1. The “DON’TS” before your bank goes Digital
While we have gone through the necessities of Digital Banking, along with the foundations of
making it successful, it is also necessary to avoid some obvious errors that most first-timers end
up making.
Think like a Customer, not a Business!
But how?
Start with customer journeys. How do you plan to offer an easier and compelling experience to
your customers as compared to your competitors?
Focus on your mobile device. The first touchpoint for customers nowadays is mobile devices,
and they have become a critical tool to sell, service and retain customers. One should always
2. keep in mind that the customer will be on a small screen, with touchscreen input, and a number
of distractions.
Personalize the customer experience. This is where Data Analytics comes into the picture. Use
all the available information about your customers and make offers that not only resonate with
them but also demonstrate how well you understand them.
Identify key customer pain points. Identify where their activities stall, incur errors, drop off, or
are abandoned. Then drive your focus towards making incremental changes on those pain points
and measure the improvements over time. The true measure of a successful digital bank relies
on how much time customers spend to satisfy their actual needs.
Separate Out the Distribution from the Manufacturing
Unlike monolithic bank IT structures of the past, a digital
bank cannot function efficiently with a single integrated
system that requires a manufacturing change every time
a new distribution feature has to be added.
In the digital banking space, the manufacturing has to be
designed for the long haul, while the front-end has to be
agile enough to adapt to the changing needs of the
clients. Naturally, the front-end has to be flexible
enough to have different features for different clients.
This presents a challenge, as the flow of data between Manufacturing and Distribution is critical
to the entire process. In modern digital banks, the key is the separation of the systems through
documented APIs and loosely coupled micro-services. In simple terms, it means that changes in
one system do not affect the other.
3. For manufacturing, a key constraint is capacity. Adopting a cloud-native, cloud-agnostic back-
office will help providers meet changing demands at a lower cost. Agility is the key to distribution.
The digital front office should unify all customer journeys on architecture optimized for rapid
iteration and improvement. And by creating a core-independent distribution, a user interface
change would no longer require coding and integration changes in the core.
Do not become Responsible for Everything!
For a complex and scalable digital bank, there will be
a number of features and services that may be
required in order to provide the best experience to
the users, and trying to build all of these features
internally can overwhelm your ability to deliver.
Services like identity verification, risk scoring, fraud
detection, and payment services need to be
integrated into the complete digital banking solution.
But why not try to take advantage of the existing,
already proven services that have been pre-integrated or are available off the shelf?
For example: Say your bank starts experiencing a rapid escalation of fraudulent transactions
linked to a new product offer, and it needs a new fraud screening approach – ASAP. Instead of
having to wait for months of design, development, test, and release cycles to integrate with your
chosen FinTech solution, your bank can access this as a pre-integrated capability – ready to be
called via API from the digital banking platform. This new process flow would only take days, not
months.
4. The takeaway here is to use APIs and services that have already been created and proven. Then
use your internal team to understand and adopt the external services the digital banking platform
already offers.
Don’t Choose the Wrong Implementation Partner
This is perhaps the biggest mistake that a bank can make
while going digital, to go ahead with an implementation
partner that does not align with the strategies of your
bank.
A digital banking platform is just like an iceberg, shining
visibly above the surface, but the bulk of it is hidden
underwater. And if you just pay attention to the
obviously visible part of the iceberg, your ship can run
into the big piece underneath, inviting a disaster.
To avoid trouble, a lot more attention needs to be placed on the platform that customers never
see, but that supports the weight of their user experience. This underlying infrastructure is where
rapidly changing product catalogs, integration to new FinTech services, and the ability to start,
save and resume an onboarding transaction are managed. These less visible elements make up
the difficult parts of building a new banking platform, hidden from view but critical to the
operation.
This is exactly why while implementing a digital bank, we should be mindful of the fact that if we
only focus on the look and feel, and don’t plan on building a scalable and flexible platform
underneath, it will eventually turn out to be a Titanic mistake.
