• Digital Transformation and Strategy in the Banking Sector

Banks have been using digital technologies to help transform various areas of their business. There’s an even bigger opportunity—go all digital.

While it’s important for banks to digitize their existing businesses, creating a new digital-only banking business can meet an evolving set of customer expectations quickly and effectively. This is especially true in fast-growing emerging markets where customer needs often go unmet by current offerings. The functionality of digital offerings is limited, and consumers frequently highlight low customer service at branches as a key pain point.

Customers have become more familiar with the use of products online. This has opened up the market to new entrants – such as fintech firms and big tech platforms – which are able to develop attractive and easy-to-use customer interfaces for their services. As a result, services are offered in an efficient manner to customers, enabling the unbundling of financial services and offering customers a wider range of choices creating more customer involvement in the process.

So how should banks think about a digital-only offer?

Because banking is a highly regulated industry and a stronghold of conservative corporate culture, there are tremendous intenal complexities that need to be addressed. These include the cannibalization risk to existing businesses and the need to foster a different, more agile culture to enable the incubation and growth of an in-house “start-up.”

The good news is that our work shows it is feasible to build a new digital bank at substantially lower capex and lower opex per customer than for traditional banks.

This is due not only to the absence of physical branches but also to simplified up-front product offerings and more streamlined processes, such as the use of vendor-hosted solutions and selective IT investment, that reduce the need for expensive legacy systems.

What is digital banking & digital banking services?

Digital banking gives businesses the ability to manage money through their phone, with apps that have real-time updates on spending, plus features for budgeting and saving.

Digital banking is the digitization of every level, from front- to back-end, of banking. This means that digital banks rely on artificial intelligence to automate back-end operations such as administrative tasks and data processing—which in tun alleviates pressure put on employees to complete day-to-day tasks.

Not only do digital banks allow users to make account deposits and transfers remotely; but they also provide them with the opportunity to more easily apply for loans and access personalized money management services.

Why mobile applications are gaining importance in the banking sector?

The moden consumer will tend to use mobile app features instead of visiting the traditional branch, and there are various reasons for that.
