"INTERNET OF THINGS"- THE GAME CHANGER IN BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES

Abstract:

Internet of Things (IoT) provides customer data that helps banks to identify their customer's business needs and value chain, e.g., retailers, suppliers, and distributors. The data also lets the banks gain insights into customers. In the agricultural sector, farmers who are the bank's customers can gain solutions from the Internet of Things (IoT). For instance, banks are able to analyse agricultural output in addition to other crop farming conditions that allow the banks to estimate the crop output value. Based on the crop yield calculated through Internet of Things (IoT), the banks can provide flexibility based on expected yield, frequency, and crop performance, when it comes to financial terms. Such knowledge will help the farmer and the banker develop a stronger relationship. This article addresses the Internet of Things (IoT) as the main enabling factor of promising paradigm for integration and comprehensive aspects of several technologies for banking solution.
