Global BFSI Industry Digital Trends Amid COVID-19 in 2022, Based on an Online Survey of 429 IT Decision-makers

DUBLIN, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Digital Trends in the BFSI Industry Amidst COVID-19 and Beyond" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Results in this survey are based on an online survey of 429 IT decision-makers in the banking financial services, and insurance industry around the globe.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the move to digital channels, the cloud, and self-service customer care so financial companies could take advantage of new technologies to keep businesses running sans a staff yet maintain a satisfactory level of customer experience (CX). BFSI companies are focusing on improving digital experiences such as digital customer and employee onboarding, online payments, proactive alerts, payment reminders, self-serve access to account information, and quicker loan approvals.

FBSI organizations are in the process of substantial digital transformations, with CX top of mind. Employee safety, productivity, engagement, and retention are also a top priority amidst the pandemic. Shift to the cloud has accelerated so that businesses can take advantage of new features, scalability, and flexibility.

Self-service tools are being used more frequently by all generations; with the help of AI, they can be more effective and faster at handling ever-more complex queries. Security has always been a top concern, but with WFH being a continued reality, it's front and center as an IT issue. Consumer trust is non-negotiable in this industry.

The ability to deliver excellent customer experiences through mobile devices is crucial for survival; this means delivering seamless and effortless interactions and transactions regardless of the method or channel the customer has used to communicate each time they connect with a business.
