Financial Services is one of the top 10 industries investing in sensors for potential IoT innovation³

IoT Delivers Financial Results

Throughout the financial services industry, IoT enables more efficient, personalized goods and services. Through every touchpoint, be it via ATMs, asset trades or previous purchases, a wider variety of data will help financial services firms identify their clients’ business needs and get insights that help them drive customer engagement.

Use Cases

Enable automated payments from more connected devices, including wearables and TVs
Improve client retention with insights from a larger pool of transactional and customer data
Enhance insurance coverage with more accurate data from sensors in vehicles
Facilitate screenless banking, the next evolution in mobile banking⁴
Advance wealth management with a better understanding of client preferences

Protecting Data and Consumer Privacy

With Financial Services routinely ranking among the most highly targeted industries for cyberattacks⁵, security must be the first priority.

Beyond the collection of huge amounts of customer data, IoT will change workflows and workplaces too. Financial Services employees want the flexibility to work when and where they want—and from their device of choice. The hyperconnectivity that makes higher levels of productivity possible can also expose companies and customers to increased security issues. Organizations must provide the best possible data management, security and standards to protect customer privacy.
