For Judo to succeed in a market dominated by giants, it has to differentiate itself, relating everything back to its purpose.  Technology: Understanding there is a huge gap of customer dissatisfaction in the current banking system, the key for Judo is a modern technology banking model with a strong human face. Judo doesn't see technology ever replacing human judgment, but making things much more efficient.  Customer Journey Experience: Using technology to create seamless and more human customer experiences, through specific data and efficient human judgement.   Technology company or bank?: Traditional banking vs Modern banking. The main role of technology, data analytics and personnel training to create the ‘Judo Way’ a more humane and efficient approach of banking focused on SME.  Value proposition:  How the 4 C’s, character, capacity, capital and collateral can influence decisions.  Bankers who are passionate about their business, that differentiates on the speed of decision making have the ability to be competitive.
