Insights into the coming convergence of physical and digital consumer lifestyles

Over time, banks have improved customer satisfaction, simplified customer journeys, and increased the range of services they offer. The next stage for banks is to make the borders between the real and virtual truly invisible – setting the stage for the next evolution of digital services.

Cards that exist in both physical and digital form. Interactions that take place across channels without losing momentum. Transactions where payment requires no physical action. And authentication achieved by a glance at a camera or touch of a thumb. Apple recognizes you by your face, Amazon Stores by a palm vein, Mercedes by voice profile.
