How AI is Transforming Customer Acquisition and Engagement in Financial Services

In today’s fiercely competitive financial landscape, traditional approaches to customer acquisition and engagement are no longer enough. Financial institutions must deliver highly personalised experiences, optimise operations, and manage risk to stay ahead. Artificial intelligence (AI) is now at the heart of this transformation, enabling banks, superannuation funds, and wealth managers to exceed customer expectations while achieving operational excellence1.
