easy · FRM Part 2 Operational Risk
A Chief Risk Officer (CRO) observes that 12 regional banks have all outsourced their core banking systems to the same 'Bank-in-a-Box' fintech provider.
From a 'Macroprudential' perspective, what is the primary concern?
- The fintech provider will eventually become too profitable relative to the 12 banks and will seek to acquire several of them outright.
- The 12 regional banks will find it considerably easier to collude on interest rates and fee schedules now that they all share one common technology vendor.
- A single operational failure at the fintech provider could trigger a simultaneous, correlated failure of 12 banks, creating systemic instability.
- The 12 banks will all report an identical Business Indicator (BI) component in their annual SMA operational risk capital calculation each reporting period.
