4 ways your financial business can recover from this

Companies in the financial industry are having a hard time getting potential customers to trust them. Instead of highlighting a crisis, this is the greater opportunity to improve certain aspects of your business.

Here are some ideas that should be your top priorities based on data.

Help your customers to go digital and remote.

Focus on quality customer service

Introduce new experiences or services for distressed customers

Protect people’s data at all costs

Help your customers to go digital and remote.

31% of clients believe the ease of online banking service to be a decisive factor in changing their current account provider.

With the Covid-19 Pandemic, the need for social distancing put a lot of focus on remote services. Businesses that were still stuck in the analog age had trouble adjusting to digital, and customers felt they were given a worse deal.

That is the sign you need to work on your digital services. Rely on data to learn from your customers’ preferences and deliver easy-to-use and effective experiences.

Focus on quality customer service

26% of people believe the quality of customer service is essential when deciding to change financial services.

As you can see, an unpleasant experience with customer service can be decisive to losing those consumers. That makes sense, as competition is fiercer, which means more alternatives for people to choose from.

You can change that by improving your customer experience end-to-end. That means making sure that each interaction is positive and focused on the solutions your consumers need.

Introduce new experiences or services for distressed customers

Data also shows that 17% of customers would change their preference for financial business based on a desire for better additional services.

When was the last time you evaluated people’s needs and created tailor-made experiences? Before your customers leave you dissatisfied, consider what would make them stay. This is the time to add innovation to your list of priorities.

You can do this by performing a survey among different sections of your customer base. Offer them incentives for engaging with your questions and ask about potential new services that might please them, as well as which approach they prefer from your business.

Protect people’s data at all costs

14% would change their financial service provider based on business ethics.

Customers prefer doing business with companies they trust, and transparency plays a critical role in this. People need to be able to check for themselves whether a service truly has integrity in its operations and actions.

Additionally, it is not enough to be ethical; you must also make your ethical initiatives more transparent. In other words, people need to confirm you are trustworthy.
