6 FinTech market in CEE trends In total, the CEE FinTech market is estimated to be worth over 2.2 billion, with the FinTech investment market in the region to grow at 55% annually until Innovations for the banking sector provide the greatest share of FinTech solutions in all CEE countries.

Insurance and asset management sectors are considered to be far behind, with the focus in the insurance industry being on improving distribution channels (apps, gamification), and launching new services based on telematics. The asset management sector is deemed to be still conservative with most financial institutions using systems provided by traditional vendors Estonia is CEE s near-runaway tech-leader, with the government encouraging or even requiring the digitization of business processes and many aspects of daily interactions with the public sector Poland has been widely considered to be among the frontrunners as a hub of technological innovation Source: Fintech in CEE Deloitte 6

12 FinTech market in Poland regulatory changes EU regulatory changes PSD 2 Should be adopted to Polish law until January 2018 (currently at the stage of legislative work) The PSD2 seeks to standardize and make interoperable card, Internet, and mobile payments. It is expected to accelerate open banking as it will require banks to open up data and transactions to certain new payment market entrants (per the PSD2 XS2A rule). It introduces a new category of entities to the payment market TPP (Thrid Party Provider) MIFID II It will change the European financial market (increase transparency, change the distribution model of investment funds) Legal changes in Poland XII.2016 Financial Supervision Authority announces, that Poland should become the regional hub of financial innovations I.2017 XI.2017 Team of analysts identifies over 100 regulatory barriers of Fintech growth 3 barriers has already disappeared, 58 are in the state of liquidation THE AIM The aim is to change attitude of financial institutions to financial innovations and create friendly legal environment enabling development of Fintechs.

13 FinTech market in Poland key challenges and perspective of growth Key challenges Legal barriers (eg. unclear regulations concerning data protection) Necessary change of, Financial Supervisory Authority attitude to new, innovative companies (currently very conservative) Legal issues Key driving factors Introducing PSD2 EU directive, which will probably have great impact on Fintech sector development Slow change of Financial Supervisory Authority attitude, liquidating legal barriers Cybersecurity: will fintechs, as startups, have enough funds to ensure security of data? Technological issues Great technological maturity of Polish banks (banks are Fintechs themselves) Many unique solutions invented in Poland (eg. BLIK) Increasing venture capital investments in fintechs (currently only 0,0005% of GDP) Polish Fintechs should start to operate globally and avoid the middle income trap Other issues High penetration of online and mobile banking, as well as positive attitude to technology innovation among Polish people Potential od Polish specialists: we are currently the hub of talented IT specialists and technological graduates Source: Fintech w Polsce bariery i szansy rozwoju report 13

14 What are the possible paths of development? Traditional financial institutions will lose 20% of market share to fintechs According to the first scenario, traditional financial institutions will gradually deepen their cooperation and adapt their services to the changing expectations of clients. However, the reconstruction will be too slow, resulting in the loss of around 20% of market shares to fintechs. Many banks will disappear from the market, others will significantly reduce their role It may happen that the actions taken by the banks will be insufficient and the dynamics of the changes will lead to the disappearance of many of them from the market, while the rest will bring to the role of organizations offering basic financial services such as bills banking, deposits and a narrow range of loans. There will be a symbiosis and cooperation between traditional financial institutions and Fintechs The combined strength of traditional banks and fintechs will lead to the emergence of a new ecosystem of banking services that responds more effectively to customer needs and market challenges. The most possible scenario for Poland Source: Sektor finansowy coraz bardziej fintech - PWC 14
