What advantages can digital transformation bring?
The European banking landscape is undergoing unprecedented change, with regulatory pressure, digital disruption and evolving customer expectations creating both challenges and opportunities for traditional institutions and new entrants alike.
Recent industry analysis shows significant momentum in European digital banking transformation.
Europe's digital banking market is expanding rapidly, projected to grow from US$10.14bn in 2025 to US$35.36bn by 2033 at a CAGR of 16.9% according to Market Data Forecast.
The market share of digital banks increased from 3.1% of total assets in 2019 to 3.9% in 2024, thanks to the expansion of established players and the entry of new competitors, according to the European Central Bank's Financial Stability Review.
In open banking adoption, the proportion of digitally active banking customers using open banking has continued to rise, reaching 14% in January 2024.
This means that 1 in 7 digital customers now has an active open banking connection or has made a payment using open banking, according to the Open Banking Impact Report. Meanwhile, a study by McKinsey highlights that nearly 70% of European consumers now prefer digital channels for routine banking activities such as fund transfers and bill payments.
However, more than half of traditional banks cited legacy infrastructure and cultural resistance as the main obstacles to implementing comprehensive digital strategies.
Others pointed to regulatory complexity and talent acquisition challenges.
