Forrester: Mobile Banking Innovation Gap Widens In Australia Amidst Rising Customer Expectations

Leave a comment

Only two of the big four Australian banks, Westpac and CommBank, offer personalized features that proactively anticipate customer needs

SYDNEY, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) Digital Experience Review™: Australian Mobile Banking Apps report, 75% of Australian online adult banking customers have used their mobile banking app in the past month, up from 59% in 2022. Yet most customers who used their bank’s mobile app give it a Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) score of just OK, and only 63% agree that their bank offers mobile capabilities that meet their needs.

To gauge the ease and effectiveness of mobile banking experiences, Forrester evaluated the smartphone apps of the “big four” Australian banks: ANZ, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank), National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac.

Key findings from Forrester’s review include:

  • Westpac leads with innovative features. Westpac emerged as the leader for the second year in a row. The bank’s app excels in money movement and account management, introducing personalized features that keep customers informed about their budget usage and spending limits. CommBank stood out as a close second, offering automated savings capabilities that reduce the cognitive load on its customers.
  • Some Australian banks have made significant strides, but overall mobile banking has stalled. Only two of the four banks, Westpac and CommBank, introduced new, personalized features that anticipate customer needs over the past year. Weak spots include the use of customer context to offer actionable insights that help customers manage their money.
  • Customers’ expectations are rising. Australian banks do the basics well, but the gap between leaders and laggards is widening as customer expectations rise. Australian banks need to invest in industry best practices that are table stakes now — for example, customers’ ability to manage their accounts digitally, improving search to help customers find and make sense of their transactions, offering real-time contextual help to resolve critical issues, and leveraging emerging technologies to deliver improved experiences.

“Given the widespread use of mobile banking apps in Australia, banks should consider investing in features valued by their customers,” said Zhi-Ying Barry, principal analyst at Forrester. “While there are some bright spots, there is a huge opportunity for Australian banks to invest more in emerging technologies such as generative AI and conversational AI to anticipate their customers’ needs and offer more personalized financial advice and solutions.”

Forrester’s Digital Experience Review research, combined with results from its Banking Customer Experience Index Rankings, evaluates digital experiences delivered to consumers, helping business, marketing, and technology leaders understand the best practices and optimal digital experiences that drive growth and customer loyalty.

Vantiva Unveils ONYX, its latest Smart Media Device with Advanced AI Capabilities at IBC 2024

Leave a comment

This high-end Wi-Fi 6 enabled set-top box opens door for range of AI uses cases including event detection within video and image enhancement

PARIS, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader enabling NSPs to connect consumers worldwide, today introduced the ONYX 4K Ultra HD Android TV set-top box, the latest AI-enabled platform to be launched by Vantiva. Equipped with an extremely powerful 40K quad-core processor and featuring a 4 TOPS NPU, the ONYX STB is one of the first to incorporate innovative AI capabilities that open the door to numerous next-generation use cases including identifying and locating specific events in video (event detection within video) and image enhancement features such as sharpening (super resolution) or decreasing grain (advanced denoising). The ONYX will be demonstrated at IBC 2024 in Hall 1, Level 2, Balcony Suite 1.BS21, Rai, Amsterdam, Sept. 13 – 16.

“The expansion of AI technology into video delivery is driving further innovations and is set to completely transform the home entertainment sector,” said Leopold Diouf, Senior Vice President of the Product Division at Vantiva. “As the central hub of the home entertainment ecosystem, intelligent set-top boxes, like ONYX, play a crucial role in this AI revolution, enabling the integration of new added value services, such as predictive maintenance and enhanced security for NSPs and more personalized content for consumers. Furthermore, as ONYX supports HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby® Vision formats, end-users will be able to enjoy a more immersive video experience.”

With the latest, most efficient and highest-performing dual-band Wi-Fi 6 technology, the ONYX allows for video streaming over Wi-Fi with support for IPTV and Over-the-Top (OTT) services such as Netflix, Hulu and Disney Plus. This allows more flexibility and mobility in the placement of the STB. The ONYX is running on Android TV 14 software and is ready for RDK as the bootloader can support both standards. The device is equipped with a quad-core processor, a powerful NPU, Bluetooth 5.2 LE technology and supports the latest Video Codecs H.266/VVC. This makes it a future-proof platform for enhanced services and data analytics features.

The ONYX will have the option for Far Field Voice (FFV) control with up to four microphones. This enables the end-user to have a true ‘lie-back’ experience where they will only need their voice to search or control the volume without having to find and press a button on the remote control. FFV will effectively incorporate smart assistant features into the STB and complement AI functionality as Large Language Models continue to evolve. Vantiva has designed this platform with flexibility in mind so it can be configured to suit the requirements of operators.

The ONYX casing is designed with recycled plastics and uses a USB-C power connector to maximize the re-use of power supply units. Additionally, the Bluetooth 5.2 LE technology enhances audio quality and manages power consumption more effectively, resulting in longer battery life for Bluetooth devices.

Yealink MeetingBar A40, an Android-based all-in-one videoconferencing solution for premium small to medium rooms

Effortless Setup with One-Cable Simplicity

Say goodbye to the clutter of tangled cables and complex configurations. The MeetingBar A40 simplifies deployment with its innovative One-Cable Solution. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Single Cat5e Cable Connection: Connect a single Cat5e cable from the bar to the touch console to handle both power and network connectivity. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for additional cables, and automatic sync upon signing in ensures a hassle-free start.
  • All-in-One USB-C Cable: A single USB-C cable connects the touch console to your PC, managing 4K content sharing, BYOD, and power delivery. No more juggling HDMI cable, VCH cord, or PD charger—just one cable on the table for all your needs.

Elevating Hybrid Meeting Experiences

Hybrid meetings can often leave remote participants feeling disconnected from those who are attending in person. The MeetingBar A40 addresses this with its cutting-edge dual-camera system, powered by AI. The ultra-wide view ensures every participant is visible, while the IntelliFocus feature dynamically adjusts to active speakers. This ensures that all are seen and contributes to a more inclusive and engaging meeting.

Background noise can disrupt communication in hybrid settings, but the A40 tackles these challenges with its advanced AI-enhanced audio technology. Featuring an 8-MEMS beamforming microphone array, it captures voices from all directions with clarity. Coupled with a full-duplex audio and powerful stereo speakers, the A40 delivers an immersive, crystal-clear audio experience.

Future-Proof Security with Android

Running on Android 13 and integrated with the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), the MeetingBar A40 ensures robust security and future readiness. Features such as Secure Boot, Hardware Attestation, Microsoft PKI, and Secure Pairing provide comprehensive protection against potential threats, giving you peace of mind in every meeting.
