Strategic Intelligence: Retail Banking Sector Scorecard 2025

Summary

This report assesses the 10 key themes that are transforming the retail banking industry right now and scores the world’s leading banking players against these themes. Our thematic scoring methodology allows us to identify which companies will do well in the market in the future, as well as the companies that will falter due to their lack of investment in these key themes.

In this report, we identify the 10 themes that matter most to the retail banking sector. While artificial intelligence (AI) is just one theme, many other themes are now being revisited and reimagined in light of the new capabilities AI can offer-especially generative AI and agentic AI. In particular, effectiveness around bank fraud and cybersecurity is increasingly dependent on being able to counter how malicious actors may use AI to mutate attack vectors, and using those same capabilities to help prevent, monitor, and manage attacks when they happen

Scope
  • Financial services providers worldwide have already spent billions on AI, with significant preparatory activity across a wide range of market indicators. However, with that preparation has come increased frustration at the long wait for return on investment from AI.
  • Banking-as-a-service propositions have encountered various regulatory headwinds in recent years. These include the Synapse collapse in the US, Railsr filing for bankruptcy in Europe, and growing concern around buy now pay later propositions saddling consumers with debt they do not fully understand and/or cannot pay back.
  • 28% of the global population have experienced fraud in the last 18 months as per GlobalData’s 2025 Financial Services Consumer Survey-up from 18% in 2024. To put a dollar value on that, Celent (part of GlobalData) estimates that global banking, payments, and card fraud reached $425 billion in 2024.
Reasons to Buy

  • Learn about how AI is affecting every major banking theme.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
