Automation of the credit business
The automation of processes in the credit business is a particularly topical issue. First movers are already realizing advantages through the automation of credit processes, such as
- financing commitments in the first contact (time-to-yes),
- considerably shorter processing times for applications (time-to-money),
- efficiencies through the automation of administrative activities,
- independence from fluctuating incoming orders thanks to scalability and increasing profitability
The integration of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning accelerates the exploitation of this potential and provides first movers with additional competitive advantages.
Sustainability: a strategic cross-cutting issue
Home loan and savings banks face the challenge of fulfilling ESG reporting obligations and integrating ESG risks into their management and reporting processes.
In addition, comprehensive service and product offerings are required to drive forward the climate transition in the residential building sector - for example by offering energy-efficient modernization or promoting ecological and energy-efficient construction and living.
The complex regulatory environment poses a considerable hurdle for the transformation within a company.
