Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between omnichannel vs multichannel banking?

The omnichannel banking experience focuses on integrating multiple channels to create a seamless experience for customers. Multichannel means multiple channels, both online and offline but this approach doesn’t focus on integrating different channels. In essence, a multichannel approach is more channel centric while an omnichannel approach is customer centric.

What is the difference between omnichannel banking vs traditional banking?

Traditional banking offers face-to-face customer service and support through bank branches, while online banks may not even have a physical office. Omnichannel banking offers a middle way between traditional banking and online banking, offering the best of both worlds through a variety of channels that connects across platforms and devices.

Omnichannel banking improves customer centricity, allows customers to switch between channels and allows for real-time interactions.
