La “Rivoluzione Digitale” ha modificato radicalmente il modo di vivere e di comunicare di tutti noi, con impatti significativi in moltissimi settori. Il mondo bancario non è esente da questa trasformazione: nuove compagnie, dette FinTech, mirano a sostituirsi alla banca nella fornitura di prodotti e servizi finanziari attraverso le più avanzate tecnologie. Questo studio mira a comprendere e descrivere come sta cambiando il settore bancario con l’ingresso di questi nuovi concorrenti nel mercato e indaga su quali possono essere le opportunità per migliorare il servizio di Wealth Management. Il nostro lavoro si propone di analizzare la proposta FinTech per individuare possibili elementi da integrare nell’offerta bancaria e, sfruttando il canale digitale, migliorare la consulenza finanziaria per il segmento di clientela Retail. Viene quindi proposto uno studio di fattibilità per un’App che aiuti il cliente a familiarizzare con il mondo finanziario e ad imparare a gestire i propri investimenti. Durante la fase di analisi sono state riscontrate due forti barriere all’ingresso che frenano la clientela a scegliere di sottoscrivere un investimento per difendere i propri risparmi: la bassa cultura finanziaria e il disorientamento nello scegliere un prodotto. Al fine di presentare un’idea innovativa è stato studiato come elementi educativi e di riprova sociale possano essere integrati nella nuova App proposta, per eliminare queste barriere all’ingresso e stimolare l’attività finanziaria della clientela Retail.

Abstract
The “Digital Revolution” radically changed our lifestyle, with a relevant impact in several industries. The banking world is included in this transformation: new companies, known as FinTech, aim at becoming an alternative to banks in the supply of financial products and services, using the most advanced technologies. This research study aims at understanding how the banking sector is evolving with the entrance of these new competitors in the market and it examine which are the opportunities to improve the Weath Management service. Our work intends to analyse FinTech solutions to identify possible elements to integrate in the banking offer and, exploiting the digital channel, enhancing financial advisory for the Retail segment. We propose a feasibility study for an App that will help the user to become familiar with financial world and learn how to manage investments. During the analysis phase we identified two strong entry barriers restraining customers to choose an investment to protect their savings: the low financial literacy and the disorientation in in the choice of a product. To propose an innovative solution, it has been studied how educational and social proof elements could be integrated in the new App, to delate these entry barriers and stimulate the financial activities of the Retail customers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
