<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/04/AI-Enabled-Personalized-Banking-2025-02.webp" alt="Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Banking" title="" width="100%" height="253">A few years ago, personalization in banking was more informal and largely based on human relationships, trust, and individual's banking history. The bank employees and managers personally knew their customers and tailored services based on their relationship with the bank. For instance, a long-term account holder, a senior citizen, or business owners/HNIs had privileges such as easier access to loans, priority in transaction processing, special interest rates on deposits/loans, and more.Today, personalization in banking is no longer a privilege but a norm. Consumers look for banking experiences that perfectly align with their unique needs and preferences. With the rise of fintechs and the adoption of AI, banks can now not only deliver hyper-personalized services but also do it at scale with far greater efficiency.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="k6ytubd2r" style="text-align: justify">What is personalized banking?</h2>Personalized banking refers to focusing on tailoring banking experiences and products to meet the unique needs and preferences of individual customers. In this approach, banks leverage digital banking platforms that use advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, to provide customized financial solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;By tailoring products and services to individual preferences, banks not only enhance customer satisfaction but also strengthen loyalty and deepen relationships. This shift toward hyper-personalized financial services is shaping a more dynamic, responsive, and customer-focused banking industry.<h2 class="heading-node" id="iabswxftf" style="text-align: justify">How is AI enabling personalized banking?</h2>AI-driven insights on customer interactions and spending patterns empower the banking sector, including retail, commercial, and investment banking, to offer engagement that closely mimics human intelligence and interaction. In short, AI has become the bank employee/manager, who deeply understands the customer’s relationship with the bank.&nbsp;From AI-powered chatbots providing 24/7 assistance to predictive models anticipating financial needs, here is how AI is transforming customer interactions and redefining the banking experience.<ol class="list-node" id="8hsrgc3fk"><li>Comprehensive customer insights</li></ol>AI systems analyze extensive data, including spending habits and credit consumption, to create detailed customer profiles. These insights enable banks to anticipate customer needs and offer proactive solutions. For example, AI can identify when a customer might benefit from a savings plan or suggest a loan precisely when it's needed.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="tkwqdjddo" start="2"><li>Customized financial guidance</li></ol>AI-powered robo-advisors provide tailored investment and savings strategies by assessing factors like income, expenses, and financial goals. Whether it’s guiding a young professional saving for their first home or assisting a retiree planning for estate management, these tools ensure personalized and relevant advice.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="xgrtnlbtn" start="3"><li>Tailored product offerings</li></ol>AI enables banks to align products such as loans, credit cards, and insurance policies with individual customer requirements. By analyzing real-time data, banks can recommend the most suitable products at the right time, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving higher conversion rates.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="luo3udso0" start="4"><li>Real-time customer engagement</li></ol>AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants redefine customer service by offering instant, personalized support. They address customer queries, recommend financial products, and provide timely reminders, alerts, and tips. These tools foster deeper engagement by ensuring customers feel valued and supported throughout their financial journey.&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="19uz9plru" start="5"><li>Enhanced fraud detection and security</li></ol>AI not only strengthens security but also integrates personalization into fraud prevention. By detecting anomalies in customer behavior, AI can identify suspicious activities and provide tailored security recommendations. This approach builds trust and ensures customers feel safe in their banking experience.