• Innovations in BFSI sector - Architecting modern solutions for a sustainable, digital future

     



    Authored by Anand Ganapathy, Sr. Director and General Manager- Enterprise, Dell Technologies


    There is no denying that businesses across industries need to constantly upgrade and transform to stay relevant in an ever-changing world. But how are industries coping with today’s rapidly shifting customer behavior and technology evolution?


    Digital transformation is not a nascent concept in the Indian banking, financial services and insurance segments (BFSI). The sector has undergone an enormous transformation and continues to play an instrumental role in driving the country’s economy. The current digital disruption is an offshoot of scenarios such as the advent of new technologies, shifting behavioral patterns of today’s tech-savvy customers who demand rapid response and seamless journey across the touchpoints, enhanced financial awareness among the rural population, and of course the changing business landscape.

     

    An RBI study showed that the drop in cash circulation in the economy pre-vs-post demonetization was almost 3%. Simultaneously, the number of mobile banking payments went from 5.33 million in 2014 to 6200 million USD in 2019. The year 2020 accelerated the pace of digital transformation where banks had to re-think and re-innovate the existing services that were still reliant on physical contact, and we saw e-KYC and e-Credit cards emerging during this time.

     

    As per Jan Dhan Yojana, there are over 360 million active bank accounts in the economy1, i.e., 360.6 million accounts engaged in multiple online transactions across payment platforms. India recorded an 80% increase in online transactions in the year 2020, where tier 2 and tier 3 cities were significant contributors in this number2. The surge in the use of digital modes of payments is prominent. BHIM, Paytm and Google Pay have taken over a major portion of the Indian digital payments space.

     

    This scenario has made the sector re-evaluate its processes, and the current technology infrastructure to accelerate the services, while protecting the phishing scams and end users.

     

    So, the question is – Is the sector ready for this digitally savvy dynamic age?

    The answer is YES! With the right technology, they can not only manage, but also excel in the future. However, the two of the most daunting challenges are:

     

    ·         Rapid response and secure services: Today’s customers are informed and demand services that they can rely upon, while also prioritizing quick services and response. This is where rapid and customized service delivery becomes a prerequisite for the sector. 

     

    ·         Fraud and risk management: With the increasing online transactions there is also an increase in cyber frauds and phishing. This is where the sector needs to re-emerge its security protocols, emphasizing upon securing both internal and external stakeholders by leveraging robust and secure technologies and solutions.
