Sharpen Your Competitive Edge by Marrying the Mobile Bank & Virtual Branch

Banks and credit unions struggle to establish and maintain a competitive advantage in
today’s accelerated financial marketplace. New digital banks are being introduced every
day and customer demand for more resources, available 24/7, is suffocating. How can
your financial institution stay ahead in an industry that is continuously innovating?
Simple. Follow these steps to the smart transformation competitive edge you are
searching for:

 

Step 1: Mobile Banking

Mobile banking is the first step to mobilizing your branch and empowering your
customers and employees. Mobile banking delivers the self-service eBanking customers
demand with access to branch services at any time, from anywhere. Customers living in
the mobile-first age want to be able to do their banking on their own schedule,
regardless of branch hours. Mobile banking also caters to the non-9 to 5 clients that
aren’t able to adapt to traditional banking hours as well as tech-savvy Millennials.

Not only is mobile banking a good means to satisfy customer demand, it also reduces
operational costs as there is less reliance on your physical branch and customer service
staff.

Mobilearth’s mobile banking solution, MobiBank, makes traditional branch services
available at your customers’ fingertips (literally), by allowing them to do their banking
via their mobile device or computer.

 

Step 2: Virtual Branch Banking

The virtual branch is how you really break free from location, branch hours and resource
constraints. You’re opening yourself to the opportunity of offering banking to those
formerly out of reach customers who can’t make it to the branch during regular
business hours (i.e. shift workers, trade workers, etc.), or those who simply aren’t
interested in going to the bank (i.e. Millennials). With a virtual branch, you can meet
your customers wherever they may be by bringing the bank to them. This allows you to
provide your normal banking services to all of your customers without alienating the
non-traditional customers.
