With so much uncertainty, the only thing that's clear is how different the sector may look a year from now. Here's an overview of the leading trends in technology that will impact banking in 2018.

Banks' online advice platforms are just the face of a deeper effort to restructure client data and adapt to a digital era.

It’s been month after month of record-breaking, confounding growth for the cryptocurrency, accompanied by regular warnings from banks about bubble speculation.

Michael Lewis calls it a "pump-and-dump" scheme. Liz Ann Sonders says it's "the next kale." Should clients invest in cryptocurrencies?

The banks' newest offerings hope to attract young clients and keep them there for life. But they face stiff competition.

KeyBank is the latest to join the robo-adviser trend. Its investment services unit just announced a partnership with Jemstep, which is eager to do more such deals with banks now that it is owned by Invesco.

Access to banking information ensures advisors can perform holistic planning, fintech firms say.

The firm built a product to match the current moment, which is political, says CEO Hardeep Walia.

Wealthsimple is backed by the same investor, Power Financial, that last year injected $75 million into Personal Capital.

The digital-advice startup SigFig has now teamed up on robo-advisory offerings with Wells Fargo and UBS, while BlackRock's FutureAdvisor has lined up agreements with U.S. Bancorp, BBVA and others.
