However, experience gained in a bank provides a perspective of customers\u2019 expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, people tend to take you more seriously if you have a <\/span><b>business degree<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or qualification. Many banks appreciate work experience but will ignore your resume if you do not have a business qualification. They also want you to be able to solve problems, and to be empathetic to customers. And pursuing a business qualification also gives you an opportunity to network with peers in class, which can help in landing a job and succeeding in it due to the unique perspectives shared in class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/higher-certificate-in-business-management-in-credit-banking\/\"><b>Keeping up with changing trends in banking<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa\u2019s financial sector has made marked improvements in getting people to open bank accounts, with more than 40-million people now holding accounts \u2013 up 30 percentage points from 54% of the population in 2011 to 84% in 2021 (Claassen, 2022). Many of these are mobile money accounts, following a pattern similar to those observed in Brazil, Ghana and Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston Consulting Group\u2019s MD, Tijsbert Creemer, in a report published with Discovery Bank CEO Hylton Kallner (2022), predicts that banking in South Africa will be \u201cfully digital by 2027 if banks provide easy-to-use, secure channels supported by accessible human assistance\u201d. He cites the example of Tyme Bank, which serves mostly low-income earners through its traditional banking business model, but which has a smaller cost base than traditional banks thanks to the efficiencies afforded by digital technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/higher-certificate-in-business-management-in-credit-banking\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-144617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HCBM44.jpg\" alt=\"business school\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HCBM44.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HCBM44-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HCBM44-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/higher-certificate-in-business-management-in-credit-banking\/\"><b>What it takes to satisfy customers<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Separately, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa\u2019s banking sector is the economic segment with the most satisfied customers in the country (Consulta, 2020).
