McKinsey and Company believes that far from rendering the branch obsolete, digital technology holds the key to the branch of the future. They state that smart-branch transformation builds on three pillars:

  1. the seamless integration of cutting-edge branch technology, which has become cheaper, more reliable, and more accessible;
  2. the adoption of radically new, teller- and desk-free branch formats at every location;
  3. the use of digital technology and advanced analytics to improve the operating model in branches, including personalized, data-driven sales and real-time performance management and skill development
