Literature Review

With Covid19 disrupting jobs and income sources of millions of people, defaults from the retail sector and commercial sector are likely to soar. People are finding it difficult to repay existing loans and make new expenditure (Sengupta, April, 2020). Now with the Banking industry priority shifting from comfort and growth to stability and survival, creating a holistic customer experience and understanding the financial needs of consumers is even more critical. The business model of the banks has been challenged by three developments: low interest rates affecting the profitability of banks, increased regulatory requirements and compliance costs, and massive application of latest technologies (Elena Carletti, 2020).

Since banks play a very important role in the economic development of the entire country, the use of the latest technology to successfully implement strategies will not only create added value for one's own business, but also contribute to the economy and growth of the country. Banks must keep pace with the ever-increasing expectations of today's rapidly changing environment. Banking products have far surpassed traditional banking in India (Kurode, Jan 2018).
