 3.0 shows that the gap between customers and financial services players is rapidly widening, leaving massive opportunities for new, non-bank competitors to totally disrupt the industry.

"On the Web and on Mobile, the customer isn't king—he's dictator. Highly impatient, skeptical, cynical. Brett King understands deeply what drives this new hard-nosed customer. Banking professionals would do well to heed his advice."
—Gerry McGovern, author of Killer Web Content

About this title

From the Author:

Late in 2011 WH Smith, my UK publisher, asked me to look at revising BANK 2.0 with a view to doing a paperback version for the UK markets. Thus, early in 2012 I sat down and started on the process, provisionally calling the new book "BANK 2.1". However, when I got into the rewrite there was the realization that so much had changed between December 2009 (when I finished writing BANK 2.0) and today that it was turning out to be a much bigger task than I expected. 
In the end the new title "BANK 3.0" allowed me to take the central theme of the book in a new direction. The realization that multi-channel had gone from being a hygiene factor, to an essential survival element for retail FIs formed the basis of the premise "banking no longer a place" (also the subtitle for the book). While around 20% of the original BANK 2.0 content remains in the new book BANK 3.0, the new research on social media, mobile, wallets and the cloud all produced a significantly different book. As always by the time you finish writing a book in a highly dynamic space like FinTech, there were already areas that might have warranted revisions. Well... those will have to be in an upcoming eBooks I guess! I hope you enjoy BANK 3.0 - BK
