The New Face of Finance: Accelerated FinTech Adoption in the New Normal

These tumultuous times are concerning for all of us, but they also provide an opportunity for change and positive disruption. As I reflect on the needs of clients and identify areas for opportunity, I realize that financial services are at an inflection point, and a disruption in payments and a digital shift was occurring.

Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, consumers now demand a more convenient and secure way of banking. Physical banking is becoming less common. And, as we move forward, the digitalization of systems, processes, and services will continue at a rapid pace. Before the crisis, utilization was slow. But now, consumer adoption is accelerating and the need for digital transformation is driven by the growing need for contactless transactions. FinTechs had already begun to erode traditional models, and COVID-19 has now imposed an even faster rate of change.

Before COVID-19, scale and customer trust were the main reasons why financial services organizations found it more challenging to reach customers who were more accustomed to cash transactions and in-person banking. Now, as we navigate the crisis, the FinTech industry is expanding and becoming even more globally relevant. At the same time, FinTech companies are rethinking and redesigning processes for business continuity in unprecedented ways.

More automated banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) requires more intelligent solutions

With digital solutions that span the entire customer journey, it’s easier to reach new markets, attract more customers, and ensure higher satisfaction and retention. And, with integrated front and back-office support, companies can establish the right foundation for satisfying the current needs of cardholders, point-of-sale providers, processors, acquirers, merchants, and more.
