In this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast, Interview Series, host Shelly Kramer speaks with Marc Andrews, VP of Financial Services and Insurance at Pega, to discuss how banks are capitalizing on pandemic-fueled digital transformation to serve their customers.   This conversation is intended as a preview to Pega's upcoming Pegaworld iNspire virtual event being held on June 2, 2020, from 9 to 11:30am EDT. This high impact, low time commitment, interactive virtual event is free, sure to be packed with great information, and also available on demand for all registrants. Register for Pegaworld iNsprire here.   Shelly and Mark covered a wide range of topics, including:   The challenges banks face in servicing their customers as a result of the global pandemic, and how banks and financial institutions are capitalizing on digital transformation to improve almost every part of their operations;   The impact working remotely presents for banks and financial institutions when handling an increased volume of requests and a different kind of customer requests than what they are accustomed to and a myriad of other challenges;   The gaps or full on deficiencies in some organizations' digital capabilities and how the Band-Aid approach is out, and auditability, compliance, scalability, combined with the ability to shift resources as needed, is more important now than ever before.   The fact that despite the rise of FinTechs — who often offer slicker, more seamless digital experiences — this crisis might actually give banks the chance to recover and thrive and the factors that influence that;   What customers are looking for from their technology partners and what they seem to need the most;   The role intelligent automation can play in helping banks and financial institutions manage processes and cases from front to back and to be able to deliver those quickly.   Marc shared some interesting customer use case examples and some innovative approaches that Pega customers are taking spurred by the pandemic.   There is a new way forward in financial services, and banks can use technology to increase their level of service, create and deepen customer loyalty, streamline processes, increase efficiencies, meet compliance objectives, and more effectively compete in what is an increasingly crowded marketplace.   Check out the show recap of the interview I did with Pega's Don Schuerman discussing how the pandemic might well be a catalyst a lot of businesses needed. You'll find that here: The Pandemic is a Catalyst a Lot of Businesses Needed – It's Time for a Massive Rethink.

Like all industries, banking has faced huge disruptions due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. And although the challenges facing banks have led to many negative effects, there could be a silver lining as the pandemic moves companies closer to full digital transformations. According to Marc Andrews, VP of Financial Services and Insurance Strategy at Pega, many banks were working towards digital transformations before the pandemic hit, but they weren't all the way there. Banks were on digital transformation journeys to allow customers access through online channels, but none of the banks had completed those journeys. With new challenges and nearly everyone banking remotely, the gaps are now highlighted. Banks are faced with struggles from two sides: internally and externally. Internally, employees are forced to work remotely without protocols in place to scale security and efficiency. Internally, banks see the impacts of economic struggles and high unemployment as they face cash flow issues with many customers out of work and unable to make their loan and bill payments. As challenges grow and evolve, banks are having to quickly shift resources. Requests like fee waivers and small business loans are going through the roof, so much that banks are having to bring on new employees and shift things around internally to manage the flow. All while employees are working remotely in an industry that never expected to be able to work from home. With incomplete digital transformations, banks simply weren't prepared to handle the huge number of requests and didn't have tools in place to enable customers to bank without going into a branch. Andrews says most banks started by trying to manage the crisis with basic websites to capture customer requests. Those basic forms collected information, but the requests often had to be handled manually and created a huge backlog. Most banks are now moving to the second phase: business stabilization. By now they've largely figured how to have employees work from home and customers bank remotely and they're turning to partners to create more intelligent forms to capture customer requests and automate the responses. In Canada, one bank partnered with Pega to create an intelligent form to automate payment request from the government. Within the first three days, the bank automated more than 60,000 payments and allowed customers to make and track their loan concession requests. The digital system was much faster and more efficient than doing it manually. For many banks, the pandemic will act as a catalyst towards full digital transformation. Banks and their customers will see that they can't live without these technologies. Instead of focusing only on certain aspects of the digital transformation by offering digital tools just in certain areas, banks will realize how much they need to fully transform. They need to deliver end-to-end digital journeys that aren't specific to a single channel. Andrews says that in order to be successful, banks must build from the middle outwards instead of starting from the front end or the back end. A full digital transformation allows people to use any channel on the front end and any system on the back end. Digital transformation is the future of banking, perhaps now more than ever before. Our world is constantly changing, and banks that offer full digital journeys will be best set up for long-term success.

With Congress passing a new $480 billion round of funding, including $310 billion for PPP, banks are about to get deluged with new submissions from small businesses in dire need of money to help them survive the economic shutdown caused by Covid-19 pandemic. And the crush of submissions during the first round of PPP funding brought many of the banks to a standstill as much of the processing of those applications were done manually. In response to the current situation, Pegasystems - a leading platform provider for digital process automation, and business process management and CRM - developed the Crisis Small Business Lending app. The service is designed to help their banking customers speed up the PPP submission responses by automating different parts of the process. And earlier this week I had a chance to learn more about how automation could significantly speed up the PPP process by speaking with Marc Andrews, Vice President, Financial Services and Insurance Industry Market Leader for Pega.
