Security is one of the most significant concerns associated with BPO implementation.

Furthermore, sharing sensitive customer data by banks to BPO service provider result in the disclosure of personal information and exposes the business to security risk. For instance, in the U.S., official statistics of BPO from the country government projected that around 3,500 cyber-attacks against banks were recorded in the first seven months of 2019. This, as a result, has become a major factor that hampers the market growth.
