Early Findings
Provide Personalized Experiences
Survey data has shown that
80
% of consumers are "
more likely
to do business with a company that offers personalized experiences."
However, many consumers are
protective
of their personal information and therefore banks should be careful in the methods they
u
s
e
to personalize experiences for consumers. In fact,
25
% of consumers "see getting personalized offers as
creepy
" and
32
% feel that giving away their privacy is not worth personalized experiences.
In providing personalized experiences, it seems that banks would do well to make it clear to their customers how their personal information is used and how the company protects their private information, as
36
% of consumers feel that "companies
don't do enough
to protect their private information."

Provide a Face-to-Face Experience in the Digital Realm
Insights from Harvard Business Review have found that face-to-face interactions are
significantly more successful
than non-face-to-face interactions.
While providing live phone support is one way to mimic face-to-face interaction, real-time video is seen as a
more authentic
way to re-introducing this human touch within a digital environment.
BluCurrent Credit Union in Missouri is one such bank that has implemented real-time video to "ensure members can
connect
with a subject matter experts". This effort has increased the credit unions cross sales rate by
20
%.
