Personal Banking
Improving profits in personal banking and finance
Standing out from the crowd in personal finance is tough – customers see little differentiation between one product and another other than an introductory offer and rates and the only visible update is a statement. This is getting worse as challenger banks and financial services organisations focus on poaching the most profitable customers.
Customer Retention
Our starting point is to focus on improving loyalty with your existing customers – with typical customer retention as low as 75% in current accounts and rates ranging from 10% to 50% in credit cards and some forms of finance.
Loyal customers are:
20 to 25 percent of customers leave during the first year, with half not making it past the first 90 days after opening their accounts – yet the average cost to acquire and on-board them is £150 – that’s madness. Creating happy customers is simple – reward them and help them save money – imagine if you were offered free rewards and benefits worth £2-3000 every year? Wouldn’t that make you a loyal customer?
Delivered through a web portal and app, the programme can include:
- Financial wellness support
- Free treats like holidays, experiences and vouchers
- Concierge services to save customers time and provide a true VIP experience
- Up to 98% saving on shopping, health clubs, cinema, eating-out, transport, holidays and leisure
- Lotteries
- Refer customers to your bank or give positive reviews
- The ability to earn points to spend on rewards
- A better customer experience as our feedback helps to minimalise negative experiences
A programme like this has helped increase retention for finance by 62% for GE Money. It can even generate direct profits by forming a lasting bond
In addition providing the ability to contact customers with regular positive news, the customer loyalty programme will help re position the bank as a membership organisation that helps improve their health, wealth and happiness.
If your bank or credit card was giving you free rewards and savings worth thousands every year, would you consider going anywhere else?
