Insight - Having become accustomed to intuitive, simple, and innovative user experiences in nearly every other technology product or service in their lives, consumers today expect the same from even the most traditional of institutions. For many consumers, having an extraordinarily easy-to-use interface is not a bonus, but a minimum requirement.
Workshop Question - In what ways could you make your product offerings more efficient and hands-off? What technology could you integrate?

3. Banking Fee-tracking Apps - New applications to tackle financial pain points such 'MyHiddenFees' offers consumers the ability to precise banking fees and potentially find more affordable solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Fintech - Financial institutions can partner with fintech startups to create hybrid applications that combine smart algorithms with human advisors.
