London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/05/2021 -- Digital banking has made huge progress over the past year with widespread adoption driven partly by the need to adapt to pandemic conditions and partly by momentum already in play. It's become obvious to consumers and organisations alike that the advantages of digital banking are real and tangible. However, there are also some rather less positive trends emerging. One recent survey found that digital banking is causing the industry to lose its human touch. The survey, which was carried out by Cynergy Bank found that 68% of those who responded wanted to have more human interaction in their banking experience. More than half of SMEs felt that although digital banking had certainly resulted in cost savings for their enterprise, something had been lost in terms of customer service as a consequence. The results of the survey indicate that there is perhaps more thinking to do as the digital banking revolution continues to roll on.
