AI+Banking=More Money
The range and complexity of financial products continues to grow. Banks are increasingly moving from a passive to a proactive relationship with customers and are looking for new ways to help them improve their financial well-being. Accordingly, data-driven personalization and customer engagement are becoming the battleground for financial institutions all over the world; so much so that its global market is worth approximately $15 billion. Personetics is addressing said market as it is focused on enabling proactive engagement for financial institutions–with its comprehensive platform, it simplifies and personalizes banking for consumers, enabling agility and differentiation with an agile delivery for quick business impact.
Personetics’ AI analyzes financial data in real-time to understand customer financial behaviour, anticipate customer needs and deliver a hyper-personalized experience. The technology enables banks to offer day-to-day insights, financial advice, and automated wellness programs to a mass market of customers, from retail banking, small business, wealth management and cardholders. They partner with financial institutions to re-invent financial services by integrating, automated intelligence into every customer interaction, creating significant business impact in months rather than years. Their goal is to have financial institutions play a more active role in their customers' banking to increase lifetime value and drive business impact. Ideally, Personetics, coupled with open banking and finance will reshape the financial services business model and accelerate engagement with customers.
