World Retail Banking Report 2021: To create new value, banks can adopt Banking-as-a-Service to embed finance in consumer lifestyles

e than 86% of consumers saying they would share their data to gain a better, more personalised experience. Incumbents need to build digital capabilities to harvest these data ecosystems to create, retain, and increase value in the Banking 4.X era. Leading banks will keep customers at the heart of their transformation journey by tracking behaviors and sentiment through smart data analytics.

Banks, however, need to act quickly. Capgemini and Efma’s report found that 61% of firms lack a dedicated customer experience (CX) management team to define customer roadmaps. Banks can drastically improve their customer experience by deploying a digital CX layer and reimagining branches as experience centres, to offer consistent and secure omni-channel experience across all touchpoints.
