Fintech 3.0: The Revolutionary Impact of Technology in Banking
Open banking stands out to be the game-changer in the sector’s digital transformation. Digital-only banks are increasingly the preferred route for banking, predominantly among millennials because of their strong attachment to smart devices. Contactless payments have garnered significant traction during the COVID-19 pandemic as an alternative to carrying out electronic funds transfers at the point of sale. Given the rapid evolution of digital banking, customers are finding it more convenient to manage their finances through online channels, which made the banking sector vulnerable to cyber threats.
The banking sector is under immense pressure due to growing competition from the new-age fintech, a cultural shift towards a tech-first attitude, compliance with mounting regulations, new business models and dramatically changing consumer patterns.
With the advent of emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain, banks are replacing traditional channels with digital to reach, connect and engage more customers, and reduce costs. Digital channels are enabling banks to increase customer touchpoints and offer tailored products and services from anywhere.
