The increase in the use of electronic banking during the corona virus pandemic has a positive effect on the development of the IT sector in Serbia and provides new opportunities for the work and education of Serbian programmers, the domestic software company “Enjoy.ing” announced today.
According to rough estimates by the company, which employs more than 250 software experts in Nis, Kragujevac and Belgrade, electronic banking services have doubled since the beginning of the year, as has the need for Serbian developers globally, the statement said.
“On our own example, we notice how much the demand for software engineers who develop e-banking solutions has increased. Only half a year since the beginning of the pandemic, the need for developers dealing with Java and Javascript programming languages, those working on e-banking solutions that, more and more often, work in the cloud and experts in manual and automatic testing has increased,“ explained the representative of Enjoy.ing, Mirjana Parpura Djordjevic.
She also reminded that the international organization that gathers some of the world’s best technoparks, stock exchanges, innovation centers and companies called the World Investment Forum of Business Angels ranked the Serbian IT sector among the three best on the planet.
“The Serbian IT market is recognized in the world as an industry with great potential and knowledge, and such a perception has not changed even during the corona. International companies are largely deciding to develop software solutions right here, so Serbian developers will continue to work on the most modern projects in the field of electronic banking,” added Parpura Djordjevic.
E-banking, only six months after the outbreak of the pandemic, exceeded all expectations about the development of electronic banking, it is stated in the announcement.
It is reminded that users used to opt mainly for money transactions, and now they use electronic banking for consulting, information, and even for taking loans.
“Deloitte’s research showed that only 35 percent of banking service users plan to go to traditional branches after the end of the pandemic. Others will conduct money transactions and conversations with financial advisors online,” said Parpura Djordjevic.
She added that a third of people over the age of 65, who used to be someone who would definitely go to the bank, will now opt for digital services, Danas reports.
