Canadian lender Scotiabank has announced plans to implement digital innovation across all its customer touch points to boost operational efficiency.

In retail banking, the bank plans to adopt digitally-equipped branch models, which are currently piloting in Mexico, and will soon be piloted in Canada.

At the same time, it also wants to build a new business lending platform.

For the home market, the bank will invest $100m in technology upgrades in retail banking such as iPad tools and improved scanning and imaging. In Mexico, it will invest $185m in a new core banking system.

Plans are also on to accelerate and simplify onboarding process for mortgages, credit cards, day-to-day accounts, and small companies.

Further, it intends to connect wealth management services including investment advice and estate planning in Canada through a single digital platform.