<h2 class="heading-node" id="mm4tck3hj" style="text-align: justify">AI use cases in personalized banking</h2>The potential of AI in personalized banking is immense. The below use cases not only drive retention and reduce churn rates but also boost customer value, making AI a vital strategy for businesses seeking long-term success.<h3 class="heading-node" id="1vj7vqvhw" style="text-align: justify">Product recommendations&nbsp;</h3>Analyzing the individual’s financial data, such as transaction history, income, expenses, savings, and investment patterns, banks can create highly personalized promotional offers that reflect a customer’s profile and interactions.&nbsp;For instance, an individual who frequently travels may receive special offers for flight bookings, travel insurance, foreign exchange services, etc. In contrast, a young professional with a strong saving history could be recommended investment options tailored to first-time investors or promotional savings accounts featuring offers/incentives for purchasing new gadgets, software, or other tech-related items.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="kn99gldmy" style="text-align: justify">Personalized loan and credit offers&nbsp;</h3>Banks and lending institutions can tailor credit products based on an individual's cash flow, credit history, and purchase behavior. This allows timely, context-specific lending solutions with better approval rates and customer satisfaction.&nbsp;For example, a small business owner with recurring monthly deposits and regular GST filings may be offered a pre-approved working capital loan right before their peak sales season. On the other hand, a salaried millennial with consistent rideshare expenses might receive an offer for a two-wheeler loan with flexible EMIs and instant disbursement.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="3nllmp3av" style="text-align: justify">Intelligent customer onboarding&nbsp;</h3>By leveraging data-driven insights, financial institutions can personalize onboarding journeys by identifying user goals and delivering relevant content, features, and product walkthroughs. This builds trust from the first interaction and drives faster adoption.&nbsp;For instance, a first-time salary account holder might be welcomed with step-by-step onboarding for auto-debit setup, goal-based savings, and credit score tracking. Conversely, a freelancer/gig worker signing up via a partner app could receive tailored onboarding for digital wallets, low-cost insurance, and daily payout solutions, right from the first login session.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="ehbe68nyj" style="text-align: justify">Personalized financial coaching&nbsp;</h3>AI-driven financial coaching tools analyze income, expenses, and goals to deliver personalized insights, alerts, and planning assistance, helping users improve financial health over time.&nbsp;For example, a user who regularly pays credit card bills late might receive automated reminders, interest calculators, and nudges to set payment alerts. Meanwhile, a new parent whose expenses have shifted toward childcare, and health might receive tailored budgeting advice, tax-saving tips, and investment suggestions for planning their child’s education.<h2 class="heading-node" id="2x6iygzoh" style="text-align: justify">Future of personalized banking</h2>The future of banking is driven by deeper AI integration, bringing innovations like voice-enabled banking, AR-powered financial tools, and predictive wellness platforms. As AI advances, it will redefine customer expectations, enabling banks to offer precise, meaningful, and impactful financial experiences.&nbsp;However, AI adoption comes with challenges, including algorithmic bias, data security risks, and ethical concerns. To unlock its full potential, banks must prioritize data privacy, proactively collaborate with regulators, mitigate bias, and overcome strategic barriers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="ktvy866lc" style="text-align: justify">Personalized banking: the way forward</h2>To navigate through the complex landscape and fully harness AI’s potential, banks need a robust, AI-powered personalized and automated banking workflow built for adaptability, security, and seamless innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;M2P’s data intelligence platform is a prime example of how AI and machine learning can actively be used to deliver hyper-personalized financial solutions.<h2 class="heading-node" id="v5vxg7g6v" style="text-align: justify">Strengthen personalized banking with M2P’s Data Intelligence Platform</h2>M2P’s transactional banking data intelligence platform helps banks turn raw data into actionable insights using AI and machine learning.

