5 Samsung Mobile Features and Apps to Streamline Finance Professionals' Workflows

Like many industries, financial companies are adapting to employees using mobile phones in their daily workflows. Work is often performed in a variety of locations, including home offices, client sites, and corporate offices. Financial companies continue to face stringent compliance and regulatory requirements wherever they operate, as they handle sensitive information on behalf of their customers. Additionally, employees and customers expect a mobile, “always on” approach to technology in the workplace and from financial service providers.

Samsung's mobile device and application ecosystem effectively supports financial companies in a variety of ways. Here are five ways companies can help in today's hybrid work environment.

1. Samsung Knox

Samsung Knox is built into every Samsung Galaxy smartphone, tablet, and wearable and provides government-grade protection for business data in financial services and other regulated industries. Additionally, Samsung Knox provides businesses with mobile security, unified endpoint management, and fraud and theft protection. Financial companies rely on a robust, government-grade security platform that starts protection at the hardware level and continues to protect against cutting-edge security threats.

Samsung Knox protects financial services employees whether they're in the office, remote, or on the go. With Knox, financial services companies can protect devices throughout their enterprise mobility management (EMM) journey, streamline deployment, easily set up thousands of devices, and simplify device management with Samsung Knox and Android Enterprise. It can be converted into

2. A galactic connected ecosystem

Thanks to the Galaxy-connected ecosystem, your staff enjoys continuity across devices. For example, you can answer a client call on your Galaxy S24 mobile on your way to the office, listen on your Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and then seamlessly transition to calling on your Galaxy Book. Bank employees can now know which customers have walked through their branch doors with Galaxy Watch6 notifications. Or connect your Galaxy Z Fold5 to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to enjoy a desktop computer experience.

Samsung's new Galaxy Book4 series is a productivity workhorse designed with the modern worker in mind. Equipped with the latest Intel Core processors and battery life, financial professionals can stay productive and power through their workday. Galaxy Book4 Ultra, Pro 360, and Pro models are protected by Samsung Knox. This means it has a secure built-in processor that protects against attacks below the operating system level.

Overall, the Galaxy-connected ecosystem helps improve productivity, including individual and team productivity for financial services employees.

3.Dex

Samsung DeX is a PC-like experience that takes full advantage of Samsung Galaxy phones, including the latest foldable devices (Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5) and the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung DeX allows employees to connect their phone or tablet (such as the Samsung Tab S9) to a larger screen, keyboard, and mouse to work with multiple apps simultaneously. DeX helps minimize the need for staff to carry laptops alongside their phones and tablets around the branch or office for client and vendor meetings.

DeX can also help financial companies reduce costs. For example, there is no longer a need to purchase separate monitors, keyboards, and thin client PCs for each employee at a retail bank branch.

Here are just two real-world examples of DeX.

• Asset managers can visit customers with just their Galaxy smartphone or tablet, connect to on-site equipment and present in a conference room.
• Bank personnel in a branch can instantly connect a Galaxy mobile device to the monitor to retrieve account information for customers visiting the branch.

4.S Pen

Samsung S Pen allows employees to write, annotate, and highlight documents on the screen of their Galaxy smartphone or tablet. The S Pen is designed to feel like a real pen, making the subtle sound of pencil on paper as you write. The S Pen can be used by insurance claims adjusters and wealth advisors to visit customers at their homes, or by bank branch representatives to collect customer signatures to complete a transaction or open a new account. Staff can collect signatures on the go. Employees can annotate PDFs, take notes without unlocking the device using the screen-off note-taking feature, and mark images, charts, or documents using the on-screen writing feature. You can also upload it.

5. Samsung Note

Samsung Notes is an innovative and intuitive platform for capturing ideas and information, and comes preloaded on every Galaxy device. While the app benefits a variety of financial stakeholders, it is also beneficial to insurance claims adjusters who are constantly on the scene conducting interviews, taking photos, and analyzing information. For example, insurance adjusters often work out of their cars and may not want to type up notes at the end of the day. With Samsung Notes, you can add live voice recordings to your notes and instantly convert handwriting to text. Need to mark up your documents? Tap the icon in the app's toolbar to switch between different types of pens, highlighters, and erasers.

With Note Assist, powered by Galaxy AI, employees can spend less time creating notes and more time taking notes. Help your employees find what they need, when they need it, by properly summarizing, formatting, and translating notes.
