The BaaS industry in the Asia Pacific region has been outperforming global banking standards for several years. As economies in the region, especially emerging markets like India, mature, the banking sector’s earnings, return on equity, and price-to-book ratios are beginning to align with global norms. However, banks are facing shrinking profit margins, declining asset quality, and increasing capital costs due to slowing economic growth and rising cyber threats. These pressures are driving potential consolidation in the industry as banks seek to achieve economies of scale in capital, production, and capacity.

Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market Dynamics:
Banks in the Asia Pacific BaaS market are expected to focus on reducing costs and achieving greater efficiency. Key areas of growth include asset management, commercial lending, SME financing, and transaction banking. Banks with advanced digital and analytics capabilities are likely to secure significant additional revenue in these sectors. Major players like WeBank and PingAn are anticipated to adopt strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions to enhance scale. These banks aim to either transform themselves or face the risk of obsolescence during a period of likely consolidation. Many businesses are already laying the groundwork for a data-driven, client-centric digital banking model.
To adapt, banks are shifting towards a more flexible technology infrastructure and operating model. They are enhancing their data and analytics capabilities and recruiting new talent to meet the demands of the future workforce. High-performing banks are likely to acquire smaller firms to gain market share, technology, and talent synergies.
Asian banks are increasingly surpassing their Western counterparts in scale, and the region’s technological sophistication offers significant opportunities for innovation. Leading fintech companies such as Alipay and WeChat Pay are at the forefront of digital payment scalability. According to McKinsey’s Global Payments Map, digital payments make up almost 99% of cashless transactions in China and account for 45% of digital payments globally.
Asia Pacific Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Market Segment Analysis:
By enterprise size, large enterprises dominated the Asia Pacific BaaS market in 2023 and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% over the forecast period (2024-2030). This dominance is largely due to banks traditionally favoring large enterprises, often overlooking SMEs. The majority of SMEs in the Asia Pacific region rely on non-bank sources for working capital financing.
Additionally, banks have recognized that partnering with large digital companies, such as e-commerce giants, offers access to new customers and valuable data. For instance, Kotak Bank partnered with Bharti Airtel to reduce customer acquisition costs while gaining access to Airtel’s 250,000 retail outlets across India. Similarly, by acquiring BSS Microfinance, Kotak Bank expanded its reach to lower-income clients, gaining access to approximately 220,000 customers and 80 branches.
One challenge banks face is the lack of adequate data to accurately assess SME creditworthiness, leading to poor lending decisions. Consequently, risk costs for SMEs in Asia Pacific are over twice that of large corporations. However, banks that leverage online channels and advanced analytics to target suitable SME clients for both secured and unsecured loans can tap into a lucrative market. For example, China Merchants Bank (CMB) developed a fully digital SME platform that simplifies loan applications, allowing customers to access funds within minutes after an automated evaluation process. Third-party service providers also contribute to the platform’s growth by connecting through APIs, enhancing its activity.