Financial Institutions (FI) are substantially investing in upgrading their historical CBS in order to make banking services more accessible, flexible, customizable, and scalable.&nbsp;Nevertheless, how can FIs ensure that the modern Core Banking System is utilized to its full potential?&nbsp;&nbsp;The FIs should assure that their teams who use core systems, viz., customer interaction and support, finance, and product development, comprehend the key concepts of CBS and its modules.&nbsp;<h1 class="heading-node" id="ovran3p4j" style="text-align: left">Modules in Core Banking System&nbsp;</h1><a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/core-banking-essentials-types-components-advantages/">CBS</a> is built on a network of integrated modules, each of which serves a distinct role during financial transactions. These modules work together to ensure that banking operations run smoothly, delivering efficiency, accuracy, and security.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are the 7 modules that aid the FIs processes and facilitate day-to-day banking operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2024/01/CBS-img.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="292"><h2 class="heading-node" id="6r5e8ywyy" style="text-align: left">1. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Module</h2>Whenever a user opens a banking app, the CRM module greets them by name and provides personalized recommendations. The process exemplifies the essence of effective customer relationship management. Beyond just storing data, the CRM module enriches and customizes user interactions. During user logins, the CBS triggers its CRM module to present tailored experiences, such as targeted product offers, and to streamline interactions.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="yh0nslpgw" style="text-align: left">2. Payment Processing Module</h2>The Payment Processing module in a CBS ensures precise and efficient transaction management. It handles various payments, including local and internal transactions, manages unknown payments, and interfaces with back-office forms, correspondent accounts, and currency exchange modules. It verifies transactions, calculates fees, and records all financial movements that encompass deposits, withdrawals, fund transfers, and bill payments. This crucial component guarantees streamlined FI operations.<h2 class="heading-node" id="x1qxrh9r6" style="text-align: left">3. General Ledger Module</h2>The General Ledger (GL) Module operates as a centralized repository within the enterprise system, systematically recording all financial transactions. Its primary function is to maintain all accounting entities in balance and turnover. The module consolidates these balances across several logical levels, facilitating comprehensive informational and analytical reporting for effective financial management within the corporate world.<h2 class="heading-node" id="0fsat9uw8" style="text-align: left">4. LMS and LOS Module&nbsp;</h2>Loan Management System (LMS) automates and streamlines the whole loan process, from application to repayment, including customer information, propositions, and collections. It aids FIs in maintaining regulatory compliance by providing a centralized platform for creating, delivering, and tracking compliance training modules, ensuring all employees receive the necessary training, and generating detailed reports for auditing.&nbsp;Loan Origination System (LOS), on the other hand, processes and appraises loan applications. Employing workflow technology, LOS controls, and monitors loan processing to reduce delays and inefficiencies associated with paper documents. It covers the entire loan origination process, from application submission to fund disbursal or application decline.&nbsp;Both LMS and LOS optimize the loan lifecycle, automate lending processes, and provide tailored features that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, resulting in lower costs, higher efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction.<h2 class="heading-node" id="yrgcsqaki" style="text-align: left">5. Fraud Detection Module</h2>Fraud Detection Module benefits FIs by preventing illegal or destructive activities before they occur.

By integrating advanced real-time alerts, biometric authentication, and zero-trust principles, FIs can efficiently detect and mitigate fraudulent activities, thus bolstering stakeholder trust and compliance.<h2 class="heading-node" id="75ky2r0ne" style="text-align: left">6. Expense Management Module</h2>The Expense Management Module aids customers in methodically overseeing and controlling expenses, ensuring that budgets are not just created but strictly adhered to. Through systematic monitoring, the module ensures optimal utilization of financial resources for smarter financial decisions. It further optimizes reimbursement processes, reduces errors, and contributes to overall improvement.<h2 class="heading-node" id="o1r1nzx4h" style="text-align: left">7. Tax Module</h2>The Tax Module maintains financial integrity and manages taxes with automated precision, from income to corporate. This eases tax-related responsibilities for FIs and their customers. Integrating the tax module enhances efficiency in handling tax obligations, contributing to smarter, simpler, and more secure modern banking practices.&nbsp;All the core banking modules discussed above operate seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and secure banking experience.

