Banks experiencing revenue growth are taking a disciplined approach to customer experience improvements. Results from our 2013 Most Engaging Customer Experiences (MECx) study show that many retail banks are taking on a broad array of customer experience activities:

  • 69% Share customer feedback with employees on a regular basis
  • 51% Have a clearly defined set of target customers

As a set, we see that Growth Banks are taking a disciplined approach to customer experience improvement:

  2. Clear goals for customer experience improvements means everyone in the company knows where they are going
  3. A decision-making process that emphasizes the customer means that everyone in the company knows how to make decisions around customer service, resource allocations, etc.
  4. Taking action on individual customer feedback means the right people in the company know what to do right now to improve the customer experience
