FEATURING: Jeff Klump, President of K4 Architecture + Design

To differentiate product and service offerings going forward, legacy financial institutions must focus on building a distribution network that combines the qualities of human interaction with the power of new technologies.

The design and utilization of physical branch spaces must also be rethought for a future where the efficiency and effectiveness of branches must be maximized.

Our guest on the Banking Transformed podcast is Jeff Klump, President of K4 Architecture + Design. We discuss the transformation of branch banking in an increasingly digital world and how to differentiate the branch experience.
