Why local lenders need this playbook

According to a recent report, online banking use has risen by 23%, and mobile banking use has increased by 30%. With the ongoing threat of the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses have awakened to new ways of functioning, and these numbers are likely to increase even further in years to come. Local banks built on traditional models have to step up to the changes we’re seeing, or they will lose customers - it’s that simple. While in the past, digital transformation was more of a luxury, and companies could choose if they would follow this trend at all and if it would suit them, it is now a matter of urgency. Customers are demanding a seamless digital experience from banking services, and lenders must meet this need or be left behind.
