In the Australian banking industry, digital transformation has been effectively ‘templatised’, leading to undifferentiated experiences – investment in digital creativity is necessary to create long-term stakeholder value, says Mindshare Australia’s Tanvi Singh.
Why it matters
- Singh argues that undifferentiated CX doesn’t incentivise customers to switch but superior and differentiated CX pulls more customers into a brand while retaining the loyalists, so creating a clear advantage for the CX leader.
- She points to the contrast between legacy banks and fintechs, citing an Oliver Wyman report that found the top fintech firms, while smaller, grew six-fold over the last decade compared with 30% for the rest of the financial services category.
- Contrary to popular belief, she adds, most tech players have a brand story at the core of their tech product, which is used to build everything from the front end of their app to the back end of their businesses.
Takeaway
