In the years since the 2008/2009 financial crisis, mistrust of the banking and financing industry remains high (Erman, 2013). This provides a unique challenge across the financial sector, including the relevant interior industries of investment banking and venture capital. Once the market crashed and the mechanics behind it came to light, a large portion of the American populace dramatically shifted their opinions in regards to the financial sector. This sentiment came to a head two years after the collapse with the creation of the Occupy Wall Street movement (Erman, 2013). While not the sole cause, pressure from the American public played a part in the increased regulation that the financial sector sees today including the Dodd Frank Act. A large part of this negative backlash was due to an inherent misunderstanding of the inner workings of the financial system (Erman, 2013). However, a lack financial knowledge did not mean the backlash was any less successful.
In order for a new entrant to successfully compete, they will need to understand the impact of information systems in the industry they intend to enter. It is stated that the changes of information systems (IT) can have a significant impact on the products or services, the economies of production and geographic distribution among other factors (reference). In many businesses the internet has increased the risk of new entrants to enter the market by reducing the limitations to entry, for example selling the products online and distributing them anywhere in the world (Rainer et.al, 2013). During these modern days, financial companies can now provide online services (money transactions) for their customers globally due to IT erasing the geographic market barrier. On the other hand, online based services can be complex therefore there are systems required in order to manage the transactions effectively which can be very costly.

Most banking industry and development analysts assert that technological change is one of the important factors underlying the dynamics in the banking industry structure and performance today which leads to cost competitiveness and diversification into new lines of business to improve profitability, through strategic positioning and processes.
