In the year 2023, the impact of the health crisis has accelerated a transformation that was already in the making, evidencing a transition towards the intensive use of digital financial services.<\/p>\n

The Drive for Financial Digitalization<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

While it is true that the pandemic acted as a catalyst, it is important to note that the adoption of digital channels was already on the rise. According to the EY Future Consumer Index study, 46% of respondents shifted their behavior toward digital, with 59% opting to use online banking services more than physical branches.<\/p>\n

This paradigm shift is not simply a temporary response to circumstances, but rather a sustained evolution that is here to stay. The Colombian financial consumer has demonstrated a predisposition to interact with financial institutions digitally, transforming the way they manage their accounts and conduct transactions.<\/p>\n

Concerns of the New Financial Consumer<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, this change is not without its challenges and concerns. Information security is at the heart of users’ concerns. Although the adoption of digital channels has increased, full trust has not yet been consolidated, evidencing a forced adoption with a degree of distrust.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the relationship between consumers and financial institutions has undergone transformations. The difficulty of accessing branches in person has affected trust, as consumers are forced to use impersonal communication channels, reducing the perceived quality of service.<\/p>\n

The Evolution of the Banking Customer Taxonomy<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The diversity of Colombian banking customer profiles has evolved. From the conservative who seeks direct contact, to the hyper-digitized who embraces the latest technologies, banking faces the task of satisfying the diverse needs of these segments.<\/p>\n
