Do you remember how the financial organizations were working before the introduction of mobile devices? Operations in the financial industry were completely different when there were no mobile devices and applications available in the market. It was quite difficult for financial organization to build strong relationship with their customers and get instant feedback from them.
Customers can only get the information about their transactions only when they meet with executives of the enterprises. Due to information gap, customers are unable to know about their financial savings and schemes. Opening an account in the bank was not an easy task. To open an account in the bank, a big procedure was followed like a customer visit to the bank, fill the form for opening an account, and submit the required documents.
Sometimes, customers get the idea of the sort of documents that needs to be submitted only when they come to the bank premises or else they might have forgotten to bring those docs. This long procedure has been a just a waste of time for customers. Customers have to take out special time to access financial services. They have to go at specific locations to access these services. Organizations had to spend a lot of money to remain connected with their customers. Companies have to pay courier charges, printing charges etc., for their businesses. Apart from this, working style was lengthy and this leads to slow productivity. All the tasks were done manually. More paperwork was done. Lack of security and reliability of data was also a great concern there. These all problems were solved after the arrival of mobile devices (Mobility Solutions).

Mobile means no more waiting. Using mobile devices, customers save a lot of time and money. They can transfer their money into different bank accounts without going to the bank. They remain aware of the current balance available in their account. They can get alerts about new schemes and savings. They can also get immediate alerts about any transaction done from their bank accounts. They can make payments to anyone with the help of mobile devices. In short, customers remain updated with each and every activity related to their finance without going anywhere. Earlier, when a customer wants to do any bank operation, then he has to go to the specific bank in which he has his account, need to wait in line until his turn comes and also has to travel a lot as bank branches were available in limited areas. Now, the time has changed as the customer can operate in multiple banks from anywhere without travelling and waiting in the line. Mobility solutions are used to connect customers, employees, businesses, and machines.
With the Implementation of mobile technologies, enterprises have become more comfortable in communicating with their customers. They just used to dial the number of their customers or send SMS about their services to remain connected with their customers. Earlier, enterprises had to send their staff to the customer’s place to get their feedback, which was very time-consuming as well as expensive. Sometimes, it is also possible that staff gives wrong feedback to the enterprises or they are not trustworthy. This causes immense loss to the enterprises. In such scenarios, mobile devices are playing a greater role as it enables more secure and trustworthy transactions in the financial organizations.
