What this question trains
This problem practices how to think about competitive disruption in financial services, especially the relationship between incumbents and fintech-enabled third parties. A strong interview answer should weigh customer retention, product innovation, regulatory change, and the strategic importance of platform integrations rather than treating technology as automatically destructive. Interviewers ask questions like this to see whether candidates can assess industry trends in a balanced way and explain how banks can respond to new competition while still protecting and expanding their franchise.
