Looking at the constant need to provide a delightful digital banking experience, there is a need to always keep providing apart from the basic functionality within the digital banking app. Oleg Patsianksy, Head of Digital Banking at BPC gives more insights on the features updated in the app.

A Unified Banking Platform

The digital banking app provides a medium for emerging markets that acts as a platform between consumers and merchants, creating an agent banking experience for the underbanked and underserved population. The merchant app and the agent banking could be combined to make one wholesome application which would comprise all features such as client onboarding, cash-in/cash-out, QR code payments, transaction reports, and much more.

Different UX Types

The app's look and feel can be customised as per the customer's preference; which means the content on the home screen can be placed as per the user's choice. The app can work in the form of a multi-role app (several users in one app) or a business app.

Tiered KYC and Wallet

The app supports different flows in terms of customer enrolment depending on the number of documents provided. The app is capable of recognising the initial standard documents required for opening an account. If no documents are provided, then the user is entitled to a simplified wallet that will let him transact and make payments, while providing him a cash-in/cash-out capability with card linking.

Super App

It is a type of application that allows for easy extensibility for third parties directly to the app. This capability allows external applications such as entertainment, news, marketplaces, etc. and place them wherever desired. This does not require republishing and is an easy functionality for cross-selling and reselling.

Personalised Marketing

One of the most important functions in today's time as this means providing a personal experience to every user. It comprises 100% visual configurations and customer communication channel management which means various marketplaces can target the users who have browsed through it without making a purchase.

Expenses, Income and Goals Management

The app also helps users in managing their expenses and breaking down their income. This can be done through various visual representations such as donuts, bars, and bubbles. Limits and alerts can be set for saving and spending monthly income with an option of setting a desired limit as their saving goals.

Using Different Accounts

The app can add external accounts and provides linking, verification, and direct debits. For overdraft accounts, it is possible to instantly open an account and also use it for transactions at the same time.

Chatbots and Virtual Assistant

The Chabots provide 100% user configuration and can be easily paired with Siri, Google Assistant, and the latest addition, Alan. The bots are capable of providing a step by step guidance for transactions, providing full assistance to the uninformed population.

QR Payments

We support more than simple QR code payments and they are available in customer and merchant apps. Recently, instant payment capability was integrated within the app and contains QR for C2B transactions.

Disputes and Installments

 In terms of a dispute in transactions, the app provides a dispute reason selection and the user is also eligible to write an optional message to the concerned bank. For installments, the app is eligible to immediately provide the user with an installment plan and process an application request.
