For several years, the BaaS industry in Asia-Pacific has outpaced global banking norms. However, as the region's rising economies mature, the banking industry's earnings, returns on equity, and price-to-book multiples are catching up to global standards. Furthermore, banks are suffering from narrowing profits, poor asset quality, and rising capital costs as economic development slowed across the region (particularly in emerging markets e.g. India) and cyber attackers challenge firms in client acquisition and share of wallets. The dynamics draining Asia-Pacific banks' strength lead to probable consolidation, as they put pressure on banks to attain scale benefits in monetary supply, production, and capacities.

 

In 2018, the Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market brought in US$1.6 trillion in revenue. In 2018, the region's earnings apart from taxes exceeded $700 billion, accounting for 37% of worldwide banking profit streams.

Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market Dynamics:

Banks from Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) market are expected to cut expenses and strive for market-leading efficiency ratios. Asset management, commercial lending, small & medium enterprise financing (SME), and transaction banking are four fast-growing areas where those with best-in-class digital and analytics skills are expected to capture considerable additional income. Banks like WeBank and PingAn are expected to adopt a methodical strategy for managing partnerships, strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions as they attempt to gain size. Banks are also attempting to reinvent themselves or risk vanishing if they are to survive a period of probable consolidation. The foundations for a data-driven, client-centric digital banking operation are already in place for many businesses.

 

 

Banks are trying to adapt to a more flexible technological architecture and operating model, to improve their data and analytics skills, and adopt a strategy for obtaining and training the new talent necessary for the future workforce to complete the change. To obtain size, market share, technology, and personnel synergies, high-performing banks would usually buy smaller businesses.

 

Asian banks have caught up and begun to overtake their Western counterparts in terms of scale, but consumers' technological sophistication has provided banks with an opportunity to produce new technologies and surge ahead. Asia's most well-known fintech entrepreneurs, e.g. Alipay and WeChat Pay, are leading the world in digital payment scalability. According to McKinsey's Global Payments Map, digital payments account for almost 99% of cashless transaction volume in China and 45% of digital payments globally.

 

Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market Segment Analysis:

By Enterprise, the large enterprise segment dominated the Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market in 2023. It is expected to grow at the CAGR of 9.8% in the forecast period (2024-30). This can be attributed to banks always favoring large enterprises and often sidelining SMEs. To fund working capital, the great majority of SMEs in Asia-Pacific turn to non-bank sources.

 

Another reason behind banks favoring large enterprises is that many banks have realized that by partnering with a large digital company e.g. an e-commerce giant, banks can gain new consumers as well as their data. For example, Kotak Bank has teamed with Bharti Airtel to reduce the expenses of new client acquisition and delivery of services while also receiving access to Airtel's 250,000 retail shops throughout India. With the purchase of BSS Microfinance, it expanded its reach into the mass market of lower-income clients (i.e. approximately 220,000 customers and 80 branches).

 

Most banks have a problem in that they lack the data necessary to effectively assess the creditworthiness of SMEs, and as a result, they frequently make poor lending decisions. As a result, risk costs for SMEs in Asia-Pacific are more than twice those for major corporations. For banks that can use online channels to reach the wider marketplace of SMEs and employ sophisticated analytics to find suitable clients for both secured and unsecured loans, lending to SMEs has the potential to be a very successful industry. CMB, for example, has developed a completely digital SME services platform that streamlines the loan application process. Customers may access funds immediately when the automatic evaluation is done, which takes only a few minutes. Third parties supply new services by connecting to the platform via APIs, which helps to improve platform activity.
