Despite the lack of an equivalent regulation to PSD2, by 2021, 90 percent of non-European banks will have moved in a similar direction to European banks in terms of sharing data via APIs, but they will have done so for competitive reasons rather than regulatory ones.
Corporate banks will invest 15–20 percent more in big data/analytics in 2018 than in 2017 — $2.2 billion in total — in their efforts to move from a transactional to a data-as-a-service business model, offering real-time and predictive analytics on fraud, compliance, and scenario modeling.
