Coronavirus threat: how can Bankingly help?

The World Health Organization has just declared a Global Pandemic and strongly recommended the use of mobile payment and online banking applications as a way to prevent the spread of this disease that is paralyzing the world.

In several European and Asian countries, the stoppage of activities is total. Financial institutions are prohibited from opening their doors, so those without digital channels will see a complete suspension of their ability to serve customers.

Hundreds of sport events, business and cultural activities have been cancelled in recent days. It is only a matter of days before this cycle reaches new levels, such as the closure of educational and financial institutions in other countries. The renowned private equity firm Sequoia Capital has warned that “companies must prepare for the worst” and that contingency plans must be very strong to cope with this situation.

In the specific case of financial institutions, the situation will be particularly difficult for those who do not have digital channels for two main reasons:

• If the institutions are forced to close their doors either by the authorities of by a lack of staff due to contagion, customers will not be able to operate and the activity will be paralyzed.
• A large portion of customers will switch to other financial institutions that do offer the possibility of online transactions In this context financial institutions that do not have digital channels face a critical situation.
