They highlight how new digital banks like Revolut and payment systems like Apple Pay have transformed the way we manage our finances. Also, the convenience of mobile banking, the elimination of currency costs and friction in international transactions, Japan's cash-based society, prepaid cards, the influence of Uber and Starbucks, open banking, unbundling and the unbanked.
