Common banking challenges faced by customers

Last week, one of the big banks in Latin America faced big transactional problems. Apparently, the errors didn’t show only on the bank’s application and virtual pages; some ATMs were not throwing the withdrawn money but were deducted from the accounts.

Similarly, a few customers of India’s largest private lender turned crorepatis for some hours, all due to a technical error. Initial reports indicated that Rs 13 crore each was deposited in 100 accounts, totaling Rs 1,300 crore.

Over the last decades, banks emphasized making in-person services for their customers, but now digital channels are re-imaging the experience.
We’ve identified these pain points as consistent themes:

Inconvenient self-administration tools:

Sometimes, it becomes a really daunting task for customers to update or manage their credentials without hitting the branch or calling the customer service representatives. One fintech is solving this issue- ECS Fin's Payments is a well-organized transaction processing system that can manage and control the entire range of payments, messaging, and connectivity.

Notifications:

The payments processing industry has grown like an unplanned city over the years. Some applications offered by banks don't really help as customers want to relish the real-time notification whenever they make a transaction. Fixing this hassle, IMS Payment Solutions is made, which is the 100% reliable, high-performance, fully accountable application.

Fragmented experience:

No real connection between the employee channel and user self-service leading to fragmented experience across different channels. In order to make the experience more integrated, IMS Payments provides notifications through all digital channels.

Generic insights:

Dearth of guidance to operate the application as bank's applications are not customized per customer relationships.
