Bankinter focused during its first 2 decades on gaining market share among affluent clients. From 1987 Bankinter starts taking key decisions that will enable it to become the leading digital bank in Spain<sup>12<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 1987 Bankinter develops a software that permits remote communications between companies and the bank. This software was installed individually in every business and was a proven success<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 1992 Bankinter launches phone banking. Phone banking may not seem a leapfrogging digital endeavor but it enabled all clients to conveniently perform almost all operations (from ordering transactions to buying funds and shares) through their personal advisors without leaving the comfort of their homes<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 1996 Bankinter launches the first banking website to enable all clients (both companies and retail) to access their data online and perform basic operations. This innovative solution was best-in-class worldwide, what attracted various international banks and non-financial companies to visit Bankinter and learn from their success<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15544\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica.png\" alt=\"primera-banca-electronica\" width=\"1007\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica.png 1638w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica-768x327.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica-1024x436.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/primera-banca-electr\u00f3nica-600x255.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 1999 Bankinter upgrades its website capabilities, enabling customers to contract mortgages, funds and deposits online. It also enabled non-clients to complete the onboarding process without having to visit any branch<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 1999 Bankinter launches a 100% online broker. This platform was the only one to offer this service in Spain, what helped Bankinter to obtain 25% market share in the Spanish retail banking environment<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2003 Bankinter is the first bank to offer financial services in mobile phones through SMS communication<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2004 Bankinter creates the \u2018Innovation Foundation\u2019, one of the biggest technology-related think tanks in the world<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2009 Bankinter launches Coinc, a platform that fosters a saving attitude among clients by leveraging behavioral economic theories<sup>5<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2014 Bankinter becomes the first Spanish bank to offer contactless mobile payment in a software based app without any physical device (e.g. chip, plastic card)<sup>67<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2016 Bankinter launches the first banking service through Twitter. It enables fast and efficient communication between clients and the bank, offering the possibility to check positions, receive alerts on chosen topics, give real time feedback etc<sup>8<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2016 Bankinter also launches Bizum, an application similar to Venmo that enables real time payments between private individuals, bank accounts and businesses using the mobile phone number as identifier<sup>9<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Impact of \u00a0the digital\u00a0<\/strong><b>initiatives<\/b><\/p>\n<p>All these efforts to enhance Bankinter\u2019s digital operations have had a real impact in its business model. Bankinter differenciates with other banks because it offers the lowest fraud level in the Spanish banking landscape (it was the first one to obtain the ISO 27001 certification on IT security). Bankinter also claims to offer a highly functional website with low response times. Bankinter also tailors products to match the needs of outstanding clients (e.g. businesses, private banking). Last but not least, Bankinter offers its clients the possibility to complete almost their operations remotely (either through the internet or phone banking) so that they do not feel obliged to physically attend a branch if they do not want to<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 25 years, a consistently good implementation of this value proposition has enabled Bankinter to capture and retain a high percentage of affluent clients who value convenience, time and service quality above other features such as price or mean distance to the closest branch. Indeed, Bankinter has obtained the highest ROE in the Spanish banking industry. Its ROE of 10,7% is considerably higher than the average (5,95%) of is peer listed banks. The digital oriented strategy has enabled Bankinter to attract the most profitable clients in the industry<sup>10<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking digital to the next level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, Bankinter still has many endeavors to fulfil to remain competitive in the near future. To begin with, Bankinter should upgrade its website to align it with contemporary trends. Despite showing high levels of functionality, Bankinter\u2019s website still has room for improvement when compared to competitors in key aspects such as client onboarding, visual design, adaptive structure and digital marketing<sup>11<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15545\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter.png\" alt=\"bankinter\" width=\"945\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter.png 1494w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter-768x524.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter-1024x699.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/bankinter-600x410.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bankinter will only continue to lead profitability in the competitive and consolidating financial industry if it continues to excel in creating digitally advanced solutions that appeal to the most demanding clients and eases their bank-client relationship. This industry will continue to undergo major changes in the following decades and adaptability will be a key factor to guarantee success in the long term. Will this small yet very profitable bank be able to still lead the digital challenge 10 years from now?<\/p>\n<p>744 words<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bankinter &#8211; Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre. 2016.
