The charge of turning the cost compels banks to innovate
European banks move in a complex landscape characterized by economic opposite winds and cost pressures. The economy of the euro area will grow About 1.5 % in 2025It is modest compared to previous years. This will lead to tightening their operational efficiency. They are now using technology as a lowering cost and innovation.
Historically, banks have faced high cost pressures that were exacerbated by their old systems. According to the S& P Global classifications, the operational costs of European banks have increased more than that 4 % annually from 2021 to 2023Emphasize the need for effective cost management strategies. To improve costs, banks reduce the number of applications and investment in technology that enhance customer experiences while maintaining efficiency. For example, Deutsche Bank The operational efficiency plan aims to achieve $ 2.8 billion of savings by simplifying operations, among other ways. New technologies will allow banks to improve customer experience with cost efficiency.
Amnesty International as an incentive to innovate
Artificial intelligence appears as a pivotal tool for creating innovation and transferring costs within banking processes. Of course, it requires a preliminary investment. Spending on artificial intelligence will rise in banking services 21 billion dollars in 2023 to 85 billion dollars In 2030, a strategic commitment to this technology helps banks to increase efficiency and productivity quickly. Long -term possible gains due to Productivity improvements It estimates between 200 billion dollars to 340 billion dollars annually.
To increase the benefits of artificial intelligence, banks must adopt a practical strategy that includes the purchase of stakeholders and strong governance frameworks. This includes a commitment from the supervisory and executive councils to ensure the alignment of all stakeholders concerned and a well -loaded strategy.
In order for technology to be more effective, it requires a strong data basis. Once the data is placed, the banks start the nursery stage where the use cases are tested in a sand environment. This allows banks to jump using the bank’s artificial intelligence and size. Cases that enhance productivity are often used to enhance efficiency. For example, recover data from the annual reports of ESG purposes. Historically, this was a manual function, taking a long time, and boring is vulnerable to mistakes. Using obstetric artificial intelligence, the correct data can be extracted, and time can be transferred to minutes for scanning through multiple annual reports.
Another area in which artificial intelligence is applied in the call center. Historically, at the end of each call with a customer, customer service professionals had to write a summary of the call manually. Now, through gym, all these calls are automatically determined. This has an indirect effect on customer experience. Automatic inclusion can help to become customer service professionals 25 % more productive. For example, Ibn Amu Tennolic intelligence is used in its communication centers to automatically clarify customer calls and improve the productivity of customer service specialists. In another case, a job Chatbot has developed from artificial intelligence that provides customers in real time in a responsible way and guard. In the first seven weeks since publication, the bank helped 20 % of customers to avoid waiting time. HSBCThe World Bank works In more than 550 cases of Amnesty International, which includes money laundering processing, anti -fraud and the support of knowledge professionals using artificial intelligence tools.
The next Rung on the complex ladder is the building of sound robots and chat with the help of the artificial intelligence that can interact directly with customers. This helps reduce waiting times and solve customer inquiries faster, which leads to a high level of net promoter. This should be done by working with risk management and compliance with legal teams in a bank. Banks must adopt technology but in a good and compatible way.
Commitment to judgment
While the banks climb firmly with the complexity of the condition, the person must be in the ring. Strong judgment is crucial for the responsibility of artificial intelligence. Effective data governance protects the integrity of data, privacy and security and ensures compliance with laws and regulations. The governance of artificial intelligence requires supervision of human to ensure fairness, accuracy and compliance with the standards. This helps to enhance responsible and ethical decisions. The internal human approach ensures the active participation in developing and verifying the health of algorithms for accuracy and reliability.
2025 will see the adoption of independent factors
The ultimate goal of banks is to help customers to run transactions directly and automatically. While this was not yet, in 2025, this may change. Artificial intelligence will deeply be combined across the front, medium and rear offices to help customers. Banks will build artificial intelligence agents – advanced programs note their surroundings and process information and take independent measures to achieve specific goals. Many agents can organize complex workflow, solve problems, create and implement plans, and use different tools. Think about them as digital assistants. Each customer works to behave towards the target while making adaptive decisions. For example, in mortgages, AI immediately can analyze the customer’s financial registry and help the loan official expedite the movement. This helps to improve the productivity of all stakeholders – from the introduction to the rear office.
The conversation on artificial intelligence in financial services moves from noise to reality. Banks must go beyond the adoption of standard use cases to achieve the maximum benefit from artificial intelligence. They must re -perceive operations, convert operations, and turn into a unified data governance form – achieve a balance between central control with decentralized implementation. This approach makes the developmental development of artificial intelligence, allowing commercial units to customize data practices without sacrificing consistency. But the impact of artificial intelligence goes beyond that – it accelerates innovation, speeds up development, and moves consistency throughout the bank. With the transformation of artificial intelligence from a tool to an independent agent that makes decisions, it provides proactive visions and works within specific limits, banks must prepare their workforce for this new reality.
