According to the “Digital Banking experience report 2022” survey, banks are committed to more personalization, security and environmental responsibility to face the challenge of their customers’ hyper-connection. This report, which is produced by the European leader in Tech “Sopra Steria” in partnership with “Ipsos” and “Forrester” and whose objective is to assess the digital maturity of banks around the world, also underlines that customers hyper-connected people aspire to more personalized services as well as the evolution of their banks towards more security, advice, digital services and environmental respect.
