Nature to Evolve a Bank
Banks today appear to be under siege from new technology, nonbanks offering lending products and the unbundling of banking services. Ultimately these nonbank singular service line businesses get hit with losses, lack liquidity to continue to grow, get acquired by big banks or begin to diversify into other banking products (i.e. deposits). The related phenomenon of unbundling and re-bundling services is driven by regulation changes as the nonbank businesses are not subjected to the same regulations as the banks. History tells us that this cycle will continue to repeat.
