Infosys makes banking easy for youth

BANGALORE, INDIA: Infosys, has announced the launch of the Finacle Youth Banking solution, a banking solution for young people. The digital banking solution, specially designed for young customers between the ages of 12 to 18, is aimed at making banking a fun experience.

This solution will give banks an opportunity to expand their millennial customer base, that is largely unbanked.

The features of the Finacle Youth Banking Solution are easy-to-use. Three simple steps –registration, collection of Know Your Customer (KYC) documents, and setting transaction limits are required to complete customer on boarding.

· Interactive features include ‘goals management’ for savings, ‘do transactions’ for payments, funds transfers and online shopping, and gamification for infotainment

· While the account holders will have the freedom to operate the account, transactions beyond preset limits will have to be approved by the guardian before completion

· Banks can deploy the solution seamlessly with Finacle suite of products or any other third-party or in-house developed applications

Michal Reh, senior vice president and global head, Finacle, Infosys, “Millennial and Generation Zs are valuable future customers and banking organizations are recognizing the need to engage this technology-charged demographic. With Finacle’s Youth Banking solution, banks can take a lead in engaging with these young customers for their financial needs and aspirations. Catching them young gives banks an opportunity to forge long-term relationships, which in turn will result in increased loyalty and a higher share of wallet.”
