2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Banks are one of the very few sectors that has been slow in
adopting digital technology. It just doesn't mean adding
new channels such as online and mobile banking. It means
striving to provide an enhanced user experience by
seamlessly integrating with the existing channels. This
integration shouldn't be at the cost of losing a loyal
customer who might prefer a traditional face to face
interaction but should be aimed at providing a seamless
transition platform that would initially entice and delight
the customer with a variety of new user friendly features.
This channel can never replace the branch banking but the
channels can always supplement each other to provide a
holistic user experience.
