Boston, January 13, 2021 –It’s now more important than ever to allow customers to seamlessly move between channels. Customers use multiple channels to research, buy, and monitor orders or transactions. By having omnichannel experiences, financial institutions can draw from data and analytics that capture the full scope of a customer relationship, make account-opening and onboarding of new products and services more efficient, resolve customer inquiries and problems quicker, and drive new sales opportunities.

This Impact Report explores the key themes that emerged from Aite Group’s first annual Retail Banking & Payments Customer Experience Forum, including opportunities, lessons learned, and “aha” insights shared by the panelists and guests. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led this year’s event to occur online, which became a global and collaborative virtual one-day affair. Discussions included pertinent customer experience topics, such as financial wellness through digital experiences and digital customer onboarding, and took place during 10 interactive panel discussions. The forum included more than 250 registered attendees, including 26 retail banking and payments executives from FIs, fintech lenders, and e-commerce merchants.
