Digital transformation

Don’t let the digital transformation be your nightmare!

Reducing the number of branches is a trend that has been with us over the past decade. This process seems to be accelerating, in 2021 on developed markets 9% of branches were shut down within a year. The pandemic clearly has its mark on all sectors, retail banking is no exception. Shifting to a more digital approach and opening up more digital channels, enabling customers to access services without personal contact is a clear trend.

Providing a digital opportunity to a wide variety of products and information in a convenient way can easily result in competitive advantage. Building up or further developing the available channels of the bank is clearly a significant investment of time, resource and money. The question might come up: is it worth it? Can we trust that this trend keeps going on? The truth is, we do not know for sure, however we cannot overlook the fact in 2021, more than 40 percent of core retail banking sales was originated in digital channels.

Let’s see what are the corner stones of a customer portal that can encourage the banks and its clients to move towards digitalization.
