The AI Banking Revolution: How SAP, SAP Fioneer and Fixtra Empower Financial Institutions to Thrive by 2030
The Future of Banking is Now
Retail and commercial banks are undergoing a digital revolution. According to recent research, 30% to 50% of banks may disappear by 2030 if they fail to modernize. This shift is fueled by two unstoppable forces: AI in banking and SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform). These innovations are revolutionizing operational models, reducing cost-to-income ratios, and redefining the customer experience.
Banks that harness AI and BTP technologies effectively can dramatically improve agility, efficiency, and growth. At the center of this transformation is Fixtra, a trusted partner in executing these complex, high-impact strategies.
Why Banks Must Act Now
Recent data from BCG reveals a looming $1 trillion realignment in global banking P&Ls by 2030. The pressure to adapt comes from multiple directions:
-
Customer mobility is accelerating: Over 80% of digital banking users also use fintech platforms.
-
Margins are shrinking: Rising compliance costs and interest rate pressures demand leaner operations.
-
Legacy systems are dragging performance: Banks stuck with outdated infrastructure face CIRs as high as 74%.
To survive and thrive, banks must embrace digital transformation in banking, led by SAP BTP and advanced AI tools for financial services.
