Banking customers are more demanding than ever and banks need the technology to respond quickly to their needs.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Over the past year, banks around the world for different needs, were forced to close branches and restricted access to basic in-person services that customers had come to trust. The convulsions of the Covid-19 pandemic highlight current industry challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since customers were less likely to access their trusted local branches, they continued to flock to new Fintech products and tech offerings (think big-name tech firms that integrate financial services into their platforms). These new entrants to the market often come with the promise of a slicker or simpler customer experience - getting to know customers where they want to be, rather than forcing them to come to you. It is simple but effective and has created a golden opportunity for these companies to penetrate the customer bases of many banks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around the\u00a043% of consumers<\/a>\u00a0They told services consultancy EY that the way they conduct their banking has changed due to COVID-19. However, these trends are simply an acceleration of what had been happening for the past decade, especially among the young and tech-savvy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks are feeling the pressure. Their digital transformations have paid off during the pandemic, with financial services companies leading the market with\u00a0better than expected earnings<\/a>\u00a0in the first two quarters of 2021. At the same time, many of the new, higher-profit services are also driving more competition. Up to half of all financial product purchases among the 56,000 consumers\u00a0surveyed by Bain & Company<\/a>\u00a0they went to a company that was not the respondent's primary bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep these customers, banks must be able to meet customer needs in more ways and in more places. Doing so will require that these financial institutions\u00a0reinvent your core utility for a new era of customer focus<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover the banking technologies that do the most for your customer.<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTrust has been the true means of exchange between society and its financial institutions for<\/span><\/p>\n

since banks have been around, \u201dsaid Sarah Diamond, IBM's global general manager for the financial services industry, in a recent interview with Industrious.<\/span><\/p>\n

When combined with new technology platforms like the cloud and artificial intelligence, banks' old trusted stores can give them the edge they need, provided they can leverage technology to deliver the financial products and services customers have come to expect. Supporting communities and exceeding customer expectations is an unbeatable combination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks only need\u00a0find the formula to provide both<\/a>\u00a0as well or better than its newer competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any moment, in any place<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As the nexus of banking moves away from the bank and towards the customer, digital services first are becoming the primary mode of engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks must put mobile devices ahead of the marble when it comes to creating dynamic new experiences and offering products omnichannel. They not only compete with the bank on the other side of town or across the country, but also with the latest innovations coming out of Silicon Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Existe un fuerte deseo en todos los bancos de volver a centrarse en las interacciones humanas\", dijo Likhit Wagle, gerente general de banca global y mercados financieros de IBM.\u00a0\u201cLa pandemia realmente expuso la brecha digital.\u00a0Tendremos que buscar soluciones digitales que satisfagan las necesidades de las peque\u00f1as empresas, las personas mayores y otras poblaciones no bancarizadas que necesitan nuestros servicios tanto como cualquiera, o incluso m\u00e1s \u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as the\u00a0trained buyers<\/a>\u00a0today's customers expect retailers to provide in-store product availability through a digital app, banking customers expect an integrated and consistent experience across channels. They want services tailored to their preferences that are accessible from anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that banks must think beyond the primary mission of executing secure transactions. While this remains a core utility for banks for the foreseeable future, they must also be able to leverage all customer input to improve and personalize the experience across channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

AI to focus on the customer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It will take more than a brilliant app for banks to compete against the tech giants. Banks will have to reinvent all their information architectures at the most fundamental level.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLos bancos tienen que solucionar el problema del sistema heredado\u201d, dijo Jean-Philippe Desbiolles, vicepresidente global de datos, cognitivo e inteligencia artificial para servicios financieros de IBM.\u00a0\"La dependencia continua de los sistemas heredados se est\u00e1 convirtiendo en un problema real, especialmente en lo que respecta a escalar r\u00e1pidamente la inteligencia artificial y los datos\".<\/span><\/p>\n

Desbiolles sees three key areas in which the\u00a0AI will facilitate the fastest and biggest ROI<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first is decision support, broadly defined as intelligent systems that facilitate better decision-making throughout the organization, such as fraud detection, risk assessment, and customer solvency. The second is customer personalization, whereby artificial intelligence tools enable banks to provide a more personalized experience for each individual customer based on their preferences and financial circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

En tercer lugar, Desbiolles ve a los bancos, ahora con m\u00e1s datos que nunca, para servir no solo como facilitadores de transacciones, sino tambi\u00e9n como consultores de bienestar financiero personal.\u00a0\"Creo que este punto es muy interesante\", dijo Desbiolles, \"porque est\u00e1 posicionando al banco no solo como un socio comercial, sino tambi\u00e9n como un socio que lo est\u00e1 ayudando a usted como cliente a administrar mejor sus finanzas\".<\/span><\/p>\n

But these innovations, Diamond emphasized, will need to be explored with care and diligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLos bancos tienen que ser custodios de los datos basados \u200b\u200ben principios y de alta integridad, y no abusadores de los datos\u201d, dijo, subrayando la importancia de la confianza y la transparencia en la inteligencia artificial.\u00a0\u201cLa IA se basa principalmente en datos hist\u00f3ricos con el potencial de perpetuar sesgos no deseados.\u00a0Los bancos deber\u00e1n ser extremadamente reflexivos sobre c\u00f3mo impulsar la eficiencia en la aplicaci\u00f3n de herramientas de inteligencia artificial, para poder equilibrar los beneficios para el cliente, la protecci\u00f3n de datos y la superaci\u00f3n de prejuicios \".<\/span><\/p>\n

Opening<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Similar diligence will need to be demonstrated in another trending area: open banking. This practice promises a way for banks to accelerate their digital transformation journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

By strategically opening access to specific customer and operational data, while adhering to appropriate regulatory frameworks in\u00a0every step of the way,<\/a>\u00a0banks can better adopt and capitalize on innovative third-party services. Secure but simple integration with those partners' applications and APIs is a crucial step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bharat Bhushan, IBM's CTO for banking and financial markets in Europe, has been involved with open banking since the European Banking Authority announced\u00a0PSD2<\/a>\u00a0, the Second Directive on Payment Services. Bhushan advocates that banks differentiate between basic and secondary services and take an incremental approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"En algunos casos, puede renunciar a algunas partes de su negocio que no son fundamentales\", dijo Bhushan.\u00a0\u201cY el hecho de que no tenga esa interacci\u00f3n con el cliente directamente en una aplicaci\u00f3n m\u00f3vil, no significa que no sea importante en ese negocio.\u00a0Se trata de elegir d\u00f3nde quieres enfocarte \".<\/span><\/p>\n

Core competencies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic hit the banking sector hard. Fortunately, banks have something that Silicon Valley players don't: consumer confidence. Being a trusted intermediary between savers and borrowers with care and attention to all their needs has always been the heart of banking, and some prominent brands have built this trust for a century or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bank's deep-seated relationships are a critical differentiator, but alone will not be enough. \"The survival of individual banks may depend on new information technology architectures that provide the scalability of a technology and the agility of a fintech,\" said Diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, to beat tech companies, banks must, to some extent, become tech companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic showed that banks cannot afford to continue their normal activities. Banks need a clear information architecture transformation strategy that involves omnichannel engagement infused with artificial intelligence and enabled by strategic collaborations with third-party technology partners. With these goals in mind, banks can become the institutions that clients need now.<\/span><\/p>\n
