The Banking branch in the future
Atos opinion paper on resolving the conflict over the role of the physical bank branch in an increasingly digital world
It seems like a debate that has been raging for years. Does the bank branch have a future? If it does, what does that future look like? Especially in an increasingly digital world in which app-like convenience dominates our sense of customer satisfaction.

In this paper, Atos experts look to 5 emerging trends and the value of a new approach to the bank branch, by striking the right balance.