They embraced digital transformation rapidly and implemented new technologies to offer customers a seamless banking experience.Banks had to ensure that their Debit Card Management Systems (DCMS) were equipped to handle personalization, security, and the surge in usage. They had to adopt measures such as fraud detection and prevention systems, real-time transaction monitoring, and enhanced security protocols to ensure the safety of customer data.But running a debit card operation can be a challenging task for banks. Pressure from evolving customer preferences, competition from contactless payment modes,&nbsp; and evolving regulatory changes severely affect the debit card landscape. Legacy banking systems are plagued by cost and effort bottlenecks that further impact the operational efficiency and profitability of banks.Solution: Next-gen Debit Card Management System&nbsp;To survive and thrive, banks need to modernize their core debit card infrastructure with futuristic, scalable, and innovation-friendly technology. Modern Debit Card Management Systems transform the way banks handle debit card operations. From super-quick transaction speed, personalized customer experiences, to enhanced security features and seamless integrations, modern debit card platforms are reshaping the way banks manage debit cards.Before going head-on into what DCMS is and how it can improve efficiency, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane.<h2 class="heading-node" id="o2c1947a5">Debit card, over the years</h2>Debit cards have always been a ubiquitous part of the digital financial ecosystem enabling inclusive access to everything from subsidies, disbursals, remittances, bill payments, and more. It is widely used for various transactions such as ATM withdrawals, POS purchases, and online payments.&nbsp; Factors like freedom from debt, convenient card-based payment features, and rewards in the form of cashback have driven the shift in customer behavior towards debit cards. The security, efficiency, and convenience offered by debit cards played a vital role in India’s journey toward a cashless economy.India's debit card journey started in the late 1980s with technological advancements. SBI Cash Plus card was launched in 1987, followed by Electronic Funds Transfer in 1994. INFS launched in 1997, and in 2000, RBI introduced two-factor authentication for online transactions. Two-factor authentication for online transactions using debit cards came in 2010. RuPay debit card was launched in 2014, and demonetization in 2016 boosted debit card usage.<h3 class="heading-node" id="2y29tx40t">Post 2020</h3>During and after the pandemic, <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/rise-of-wearables-in-payments-and-banking/">wearables</a> such as bracelets, rings, and watches linked to debit card accounts served as a safe, contactless way to transact. These wearables use <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/nfc-payments-simplifying-payment-space/">Near Field Communication</a> technology to process transactions in real-time, making payments quickly and easily.<h3 class="heading-node" id="kbveoma2c">Fast forward to 2023</h3>As of January 2023, there were over 945 million active debit cards in India. Industry experts predict that the usage of debit cards in the country will continue to grow, with an estimated increase of 84.6 million cards by 2028.Banks issue various <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/debit-card-issuance-101-all-you-need-to-know/">types of debit cards</a> based on the payment platform, technology, and usage. They offer banks an excellent opportunity to cater to diverse needs and expand their customer base.But, here comes a crucial question.Are banks using the right debit card stack?You’ll know if you continue reading.Traditional banks use legacy debit card management systems with limitations that inhibit the capability of the bank to innovate, scale, and grow. Here’s a quick look into the bottlenecks that hinder banks from delivering the best experience to customers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="yhwpo2fqf">Bottlenecks in legacy DCMS</h2><ul class="list-node" id="8q6zo3njp"><li>Scalability can be a significant issue since traditional systems are monolithic and difficult to scale horizontally.</li><li>Use of multiple vendors for different stages of the debit card management process leads to delays in the card issuance process and quality control issues.</li><li>High maintenance costs are a key problem faced while using a traditional DCMS, as they are complex and require additional resources and time-consuming operations.</li><li>Inflexibility of legacy systems causes delays in system upgrades and makes it challenging for banks to keep up with technological advancements.</li><li>Lack of integration between systems leads to delays, errors, and fraud.</li></ul>To overcome these bottlenecks, banks need to transition to modern and innovative DCMS, which provides optimal customer experience, increases competitiveness, and growth.<h2 class="heading-node" id="jtcuynv48">Traditional vs. Modern Debit Card Management System</h2><img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/banner-2.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="253">The traditional DCMS was limited in terms of personalization, accessibility, the application process, transaction limits, alert notification, and security.

