Disruption is creating opportunities and challenges for banks. While the risk and regulatory protection agenda remains a major focus, banks must also address financial performance and heightened customer and investor expectations, as they reshape and optimise operational and business models to deliver sustainable returns. Innovation and business-led transformation will be critical for future growth. To remain competitive and relevant, every bank must embrace disruption and strategically build a better ecosystem - not a bigger bank. 

EY has a team of industry-focused assurance, tax, transaction, and consulting professionals that integrate sector knowledge and technical experience. EY works with clients to navigate digital innovation, new business models and ecosystem partnerships, helping banks become the nimble, responsive organisations that customers demand.
