For the most part, financial institutions are meeting the needs of their mobile-savvy customers. But the question now becomes how banks and credit unions can differentiate their mobile banking apps to keep their customers and members engaged and provide them with an experience similar to using apps from Amazon, Starbucks and Uber, just to name a few.  As consumers demand more access to their favorite brands at all times, financial institutions are trying to oblige.

Nitin Chugh, Country Head-Digital Banking, HDFC Bank discusses the digital evolution of the bank and explains how it’s tapping into the startup ecosystem:

“HDFC Bank started its digital journey way back in 1999 with the launch of its internet banking platform. In 2000, we became the first bank in the country to launch mobile banking.

The only channel available at that time was SMS, so we launched SMS-based mobile banking as the first step.

Then in 2011 we took a major step in the area of mobile banking. We realised that the mobile phones available in the market were browser- friendly and allowed the users to browse the net conveniently enough. So we introduced the browser- based mobile banking.” By Sneha Jha on The Economic Times
