Description

Customer experience remains a key success factor for financial institutions. With the current digital evolution, which has seen an increase in the number of customers, financial institutions have been pushed to re-design their products to adapt to the expectations of the growing digital customers. In a bid to avoid losing out to FinTech companies, banks have moved from their domain to design financial products fitting digital customer opportunities. Some customers prefer to undertake banking and pay bills from the comfort of their homes and transact on 24-hour basis. As a result, the trustworthiness of the banking applications, their ease of use, accessibility, assurance of customer privacy, availability of quality network and web interface is vital for speedy, convenient and reliable offering of satisfactory banking services leading to customer loyalty and positive referrals to their friends. However, Digital banking has also come with several risks including loss of funds and increasing cases of money laundering. Some customers also prefer hard cash because of illiteracy, lack of proper governing regulations and inadequate technological infrastructure. Even with the introduction of mobile, internet banking and electronic banking cards, some of the micro finance institutions customers are reluctant in utilizing the channels. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of digital banking on customers’ experience among microfinance bank institutionsin Kenya. The conceptual framework in this study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and expectancy disconfirmation theory. For this purpose, the study used descriptive research design and a sample of 400 digital banking customers were selected. Further, primary data was relied upon and was collected using structured questionnaires. A quantitative approach was used to analyze data through SPPS software and the results interpreted and presented using tables and figures. Pearson correlation techniques were used to establish the nature of relationship between the independent and the dependent variables while regression technique was used to determine the effect of digital banking channels on customer experience among microfinance institutions in Kenya. The study concluded that mobile banking, internet banking and electronic card banking in the microfinance institutions are significant determinants of thecustomer experience amongdigital banking customers of microfinance institutions in Kenya. The study recommended that the microfinance institutions in Kenya ought to tap on the benefits of the digital banking channels to enhance the experience of their customers. However, the adoption of digital channels comes with its package of challenges including cyber-attacks. The security of the technology systems ought to be enhanced to avoid loss of customer funds and information. The study was limited to digital banking customers in microfinance sector only leaving out customer experiences from other financial sectors including Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCO), insurance companies, commercial banks and credit unions.

DIGITAL VISTOR COUNTER USING SEVEN SEGMENT AND LDR- electrical trade project
ABSTRACT Digital visitor counter is necessary to count how many people entered into a specific area or how many items are generated in a firm. It helps in counting of people in an auditorium or hall for seminar to avoid congestion. It is a simple electronic circuit which is totally based on the analogue and digital circuit. This is because it has some part of analogue and digital part(7 segment display) in analogue the main part is LDR(Light Dependent Resistor). How does digital visitor counter works It can simply be done by light reference and light sensor are used to detect the person and display the count using 7 segment display with the help of 4026 IC. The light reference and light senor are placed in such a way that the visitor will cross the light path when he/she enters the hall.

DESIGN OF A SENSOR BASED DETECTOR AND MONITORING SYSTEM - electrical diploma trade project
ABSTRACT With improvement in technology and miniaturization of sensors, there have been attempts to utilize the new technology in various areas to improve the quality of human life. One main area of research that has seen adoption of the technology is the healthcare sector. The people in need of healthcare services find it very expensive this is particularly true in developing countries. With improvement in technology previously expensive hospital equipment have been redesigned using current technology. The developments have seen a trend known as Remote healthcare or previously known as Telemedicine As a result, this project was an attempt to solve a healthcare problem facing the society. The main objective of the project was to design a remote healthcare system. It was comprised of three main parts. The first part being detection of a fall, second being detection of Electrocardiogram commonly referred to as ECG or EKG(heartbeat detection) and the last part was providing the detected data for remote viewing. Remote viewing of the data enables a doctor or health specialist to monitor a patient’s health progress away from hospital premises. Recent technology trend has seen Smart watches, fitness trackers and Smart phones with portable heartbeat detectors. All these are commonly referred to as wearable technology. These devices are modeled around another developing technology trend referred to as Internet of Things (IoT). The devices are linked to Smartphones that process and backup the information on a server. This information is later reviewed to give the health status or progress of the user. As the devices are still new to the consumers the cost is still high especially to those in developing countries. The aim of the project was to come up with a Remote Health Detection System that can be made with locally available sensors with a view of making it affordable if it were to be mass produced.

DESGIN OF SHORT CIRCUIT TESTER- diploma electrical trade project
ABSTRACT A short circuit has been a source of problems to the electrical components experienced by electrical technicians and engineers during the assembling of the evaluable components on the board. I have managed to come up with short circuit tester which will automatically detect and indicate the short circuit available in the assembled board. The main aim of coming with this project is to reduce the loss of life of people when short circuit occurs, maintain the life span of valuable components installed in the board and facilitate easy way of troubleshooting the component effect during the repair damaged equipment. The two NPN transistor BC547 is used in the project design to since the presence of short circuit in the electrical circuit. The designed buzzer will automatically have signaled hence turning on Red LED when there is Short circuit in the circuit under the tester thus creating awareness.
