Key insights

These customers want a more seamless and straightforward way to interact with their banks and financial institutions, which means these institutions must strive to meet these new expectations.
Banking is getting personal

Users have different preferences when it comes to banking - some prefer visiting the bank, others prefer speaking to an agent over the phone, and some prefer conversational AI.

Episode highlights

Personalization is key

"It's not enough to be able to just speak to [a user] in a general way; it's super important for us to deliver a tailored message to them — something that really understands their financial moment. Maybe they're looking at acquiring a new house; maybe they're looking at updating their car. In general, there's a couple of things we can think about, and we need to talk about those specific requirements."

Timely communication builds customer trust

"We need to really deliver and communicate to our users... we need to deliver this communication in a timely manner, so that really creates this sense of trust and sense of engagement with the financial institution."

Balance automation and the human touch

"Tech is not enough. We need to understand how to balance the right level of self-service automation but also providing the right context of the human touch and then the ability to deliver on a good experience when we need the, to escalate things and have the right level of support."
