~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “A November study by Accenture of more than 47,800 global banking customers, 2,000 of them Canadian, showed only 15 per cent had used bank video calls before Covid-19.
  • Now 46 per cent said they would use video calls when branches reopen and 35 per cent would prefer them to a face-to-face meeting.
  • Only 34 per cent of Canadians in its survey said they trust banks “a lot” to look after their long-term financial well-being, compared with 47 per cent two years ago.”

  • It wasn’t just “industrial tourism;” participants had various assignments throughout the five-month program and even participated in a hackathon to develop new apps.”

“One of the features that is currently being tested is an AI-powered balance predictor tool that would notify customers when they have upcoming bills, and then offer proactive tailored advice. “It uses intelligence to determine that the customer has an upcoming payment,” Imran Khan, the vice-president of digital customer experience at TD, told MobileSyrup.”
