medium · 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?

  1. The fintech provider will become too profitable and will eventually buy the banks.
  2. The 12 banks will be able to collude on interest rates more easily.
  3. A single operational failure at the fintech provider could trigger a simultaneous, correlated failure of 12 banks, creating systemic instability.
  4. The banks will all have the same Business Indicator (BI) for their SMA calculation.
