Acquire and retain customers with Salesforce

A solution for the cognitive era in banking

The banking and financial services market is one of the most complex industries with horizontal and vertical segmentation, with lending being the most dynamic. Several factors, such as the economic situation, fluctuating interest rate regimes, looming recession, and tough compliance mechanisms, shape the future of mortgage and lending. One trend that is already beginning to take shape is the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the lending process.

However, only 10% of CEOs see their bank as innovation leaders. The three main reasons for that are:

Limited customer visibility

Legacy lead tools and siloed systems cause a lack of visibility and insights into customers

Unorganized integration points

Isolated and non-scalable integration points make it impossible to derive meaningful customer insights.

Low customer satisfaction

Little to no automation, slow-moving process and high rate of departmental interdependencies cause low customer satisfaction and high dropouts

Despite these challenges, banks have an unprecedented opportunity to set themselves apart by powering the right mix of technology accountability and process simplification to create a digital-first customer-centric organization. Additionally, lower interest rates and the growing demand for finances from retail and business customers makes the current market situation ideal for banks to invest in lending technologies to meet the demand, increase revenue and stay competitive to attract new customers. Virtusa, a platinum Salesforce partner and a domain expert in BFS, will help banks to transform complex, slow-moving, document-heavy lending processes into a smoother, transparent, easy-to-track process with 360-degree real-time visibility.
