2023 TRENDS CITED BY BEYOND THE ARC

CX and Financial Wellness

• Real-time payments will become a lever for improving financial wellness
• Focus on financial health will drive new business models

"Rising interest rates, and the subsequent fallout, are going to batter consumers. FIs will need to do more to help protect their customers' financial health." -Steven Ramirez, CEO

"In a tough economy, both consumers and businesses grow edgy about cashflow. Real-time payments offer new control to pay bills at the last minute, and enable struggling businesses to get paid faster. Integrating services like RTP® and FedNow^SM will quickly become essential to any FI's CX strategy." -Gavin James, CX strategist

Payments

• Credit unions will use FedNow to attract younger members
• Embedded payments will drive growth in business super-apps

Many credit unions (CUs) face the challenge of an aging member base and difficulty attracting younger generations.

"Credit unions have appealing qualities for Gen-Z (membership-owned, focus on community, lower fees), and offering instant payments could be the key to winning them over." – Michelle Espinoza, Designer

AI and Machine Learning

• AI/ML and NLP will become critical in a cookieless world
• AI and NLP will gain traction for backoffice automation
• AI image processing will continue to transform applications and CX

The recent hype has been about using AI to generate text, but AI can also process a picture and automatically recognize problems.

"Images can include products and objects, but also problems. AI image processing will increasingly learn to capture the relevant details from visuals to solve issues and answer requests." – Bruce Johnson, Data Scientist
