Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already become an everyday part of our lives. We use it at work and at home – often without even realizing it.
As financial institutions look to enhance their customers’ online banking experience, a number of them are looking are blockchain technology as a way to accelerate the payment process and cross-border transfers. IDC forecasts that “applications surrounding complex, multi-party transactions or intermediaries demonstrate the largest benefits of implementing a blockchain solution.”
Currently, the implementation of mission-critical applications and cloud-based platforms to improve financial systems is fundamental for delivering fast, secure and efficient services in real time and offering better customer service with a direct connection to clients.
The Islamic (interest-free) model has encouraged innovation, both in terms of product offerings and business support. In a break from convention, Islamic banks aim to function as true financial partners for their clients, as opposed to taking on the old-fashioned role of bank as lender.
