Industry digitalisation analysis

Digitalization of banks and credit institutions

Smoother processing of applications and clearer response to the client

Digital maturity

Typical digital maturity

Shows the level of digitalisation companies in this line of business typically operate at.

The assessment considers use of core systems, how far processes are digitalised, integrations, data readiness and advanced use of data.

A 3 means ordinary, middling maturity. A 5 is given only where real-time data, automated decisions and advanced optimisation are already a routine part of core operations.

Shows the scale of business impact digitalisation could have in this line of business.

It weighs economic leverage, the scope for digital impact, the scale and repetition of processes, value lost today, and the leverage of better data and decisions.

A business area’s score is calculated from five weighted dimensions. A sector’s score is derived from the scores of its business areas.

Operating model

Daily payments, consumer credit and business financing services vary. Some institutions use shared systems, so the need for additional features needs to be assessed against available options.

Private Customer Banking

The bank administers bills, payments, credits and other products of the residents. Service is combined with customer and transaction checks required for a specific service.

Business Customer Banking

Its representatives, owners, financial condition and service requested are important in evaluating the company. Different employees check the information assigned to them and make decisions within the mandate.

Provision of several banking services

The customer can use several products and service channels. The employee is provided with the information necessary for his task, and limited research data remains only for authorized teams.

Credit union with shared technological services

The union serves its members and evaluates funding requests. Part of the systems and risk services can be provided by a common partner, so additional solutions are combined with tools already in use.

Market context

The application of the bank's client can go through service, credit assessment and control teams. The customer needs a clear need for documents and a response about the progress, and the bank needs reliable data and traceable solutions from specialists. Additional tools must be tapped into the operating systems of the bank and maintain their responsibility.

  • Continuity of serviceWhen a channel or employee is changed, the customer should not have to repeat the information already provided without a reasonable reason.
  • Reliable Systems CollaborationApplications, checks and payment states must reach the team responsible in time while maintaining proper access rights.

Workflow and responsibilities

01

Customer Needs and Documents

The employee or self-service collects the data necessary for the selected service. Checks the identity of the client and the right to act on behalf of the company or another person.

02

Evaluation of the application

The specialist evaluates the application according to the current product and risk rules. Missing data and additional checks have a clear responsible employee.

03

Decision and Proposal

An authorized employee confirms the decision and conditions. The client is explained what actions are still to be performed to conclude the contract.

04

Contract and Service Commencement

After checking the necessary conditions, contracts are made and scheduled operations are performed. Their results are forwarded to the accounting and service team.

05

Further service

Client questions, risk alerts and transaction discrepancies are forwarded to the responsible professionals. Decisions are recorded and verified if agreed-upon actions have been taken.

Digital maturity scale

1

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

2

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

3

Partially integrated systems

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

4

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

5

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

Most work can be saved where document collection and application transfer between teams are repeated. It must be clear to the employee what has been checked, what has been decided and what is still pending.
