Do you remember when banks used to know their customers by name?

Do you remember when banks used to know their customers by name? Not just as yet another transaction number? The banking industry has surely come a long way in the digital era. But have we lost that personal touch in all the technological advancements?
My belief is that, while technology has brought efficiency and speed, it shouldn't replace the human element completely. There’s something intangibly valuable about personal interaction — a deep understanding of the customer's needs that no AI can yet fully grasp.
Therefore, while I support and advocate for the digitization of financial services, we should strive for an optimal mix of personal touch and technological advances. There's no denying that technology is reshaping banking but let's use it to enhance customer experience rather than replacing human connection altogether.
At the end of the day, banking isn't solely about transactions – it's about relationships.
💡 Let’s stop just collecting data. Let’s start making it work for us. Let’s transform banking, together. 💡
