The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated Africa’s need to transform and adapt self-service banking to meet consumer needs, with smart ATMs playing an essential role.
Globally, 2020 saw rapid and unprecedented changes in the banking sector. Lockdowns, calls for social distancing, and a demand for online banking solutions forced banks and financial services to quickly adapt and restructure their offerings to meet changing customer behaviour and needs, putting the focus on more robust and efficient self-service banking options.
