The customer doesn’t wait for the bank to ask questions. They expect the answer to already be there. In an era where decisions are made in split seconds, and loyalty hinges on a single click, personalisation has ceased to be an add-on. It has become a prerequisite for survival and growth – in relationships with both individual and business clients. Mass banking is losing its relevance. Customers expect their bank to know them, understand them and anticipate their needs before they’re even expressed. That is why hyper-personalisation is now the new standard and the key to loyalty, effective sales and long-term competitive advantage.

In 2023, European debt collection firms handled receivables worth approximately €19.6 billion, with key markets such as Germany and the UK leading the sector.1 In Germany, debt collection agencies are estimated to manage over €50 billion in outstanding receivables, emphasising the scale of debt-related operational challenges in large European economies.2 The scale of the debt management challenge in the financial sector is growing rapidly, and with it, the pressure on banks to improve operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and data protection. In this context, automating enforcement order processes becomes not only a cost-optimisation tool, but also a critical component of risk mitigation and organisational resilience strategies.

Between 350,000 and 500,000 mortgage applications are submitted annually in Poland, which poses a huge challenge for banks – how to efficiently serve such a large number of customers while minimising operational costs and enhancing user experience. The modern customer expects a fast, intuitive and fully digital process, while many financial institutions are still struggling with outdated systems and complex procedures. In addition, competitive pressure and the development of technologies such as workflow engine, low-code, AI or Open Banking are making the digitisation of mortgage processes a necessity rather than an option.
