Executive Summary

The digital initiatives of banks are intended to address the three C’s i.e. Customer, Convenience and Cost. Spurred by COVID-19, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that digitization is no more an ‘option’ but a core necessity re-shaping how banks deal with its customers. A lot of progress is being made by GCC banks on digital front. Investor presentations and annual reports of some banks have special mention about digital initiatives and strategies, which indicates that the race to digitization is heating up.

Digitization has paved way for the banks to launch end-to-end digital products like account opening, payment services and various other services. As banks embark on digitalization trend, it is essential to evaluate the digital features in terms of feature sophistication, business impact and integration with customer journey.

Websites, mobile apps are loaded with insights on end-users. Social media platform, increasingly used for customer reach outs, also provide a wealth of information on key metrics. Evaluation of these statistics could help banks take informed decisions on expanding their digital footprint.

Key Highlights

In GCC, when it comes to digitization not all banks are at the same stage of digital adoption. There’s a race to innovate, differentiate and outstand. In addition to vanilla analysis of website traffic, information on the source of this traffic, bounce rate etc. would help banks tailor their customer reach-outs better.

Many banks in GCC run very active social media campaigns promoting specific products and features. Intelligence can help a bank great deal by allowing to take stock of the new product/feature launches and inherent strategies of the competition.
