Digital disruption is the change that occurs when new digital technologies and business
models affect the value proposition of existing goods and services.
Financial services is the most digitised industry in the developed world.

Digitisation is more than automation
© Misys 18 April, 2016
Digitisation extends to new ways of acquiring vast amounts of ‘BIG’ data that is said to be
increasing in complexity at a rate of 1000% per decade.

Digitisation has the power to transform data flows

The electronic exchange of data and communications can reduce administrative overhead
and permit re-use of data leading to increased accuracy and speed of turnaround.

What happens if you don’t digitise in trade…?
© Misys 18 April, 2016
Lack of data insight
impacts cost and service
Inconsistent international
service delivery Slow time to market with
solutions that win business
Disjointed digital strategy
to battle disintermediation
Missed opportunity
Increased risk
Inconsistent channels and service
across products and regions
High cost and pain of onboarding Inability to follow clients
into new markets
Loss of competitiveness
Loss of market share
Poor user experience. Lack of data
visibility for bank or client
Slow adoption of e.g. MT798,
eBL, BPO etc…
Loss of visibility Loss of efficiency
Inability to adapt and compete

revenues at risk due to
the competition from
alternative financiers

Digitisation offers the means of achieving increased cost-effectiveness and operational
efficiency whilst reaping the benefits of stronger customer insights and the ability to leverage
new business models.
“Data is the new collateral”
What are the main barriers to the adoption of digital
technologies?
a) Incompatibility of legacy systems
b) Lack of trust in overall security
c) Lack of standardisation
d) Inconsistent use of data definitions and taxonomy
e) Finding the right partners
f) Other
Polling Question #1

• Demand for greater efficiency in the use of working capital
• Demand for development and delivery of innovative supply chain solutions
• Increasingly competitive environment; emergence of fintech/regtech
• Pro-cyclical effects of regulation governing capital adequacy
• Growth and influence of emerging economies re-shaping commercial landscape
• Commoditisation of data
Financial institutions require technology platforms that support cost-effective modes of
operation with appropriate levels of standardisation and consistency.
Driving forces, challenges and opportunities – beyond traditional trade

Global trade flows
© Misys 18 April, 2016
Cross-border movement of goods has reached unprecedented levels, approaching 40% of
global GDP. One-third of goods produced are traded cross-border. In the next decade global
flows are predicted to exceed $50 trillion. The volume of data continues to grow exponentially
as does the variety of data to be processed.
18
© Misys 18 April, 2016
As goods flows have increased, their
direction has also changed. Developed
economies used to dominate global
trade—54 % of all goods trade in 1990
was between developed economies—
but in 2012 these flows accounted for
only 28 %. This shift has been offset by
the increasing participation of emerging
economies in global goods trade, both
as exporters and as importers. Emerging
economies now account for 40 percent
of goods flows, and 60 percent of those
go to other emerging economies—so-
called South-South trade.
19
Globalisation of markets
Growth dominated by open account
© Misys 18 April, 2016
Conclusion: If industry forecasts for growth prove correct, by 2020 we could have an
additional USD 17 trillion worth of open account trade in respect of which banks will need
to find new ways to compete through innovative financial supply chain management solutions.

• A blockchain is a decentralised, publicly verifiable ledger which holds a record of all
messages exchanged between users. Each message contains two identifiers referring to the
sender and the receiver of the message.
• Smart contracts are computer protocols that facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or
performance of a contract, or that make a contractual clause unnecessary. Smart
contracts usually also have a user interface and often emulate the logic of contractual
clauses.
• Tokenisation is the process of substituting a sensitive data element with a non-sensitive
equivalent, referred to as a token, that has no extrinsic or exploitable meaning or value.

Blockchain in trade & supply chain finance?
© Misys 18 April, 2016
• The payment process:
– Direct exchange of payment between buyers and sellers?
Does this threaten to disintermediate the banks?
• Trust in the workflow / mitigating operational risk
– Has the exporter delivered the goods to the port? Can the
importer be sure that goods have been loaded on to the vessel
and are in transit?
What if there was an immutable, digital ledger where the port
authority could register, using an encrypted signature, that goods
have been delivered and loaded and the importer can see this in
real time?
Can blockchain be used to detect potential duplicates of documents,
without the overhead of manually keying in data. Documents would
then be commented against in a traceable and auditable way.
Blockchains are real and growing
Is blockchain a game changer?
a) Yes
b) Yes, but it will take at least 5-10 years
c) No
d) Don’t know
