While business banking customers value personal interactions, they also demand personalized digital options for engaging with their bank, with 80% ready to switch for better digital propositions (McKinsey).
However building and maintaining separate applications for customers and employees of different segments poses a significant challenge for most banks. This difficulty arises as they grapple with inflexible legacy systems and limited development capacity to innovate.
