DashMinds Research helps BFSI institutions keep pace with a competitive set that no longer looks like their traditional peer group.

Key Challenges

What BFSI strategy teams are up against

  • 01
    Regulatory change across geographies Product and pricing decisions must account for a regulatory landscape that shifts market by market, often faster than internal compliance review cycles.
  • 02
    Fintech and neobank disruption Digital-native entrants are fragmenting market share in specific segments (payments, lending, wealth) faster than traditional competitive tracking can keep up.
  • 03
    Shifting customer expectations Digital-first experience expectations, set by tech and retail brands, now apply to financial services as well.
  • 04
    Non-traditional competitors entering the category Retailers, telecom providers, and technology platforms are increasingly offering embedded financial products, widening the competitive set.

FAQs

Common questions

Do you track fintech and neobank competitors the same way as traditional banks?+
We adjust the approach, fintech competitors often disclose less through traditional channels, so tracking relies more on funding activity, hiring signals, product releases, and customer sentiment data.
Can this work support entry into a new product category, like embedded finance?+
Yes, market sizing and competitive mapping for an adjacent or emerging product category is one of the most common BFSI engagements we run.
