• Predictive Analytics: Utilities
The utility industry has long struggled to mitigate leakage from water networks, with conventional methods failing to fix the problem. The application of high-level analytics, combined with extensive integration of various data sources, has enabled businesses to recognize leaks before they would usually be identified. Financial institutions can leverage their customer data to capitalize on the offer of predictive analytics to assist in the detection of fraud.
• Branch Banking: Logistics
Access to banking services with online banking is now more accessible for millions of people and in the process reduced the need for an extensive branch network. There are still many customers who want to use their local bank branch for face-to-face services. The efficient use of data can make it easier to decide which location is the best to provide these services.

Retail businesses have stayed at the forefront of using AI-enabled virtual agents and chatbots, with banks yet fully to embrace these solutions.
According to a report, IoT technologies in the banking sector are used mainly to monitor customers, to understand and engage them better.
