In this era of technological advances and ever-changing consumer preferences, digital banks are essential to adapting to changes in consumer behavior. The contemporary financial landscape has undergone tremendous transformation. Digital banking platforms are strategically aligning themselves with changing customer needs and expectations. This evolution reflects an industry-wide commitment to not only embrace digitalization but also to deeply understand the behavior and preferences of today’s tech-savvy consumers.

These figures highlight a paradigm shift at BCA, which has traditionally been seen as serving mostly individuals over 40. Tiurma underlined the importance of adapting to the ever-evolving digital world while maintaining a human touch.
“Understanding consumer behavior is not just about accepting digitalization but also encouraging a humane approach,” said Tiurma. He emphasized the importance of events, collaboration, surveys, push notifications, and direct consumer engagement to understand customer desires effectively.
Meanwhile, Andreanus Setiawan, Senior AVP Growth & Acquisition PT Bank Digital BCA (blu by BCA Digital), highlighted the dynamics of changes in the digital era in the banking industry.
