A Trend to Watch: Branch Automation
As bank branches introduce more automation, they benefit by way of increased productivity and profitability. Furthermore, they enhance the total customer experience. ATMs have certainly been the most significant advancement in recent years, but the advent of the Interactive Teller Machine is creating new options for branch development and design.
This technology bridges the gap between convenience and the desire for human interaction by creating a portal through which customers can conduct transactions with a live, remote teller via video conference. Customers simply touch a screen, connect with a teller who is stationed at a central location, and make deposits, withdrawals, or even apply for a loan. Ultimately, this can allow banks and credit unions to:
- Increase hours of operation/customer access
- Reduce waiting times during busy branch hours
- Increase efficiencies by reducing overall teller staff and centralizing operations
- Reduce cost without sacrificing service
- Test the waters in new markets without investing in brick-and-mortar branches Read More.

The Word On ... Escheatment.
Escheatment. It's as hard to say as it is to spell. And it can be a significant challenge for financial institutions, as regulations and subsequent processes vary state to state.
Escheatment laws often apply to abandoned or delinquent bank security deposit boxes. Compliance can be both confusing and costly for banks, but missing state reporting and submission deadlines can translate to fines, penalties and the bigger headaches that come with bad press. It is therefore essential to secure a solid understanding of the rules in the state(s) in which a bank operates, and then institute a formal escheatment protocol that minimizes the negative impact on both the institution and its safe deposit box renters. BranchServ can help with both. Read More. |
