How will bank branches change over the next three years?
It’s a question constantly on our minds! So we wanted to find out and sponsored new research – The Branch Transformation for Financial Institutions survey – run by ATM Marketplace.
The study asked around 150 technology leaders within leading European and North American banks how advanced technology solutions are being adopted to maximise branch processes, sales and customer experience opportunities.
The results are now in, and we want to share them with you.
