As digital-only banks gain popularity, they are rapidly transforming the way banking services are consumed and delivered. A number of financial services firms are also significantly experimenting with technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
A growing number of BFSI firms are now using cloud-based platforms for application deployment, as they become familiar with the advantages of cloud technologies. Due to the ease of use of digital payments, Indians have embraced them at an exponential pace and according to CLSA, digital payments in India will reach $1 trillion by 2026.
As customers increasingly turn to digital channels, it is imperative to step up investments in technologies, as the IT infrastructure must keep pace with the demands of the customers.
