COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Platform Market
Due to distant working and social isolation, which have allowed digital banking to amass a sizable customer base, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in increased utilization of banking components. A turning point in digital transformation has been COVID-19 because financial institutions that made strategic and financial investments in the digitization process over the past ten years were better equipped to deal with these changes and the crisis.
The industry has previously experienced significant growth, but due to the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak and the increased demand for frictionless banking transactions, the market will experience even more growth in 2020. This expansion will be mostly fueled by shifting consumer behavior, as more individuals are turning to internet banking instead of visiting bank locations.
Due to several circumstances, including the increased use of electronic transactions during pandemic emergencies, and to enable stress-free banking activities, the deployment of a banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform would be extremely helpful during the COVID-19 period.
