Summary

Online banking has changed the way people use other banking channels over the past decade.

To do that, banks need to put digital channels at the heart of their strategies. Executives need to build a new generation of digital financial services that integrate human and self-service touchpoints by right-channeling routine interactions to self-service, turning branches into advice centers, generating sales online by integrating human help, and delivering on customer demand for mobile banking with mobile money management, marketing, and sales.
