Absa Bank One Account: The African financial and banking landscape has changed profoundly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and digitalisation has been regarded as one of the key drivers in this process. The consumer has also evolved and has put convenience as a top factor to consider before joining a financial institution.
This has made banks across Africa focus their energy and investments on improving convenience for the customer. In fact, convenience is one of the things that has made online banking very popular because you can bank whenever you choose from and wherever you are as banking online has no business hours.
The African Digital Banking Transformation Report 2023 notes that many new African banks are seeking to attract as many customers as possible by offering online onboarding, balance checking, money transfers and payment options. Yet we are already seeing a large proportion focus heavily on expanding the range of services by offering loans, insurance and even investment products.
McKinsey also advises African banks wanting to develop their digital channels to focus on four areas: developing superior technical capabilities and functionalities for their digital channels; developing frictionless registration and recovery processes; driving awareness of digital channels benefits through effective campaigns tailored to specific microsegments of customers and adopting a pervasive approach to customer education and support across digital channels.
