Let’s get rid of Internet Banking…
January 31, 2011 By 13 Comments
If you think about the way we have digital banking and web presence structured today, it is actually wrong.

It assumes that customers are using the channel to save the bank money, when customers are actually using the channel for convenience and to increasingly engage the bank on the fundamentals of day-to-day banking. The increase of online banking usage just doesn’t want to slow down because of this behavioral shift, and unless banks understand and adapt to this shift, their internet banking platforms will increasingly isolate customers who want more convenience and control.
Internet banking fundamentals are going to have to change, and change quickly to cope with the demands of the multi-channel customer of today and tomorrow.
