Banks no longer meet the needs of their customers, we are told. They are too slow, unresponsive, and ripe for disruption. And yet, even with support from politicians and regulators in many markets, most would be disruptors have struggled to achieve profitability, despite having built large customer bases in short spans of time, and despite being often seen as more innovative, more relevant, and more customer-oriented than the incumbent banks. Banks that should be uncompetitive continue to dominate finance. Why then do societies not take stronger action? Why not tilt the playing field much further against incumbents? Why not break up, or even abolish, the banks? Because banking matters. Too few people understand the critical role that banks and banking play in our economies.