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/MicrosoftTeams-image-7.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" id="6k7sbdy4b" width="100%" height="253">Banks are undergoing a significant transformation, with radical digitization leading the way.&nbsp; Experiential omnichannel banking is taking over transactional counterparts. Competition is intensifying, and margins are shrinking. Banks are under tremendous pressure to deliver personalized digital-first experiences while optimizing cost efficiency, operational excellence, and compliance.<h2 class="heading-node" id="0tgjyolbl" style="text-align: left">Need to modernize CORE</h2>Though Centralized Online Real-time Environment (CORE) Banking drives branch-agnostic transactions, banks still grapple with inefficiencies that negatively impact customer experience, operations, and revenue. Legacy infrastructures, rising consumer appetite for quick and seamless digital experiences, macroeconomic challenges, regulatory headwinds, and technological advances further contribute to the banking woes. &nbsp;As legacy banking infrastructures lack seamlessness, flexibility, and scalability, banks struggle to deploy financial technology to support innovative product releases, quick go-to-market speed, frequent modifications/upgrades, and regulatory compliance changes.To stay relevant and ahead of the curve, banks must modernize their digital core banking infrastructure. Modern API-based core banking provides a customer-centric next-gen platform that enables faster innovation and higher efficiency by overcoming the limitations of their current core architectures. The market size is growing at a steady 18.3% and is expected to reach $40.67 billion by 2029. In this blog, we will explore how banks can achieve cost and operational efficiencies by making the big shift from legacy to digital core banking solutions.<h2 class="heading-node" id="09q78gig6" style="text-align: left">Digital Transformation in Banks</h2>Digital transformation is more than just implementing new technology in the banking system. It involves a fundamental shift in how banks think, operate, and deliver customer value. The goal of digital transformation is to leverage platformization and technology to unlock speed and innovation and optimize cost and operations while managing security and resilience.In India, the central government has embarked on a journey of digital transformation with the aim of enhancing the banking experience, social security, and financial inclusion. This transformation involves a shift from legacy systems to digital core banking, enabling more efficient and accessible financial services for the masses.<h2 class="heading-node" id="z074t0cvy" style="text-align: left">Big shift: Legacy to Digital Core Banking &nbsp;</h2>Core banking has <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/future-of-core-banking-systems/">evolved in leaps and bounds</a>. What started out as a simple computerized banking system with monolithic codes and mainframes in the 70s has metamorphosed into low-code, API-first, cloud-agnostic platforms today. This platformization has been a key development for banks, as they transformed from being only a system to a holistic platform. In the contemporary landscape, core banking systems are intricately connected with cloud architectural models, representing a significant shift in the way banking operates. This transformation can be dissected into several crucial layers as shown in the below image.<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/Turing-CBS-Blog-V4-02-1.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="317">At the forefront, the interface/channel layer orchestrates seamless customer interactions, adapting to various digital touchpoints. Nestled within this framework is the concept of <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/banking-as-a-service-redefining-financial-services/">Banking as a Service (BaaS)</a>, allowing for modular, customizable financial services that meet the diverse needs of today's customers. Deeper still, we encounter the basic banking layers, the core components that manage essential banking functionalities. Supporting this entire structure is the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, providing the robust foundation for this dynamic ecosystem. The synergy of these layers with the cloud architectural model has catapulted core banking into a new era of flexibility, efficiency, and customer-centric innovation. Core banking platforms give banks the agility to scale and fully leverage the immense potential of the ongoing digital revolution to satisfy customers, employees, regulators, and partners.Legacy core banking systems are filled with