According to S&P Global Market Intelligence study, the key factors influencing bank selection are as follows (respondents were given multiple choices):
- better mobile banking app experience (38.7%),
- enhanced customer service (37.9%),
- lower fees (30.5%),
- improved branch network in a given area (26.1%),

Considering the above aspects, banks should follow below listed options to stay competitive:

- Revamping their existing mobile banking app, among other things, to meet current market standards and deliver a more user-friendly experience.
- Incorporating low-code/no-code platforms to accelerate the application development process.
- Implementing virtual branches to their digital banking offer, which would improve customer service, address the problem of a lack of physical branches in certain areas, and provide customers with 24/7 access to bank accounts.

No-code tool for banking – Journey into the Future of Software Development
At Finanteq, we have created a solution, so that the banking industry can reap all the benefits that no-code provides. Unlike many other no-code/low-code tools available in the market, our – Extentum meet all unique industry requirements.
Extentum stands out as a specialized platform that allows extending existing banking applications. Its unique purpose is to seamlessly integrate with the bank’s current applications, whether it is iOS, Android, or web platforms. This makes Extentum an ideal choice for banks looking to enhance and expand their operating digital channels faster and without developers’ engagement.
Our tool simplifies the implementation of commonly used services in banks, using configurable business logic. With the no-code platform deployed to the bank’s remote channels, non-IT professionals, i.e. business analysts can easily and quickly introduce the new functionality without having to release a following version of the application.
Few example uses of Extentum:
- loan offer,
- applying for a mortgage,
- blocking a card,
- selling an insurance,
- offering a deposit based on data obtained from another bank.
Using a no-code platform saves time and money. Time, because, as mentioned, it allows faster production availability of functionalities that in the classic development model would be realized much later. Programmers do not have to be employed to code basic functionalities and their skills can be used mostly for challenging tasks. Moreover, the combination of these aspects results in significant cost savings.
Extentum is a perfect tool to support application development. To learn about its potential, make an appointment for a demo.
Virtual Branch – Support for primary customer needs
Not only excellent application does influence bank selection but also gains customers’ loyalty. The research cited in the introduction also showed three equally important areas for bank customers: better customer service, better branch network in their area and better opening hours.
The best and fastest solution to address those needs is a virtual branch embedded into the bank’s existing web and mobile applications.
At Finanteq, we have created Pocket Branch – a remote channel that allows bank customers to access the service 24/7 from anywhere.
Pocket Branch enables banks to achieve three goals: improve sales, provide better service, and assist their customers if needed. At Finanteq, we know that human contact is significant when decisions involve more complicated issues, such as investments or mortgages. The accessibility of a bank advisor via audio, video, or chat, without having to visit brick-and-mortar branch, can also be particularly appreciated by individuals with mobility challenges, hearing impairments, or other disabilities.
When creating digital banking, ensuring top-notch customer service through all available channels is vitally important. Creating our solutions, we aim to provide the best CX, which translates into achieving banks’ business goals, such as increasing sales, retaining and attracting users better than competitors.
