Due to the large quantity of data that is being manipulated, establishing and maintaining trust in data represents a challenging task as the sources and data variety grows. A bank that can harness big data can derive more insight about their business and build competitive advantage. 

According to a recent study by Thomas Davenport and Jill Dyché at the International Institute for Analytics working with SAS Institute, several US banks are using big data in order to understand how customers use their different channels such as branches, online, mobile, call centers and ATMs.

As it can be seen, banks are getting a better understanding of the consumer, but there is still along way yo go. The Financial Technology Innovation Lab is run by Accenture in collaboration with a group of the UK's leading financial service institutions, angel investors and venture capital firm. Six finalist will join the program from January to March in the City, London and pitch their ideas at the "Investors Day".
