What is digital transformation in banking and how could UX design help?
Digital transformation in banking and financial services is the complete digital technology integration into all processes of a financial institution, changing the basics of company operation and the customers they serve.
Digital transformation in banking requires not only adapting new financial technologies, but primarily establishing a cultural switch to ensure a user centered approach in creating digital banking solutions that delight users.
The following are some different digital transformation types:
- Digital transformation in retail banking
- Digital transformation in commercial banking
- Digital transformation in investment banking
All of these have a similar roadmap and provide digital transformation risks in banking. If you ignore customers’ expectations and needs for digital banking services, this could decrease demand and ruin transformation. A successful digital banking transformation strategy must be user centered, refocusing the entire organization on delivering maximum value to its customers, thus winning their loyalty and support.
