Some have launched numerous tactical pilots without a long-range plan, resulting in confusion and challenges in scaling. Other banks have trained developers but have been unable to move solutions into production. Still more have begun the automation process only to find they lack the capabilities required to move the work forward, much less transform the bank in any comprehensive fashion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They transform complex datasets from different loan trading desks, previously managed in varied formats and structures, into a unified, standardized format. This standardization is key to avoiding data chaos and ensuring efficient, coherent management post-merger. Banking automation has facilitated financial institutions in their desire to offer more real-time, human-free services. These additional services include travel insurance, foreign cash orders, prepaid credit cards, gold and silver purchases, and global money transfers. Banking organizations are constantly competing not just for customers but for highly skilled individuals to fill their job vacancies. Automating repetitive tasks reduces employee workload and allows them to spend their working hours performing higher-value tasks that benefit the bank and increase their levels of job satisfaction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Following this, the data collected will be consistently examined through the use of machine learning to improve the offering and enhance customer experience. Jagtiani and Lemieux (2019) used machine learning to optimize data collected through different channels, which helps arrive at appropriate and inclusive credit recommendations. It is important to note that while the proposed process provides immense value to customers and banking institutions, many customers are hesitant to share their information; thus, trust in the banking institution is key to enhancing customer experience. The term AI was first used in 1956 by John McCarthy (McCarthy et al., 1956); it refers to systems that act and think like humans in a rational way (Kok et al., 2009).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

By leveraging these data-driven insights, banks can optimize their loan portfolios to align with the newly formed entity’s goals and risk appetite. This level of precision in decision making is vital for banks to fully capitalize on the potential of the merger, turning data from a challenge into a strategic advantage for a successful integration. Banks and the financial services industry can now maintain large databases with varying structures, data models, and sources. As a result, they’re better able to identify investment opportunities, spot poor investments earlier, and match investments to specific clients much more quickly than ever before. Traditional software programs often include several limitations, making it difficult to scale and adapt as the business grows.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve seen the headlines and heard the doomsday predictions all claim that disruption isn\u2019t just at the financial services industry\u2019s doorstep, but that it\u2019s already inside the house. And, loathe though we are to be the bearers of bad news, there\u2019s truth to that sentiment. Despite some initial setbacks, fintech has finally made good on its promise to transform the way banks do business, leading 88% of legacy banking institutions to report that they fear losing revenue to financial technology companies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A practical way to get started is to evaluate how the bank\u2019s strategic goals (e.g., growth, profitability, customer engagement, innovation) can be materially enabled by the range of AI technologies\u2014and dovetailing AI goals with the strategic goals of the bank. Once this alignment is in place, bank leaders should conduct a comprehensive diagnostic of the bank\u2019s starting position across the four layers, to identify areas that need key shifts, additional investments and new talent. They can then translate these insights into a transformation roadmap that spans business, technology, and analytics teams. The AI-first bank of the future will need a new operating model for the organization, so it can achieve the requisite agility and speed and unleash value across the other layers. While most banks are transitioning their technology platforms and assets to become more modular and flexible, working teams within the bank continue to operate in functional silos under suboptimal collaboration models and often lack alignment of goals and priorities. Reimagining the engagement layer of the AI bank will require a clear strategy on how to engage customers through channels owned by non-bank partners.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
