Virtual Banking: Engage Customers Where They Are

The past decade has seen a major shift in the digital makeup of banks both big and small. It’s no surprise that today’s current environment will dramatically change how banks go to market with consumers in a digital world.

Banks that will thrive in this environment are adopting business strategies that meet the demands of virtual consumers to provide them with services during and outside of banking hours.

Virtual Bank Versus Online Banking

Virtual banking combines the best aspects of self-service in mobile channels and direct “at the window” service. This is a new channel of communication with modern consumers who want the ability to contact a bank employee virtually through video, audio, and chat channels while maintaining a direct contact option.

This goes beyond the limits of typical online banking services like account information and mobile deposit.
