The technological innovations that will be impacting the future of e-banking industry are increasing every day. This is more precisely due to the demand in the banking sector. Ironically, how that demand has reshaped the future of e-banking not only in Canada, but at a globalised level.
Naturally, the inclinations are more towards technology and its involvement for a sustainable financial future. E-banking and online payments are just very common these days. On top of this, they are old examples of the contributions made by technology in the banking and finance sector. The future technologies according to the experts will be more customer oriented. Add on to this, more efficient in terms of the operations. On top of them being efficient, it shall also prove to be more targeted. Hence, being secure and intelligent solutions is a must in any case. While we acknowledge technology as the key driving force in the near future. There are more organisations that will take the help of technological innovations to redefine themselves to be more competitive. Hence, as well as being more responsive to the marketing needs.
Artificial intelligence or AI has a lot to contribute towards the technological aspects that are associated with the banking sector. This is a significantly unique way in which the banking industry is encountering transformations on a daily basis. Thus, the motive is being competitive and being user-friendly. Apart from this, being secure in terms of the financial security aspects.
Here are short descriptions of some of the technological innovations involved for a better and more transparent understanding;
-
ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA):
The Robotic Process Automation as the name suggests is a clear indication of the involvement of Robotics . This is especially for the usage of the financial services. The RPA across the financial services has not only helped the banks. But, the credit unions as well to accelerate growth by the execution of the pre-programmed rules across a wide range of data. This clustered data is broken down in two sets of data. That is, either structured or non-structured data.
This importantly is an intelligent automation that provides the processes the power to develop e-learning from prior decisions automatically by themselves. Also, involved are the data patterns that are used for automated decision making. This significantly is a huge way in which many costs are substantially reduced. That is, the administrative and the regulatory costs. At the same time brings massive improvements in the quality and the speed of the operations.
RPA, plays a big role in the banking industry that is grooming technology-wise on a daily basis. It also simplifies the procedures of compliance which is mandatory. Hence, by keeping a detailed logs of automated processes. Also, automatically generates the reports that are needed by the auditors in the banking industry. Furthermore, helps eliminate the human errors, that are a common mistake. Through RPA or Robotic Process Automation apart from many advantages listed above. Ironically, the processes of tweaking that helps in fitting new or updated regulations is never a difficulty.

THE USE OF ‘AI’ OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
The AI or Artificial Intelligence is everywhere with its applications in film industry, television (media), and sports. This is apart from its massive and vital significance in banking and finance. However, its benefits in the banks and credit unions are far more and widespread. These are benefits in back office operations, compliance procedures, customer service and risk management. Apart from these, product delivery and marketing operations being some of the few and important ones.
The drawbacks for the firms not opting for AI are also plenty in terms of costs and unexpected expenses. These are challenges such as fear of failure, and regulatory compliance as the most common issues arising. However, the challenges rising in the banking industry due to the lack of AI is the absence of people experienced in data collection. Secondly, in the analysis and application and the existence of data silos. However, what’s the good part is that many data firms enjoy the capability of a procedure known as ‘workaround’. Alternatively, the collection of data from the organisation.

INSTANT & FAST PAYMENTS:
Payments that are made faster and according to the laws of timeliness are the most preferred ones. This is especially true in the banking sector worldwide. The role of technology has been phenomenal in this regards. Hence, bringing new and improved advantages for the consumers in the consumer banking industry.
The instant payment options are available in many markets despite the lack of immediate payment infrastructures. In many countries the banks partner together for the sake of offering an immediate P2P payment experience. This is with mammoth significance to a wider customer base. With the use of instant payments the frequency of transactions will be far more higher. Hence, in other words more transactions will be made digitally instead of cash. Obviously, making the payments more user friendly and fast in terms of the timings.