silos, code rigidity, and complexities. Though traditional banks have automated financial processes and have newer distribution channels, the legacy banking system hinders their agility and flexibility to adapt to evolving factors like customer journeys and preferences, ecosystem changes, and vendor lock-ins. Additionally, they also result in higher maintenance costs, slower time to market, and do not support instant releases.Next-generation core banking platforms break down these barriers with modern, scalable, and open architectures using lightweight codes. They leverage APIs and advanced technologies to deliver simplicity, cost efficiency, speed, interoperability, flexibility, security, and future readiness. <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/core-banking-essentials-types-components-advantages/">Modern core banking</a> systems play a crucial role in accelerating digital transformation for banks, enabling them to deliver a secure and superior banking experience to their customers. In the core banking stack, the customer's front-end layer acts as a link between the bank and its clients.<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/m2p-website-file/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2023/05/Turing-CBS-Blog-V5_1-1.webp" alt="M2P Fintech" title="" width="100%" height="317">It includes the Customer Data Ledger, for secure customer information management, and the Loan Module for seamless lending. The Third-Party Module integrates specialized offerings whereas the user-friendly Front-End App facilitates transactions and portfolio management. The Payment Module streamlines transactions with multiple options and the Third-Party Front-End App connects users to external financial services. This setup prioritizes customer needs, data security, and convenience. By leveraging advanced technology, these systems optimize costs and operational efficiencies, creating a seamless flow of operations that benefits both the bank and its customers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="71ojb1j4t" style="text-align: left">Optimizing cost and operational efficiencies</h2>To keep costs in check, banks need to prepare to take on uncertainties by enhancing operational and cost efficiencies. The first step is to optimize costs associated with maintenance and processing. Modernizing core banking systems reduces costs associated with core applications and hardware processing by consolidating siloed applications. The process cuts down maintenance costs which are usually high for legacy systems.Digital core banking systems drive operational efficiency by standardizing business processes, eliminating manual operations, and implementing straight-through processing capabilities. It also assists smooth outsourcing of non-core operations and allows the operational proficiencies to focus on critical core tasks. By modernizing the core, banks can standardize and streamline end-to-end business processes, improve regulatory compliance, and expedite go-to-market speed for new products. They can seamlessly replace the siloed product-centric legacy system with a next-gen, customer-centric, and hyper-personalized core banking system.<h2 class="heading-node" id="0zuyzy83r" style="text-align: left">Further benefits</h2>Core banking solutions offer a comprehensive platform for banks to gain accurate insights into their accounts. They provide a range of capabilities that include customer onboarding, customer relationship management, account opening, loan origination workflow, credit analysis, deposit accounts, instant reporting, and enterprise content management. The end-to-end platform spans across business lines and enables banks to streamline operations and efficiently manage their accounts from a single system. Some of the key benefits of next-gen digital core banking systems include the following.<ul class="list-node" id="2kmgmrqf0"><li>Simplicity in scaling up</li><li>Agile enough to accelerate new product launches</li><li>Incredible go-to-market speed</li><li>Onboarding and setting up in just a few clicks</li><li>Advanced security systems for data storage and fraud prevention management</li><li>Centralized access to account aggregators, mobile and third-party applications</li></ul><h2 class="heading-node" id="ofb7492tb" style="text-align: left">Turing Core Banking Solution (CBS)</h2>Striking the right balance between high-quality services, operational excellence, compliance, and cost optimization is Turing, our core banking solution that’s revolutionizing the banking industry.Turing is a cutting-edge core banking platform that deploys a state-of-the-art tech stack and micro-services architecture with licensed and open-source platform compatibility.

