Mobile FinTech software for Financial Institutions

If you ever paid something with your phone or transferred money with an app, you are closer to FinTech than you think. FinTech has been changing the industry and the demands of users for a while. It includes not only technologies but products, and business models. As the world is getting more digital, FinTech modernization can’t be omitted by such financial institutions as banks. Tons of paperwork, signatures, and clarifications now can be performed in a few clicks due to FinTech’s impact. Payments and transfers are now smoothly done online, from P2P (people to people, individual transfers) currency exchange to B2B (transfers between legal entities) payment and transfer services. Now, things that were considered a perk are a necessity.

FinTech evolution is giving users new ways of payment, which is why things like cloud desks, smart terminals, and mass payment services appear. The fast-growing success of FinTech is also rooted in a better user experience achieved with help of robo-advisers, chatbots, and apps for financial planning, and money-saving. These attributes attract clients, and that is why bank institutions adopt FinTech brand-new ideas.

Banks as a part of financial technologies 

Despite the fact that approximately 1.7 billion people worldwide are unbanked, the existence of such institutions is essential. The very concept of a bank is changing. Over the years, it turned from brick-and-mortar into a well-functioning digital space. Thanks to the FinTech approach, it attracted more and more young-age users. Since customers are getting more easygoing with technologies, it is a necessity for banks to adopt new financial trends to compete for customers’ attention. The most common innovations for the banks are: 

▪ Cloud technologies and Big Data – with the help of cloud tech, institutions can centralize their network and provide services from any point of the world without installing additional applications. As for Big Data, with its collected info, banks can improve user experience and provide better-personalized offers.   

▪ Application Programming Interface (API) – enables applications to exchange data and functionality quickly and securely. The most illustrative example of such integration is a payment in the e-Commerce store. The customer only needs to enter their card details on the front end of the application and the API will create a unique token for this transaction. This means that the payment processor doesn’t require access to the user’s bank account, which prevents potential hacking threats. 

▪ Omnichannel banking – bank customers may interact with the institution as they like, with an application, website, in-face communication in the bank branch, or via a call center. Omnichannel allows gathering and synchronizing all the information to cover customers’ needs. For example, customers may start the transaction with one channel and finish it with a different one. Data is preserved and doesn’t require additional entering with the same request. All the actions like payments, loan applications, and card requests, can be done by mobile apps, tablets, and smartwatches fast and smoothly. An additional benefit of such omni-interaction is the integration of chatbots. With a little help from Big Data, they collect your request and provide you with better and personalized info. As a result, improved user experience leads to customer loyalty and better conversions. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – is a global trend nowadays, so its integration into payment systems is no longer a surprise. With the help of AI, banks can analyze their customer’s habits, payment activity, and operation history and suggest the best offers without interference or annoyance. Another benefit of AI is fraud detection. Intelligent algorithms can spot anomalies and suspicious activity in a matter of seconds. According to a Business Insider report, banks are projected to save $447 billion by using AI apps.
