Avertim in Banking & Insurance

The Banking & Insurance industry finds itself at a transformative crossroads, facing a myriad of challenges from regulatory scrutiny and digital transformation to evolving customer expectations.

Digital Transformation: The New Competitive Imperative

Digital transformation is not an option but a competitive imperative.Financial institution must leverage cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead:

Open Banking: Utilizing open APIs to enable a seamless ecosystem of financial services is no longer a 'nice to have' but a 'must-have'.
InsurTech innovations: AI-driven claims processing and blockchain-based fraud detection are not futuristic concepts but current necessities.
Cybersecurity: With a 67% increase in cyberattacks on financial services firms in the last year, robust cybersecurity frameworks are non-negotiable.

Customer Centricity: The Cornerstone of Sustainable Growth

In an industry where 65% of customers say they would switch banks for a better digital experience, customer centricity is the cornerstone of sustainable growth:

Omnichannel Experience: A seamless customer journey across all touchpoint is not a luxury but a basic expectation.
Customer Retention & Loyalty Programs: It costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one, making customer loyalty programs not just beneficial but essential.