Banks can launch new products with minimum effort by leveraging pre-built modules and components, allowing them to stay ahead of the competition.<h2 class="heading-node" id="eq93as9f1" style="text-align: left">Innovation and inclusion</h2>Although digital payment methods made transactions convenient, there were cases where senior citizens, underprivileged communities, and non-tech-savvy people encountered difficulties in banking. This was primarily due to the lack of smartphones, payment cards, and the inability to remember passcodes or PINs.To ensure digital financial services are accessible to all, Turing supports the Aadhaar-enabled Payment Systems (AePS).Aadhaar Enabled Payment System has the potential to revolutionize digital financial services in India by providing universal access to financial services. This system allows individuals to conduct financial transactions using their Aadhaar ID and biometric authentication, thus eliminating the need for a smartphone or payment card and to remember passcodes or PINs.<h2 class="heading-node" id="7odd7zpxu" style="text-align: left">What is Aadhaar-enabled Payment System?</h2>AePS is a unique payment system that allows anyone with an Aadhaar-enabled bank account to access online transactions via micro-ATM, kiosks, or mobile devices using Aadhaar authentication. With this system, users need not visit a bank branch to deposit cash, transfer money, and withdraw funds from their bank account without using a smartphone, payment card, or any other document.To know more about Aadhaar Enabled Payment System, <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/revolutionizing-financial-inclusion-aadhaar-enabled-payment-system-aeps/">click here.</a><h2 class="heading-node" id="b6sj0yjdt" style="text-align: left">AePS implementation - Gayatri Bank</h2>We deployed Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS) for Gayatri Bank, a cooperative urban bank in Telangana that offers economic support and hassle-free digitized financial services to underbanked and unbanked populations in India.<h2 class="heading-node" id="p87o5froi" style="text-align: left">Pain points&nbsp;</h2>At Gayatri Bank, most transactions involved senior citizens, and less tech-savvy customers from remote unbanked corners. For them possessing a smartphone or remembering PINs is a huge challenge. Thus, they were not able to access digital banking services.Gayatri bank needed assistance in fixing this problem and facilitating hassle-free financial access to people across all parts of society. Another major challenge was the cost involved in opening new branches and ATMs and issuing cheque books, cards and managing the KYC process. In underbanked rural areas, getting KYC documents in order and enabling efficient usage of branches and ATM machines is still a struggle for banks as well as customers.<h2 class="heading-node" id="shoqo5hhz" style="text-align: left">How we resolved challenges and future-proofed transactions?&nbsp;</h2>We understood that Gayatri Bank required a fintech partner to enable AEPS implementation and manage UIDAI authentication across their branches and business correspondent network in India. This was a strategic, futuristic move for Gayatri Bank to drive inclusion, electronify retail payments, achieve interoperability, reach more customers, and cut costs.We powered the AePS switch and helped customers use their Aadhaar number and fingerprint as an identity to perform the following transactions via business correspondents.<ul class="list-node" id="v912ticfi"><li>Cash deposits</li><li>Cash withdrawals</li><li>Intrabank or interbank fund transfers</li><li>Balance enquiries</li><li>Mini statement printing</li></ul>We securely routed Aadhaar-initiated interbank transactions via central switching and clearing agency and enabled disbursements of Government entitlements under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), social security pensions, and handicapped old age pension schemes.Gayatri Bank was able to cut costs by engaging with business correspondent agents to facilitate Aadhaar-enabled transactions instead of investing in new branches, ATMs, cheque book, and cards. These agents increase the penetration of financial services, as anyone is able to visit them to get transactions done with just an Aadhaar number and biometric identification.In a nutshell, we built a solid foundation for Gayatri Bank to run a full-fledged Aadhaar Enabled Banking Service across India.<h2 class="heading-node" id="p7zw9m1jc" style="text-align: left">Results achieved</h2>On the very first day of AePS going live, over 500 business correspondents were onboarded from remote locations. Gayatri Bank experienced a significant boost in revenue and transaction volumes, as they were able to service more customers with greater convenience without incurring the costs of opening bank branches or ATM machines.Gayatri Bank was able to deliver the following benefits to customers.<ul class="list-node" id="jdlfreaa5"><li>Facilitated secure transactions using UIDAI biometric authentication</li><li>Delivered 6X improvement in transaction efficiency</li><li>Cut down execution time by 1/5th of the usual timing</li><li>Financially empowered senior citizens and the differently abled</li><li>Eliminated the need to carry smartphones or cards</li><li>Abolished the need to remember passcodes, PINs, or CVV numbers</li><li>Enabled secure transactions at remote locations without bank branches or ATMs</li></ul>Want to know more about future-proofing your banking operations?Fill in this form, <a class="link" href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ifAFNAS-IkODQGVQ8t7uCirHU8VuF0lOoEkDdSuTc_NUM1pGMEVOR1pPNFMwNUZRNk8yR1RBSDQ1Qy4u">click here</a>.Or you can write to us at <a class="link" href="mailto:business@m2pfintech.com">business@m2pfintech.com</a>.
