Banking Industry

What is the banking industry and how is it affected by design?

The banking industry is defined by all the offline and online infrastructure that handles money (cash and cashless), credit, transfers and hundreds of other financial transactions or services. 

Today, we all see global digital transformation in banking that digitizes the banking industry. Bank customers prefer to use mobile banking or desktop solutions and minimize their time visiting bank branches. Thousands of branches are closed, and millions of bankers will lose their jobs in the banking industry in the next decade.

The financial industry actively switches to digital products and is disrupted by Fintech solutions. The Fintech industry provides a modern service for banking customers based on the latest technology in the banking industry. Fintech uses User-Centered Design and a UX approach to deliver the best possible solutions for users worldwide. 

The banking sector must integrate a design approach and user centricity deep into its operational and strategy model to compete with Fintech for the digital future.
