Since the advent of COVID-19, individuals and businesses are rapidly adopting the use of technology to confront the challenges and risks posed by the pandemic to remain afloat and continue to serve their customers.
During the release of the 2021 third-quarter results, Equity Group Managing Director and CEO, Dr. James Mwangi said “COVID has acted as a tail wind to the adoption of digital banking making us transform into a Big Tech in the financial services sector. The Group is increasingly shifting from its legacy brick and mortar model of branches and ATMs to self-service model of client’s own electronic devices or third-party infrastructure as more customers opting for cashless transactions.”
The Bank has rolled out its upgraded Equity Mobile App (available on Play Store: http://bit.ly/EquitymobileAndroid & App Store: http://bit.ly/EquityMobileIOS) and online banking platform Equity Online (https://equityonline.equitygroupholdings.com/en/access/login), previously known as EazzyNet, to provide a seamless customer experience across all banking channels.
Customers can send money, transfer funds, borrow loans, print statements among many other services at the comfort of their mobile phones, laptops, desktops etc at home, office or anywhere.
Advancements in technology continue to transform the banking sector and Equity has leveraged on this to give customers choice and freedom to access and operate their accounts.
This has progressively led to consumers preferring to carry out most of their transactions digitally as opposed to going to the branches.
According to the recently – released 2021 Q3 results, out of the 975.1 million transactions processed for the 9 months in the year.
Only 30.1 million transactions or 3 percent of all transactions were handled by branches and ATMs with the digital bank handling and processing 945 million transactions or 97 percent of all the transactions with the self-service customers’ own device mobile channel handling and processing 90 percent of digital transactions.
