Digitization: Its Impact on the Banking Sector
Every sector has seen a significant transformation thanks to the digital transformation, regardless of whether it is public or private. The banking sector is not an exception. It is constantly evolving and adapting to a rapidly changing environment. While we think digitization means only providing online services, in reality it encompasses much more than that.
The entire banking industry has been transformed by the emergence of the FinTech firms and the integration of technology. It makes it easier to give priority to the customer needs. It has also forced banks to adapt their digital strategies and rethink how they view the market. Traditional banks now combine digitization with human interactions that are thoughtful and caring at critical moments in customer journeys.
This example shows how an personal loan can now be accessed online in under 2 minutes. Young professionals who have just started their careers now own a house they couldn’t imagine buying without having saved 20-30 years. Young people are embracing risk-taking and taking risks to create their own businesses. Because loans are affordable and readily available, all of this is possible. Banks are fulfilling the financial needs of people by offering affordable pricing and high liquidity.
