Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Gamification in Banking and Financials
Mario Herger · 2014
61/100
👍 Worth It
A concise 96-page practitioner guide from a recognized voice in enterprise gamification, applying behavioral psychology and game design to banking, customer engagement, and employee training with real-world examples. The brevity means coverage is necessarily thin, and twelve years of fintech evolution have dated some of the case studies. Still useful as a quick framework introduction for financial services professionals, though it will leave specialists wanting more.
