According to research conducted by Encompass Corporation, a tech firm, it has emerged that a large percentage of organizations have encountered bad customer support from their bank company.
In a survey of 200 businessmen in large and medium-sized businesses, 42 per cent had to wait over two weeks for a corporate loan offer, and 46 per cent had seen "major delays" in their banks' processes since lock-down began.
Among the respondents:
- 49% said that they have yet to receive offers of financial support due to the Covid-19 crisis
- 40% were dissatisfied with the low quality of the Bank's digital services
Although business transactions changed significantly during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is not surprising that many businesses need their banking provider for various types of support and services. Digital banking may have solutions because many of them are not satisfied with the digital services that their current Bank offers.
