Innovation is imperative to providing a complete customer experience
The savings and deposits market in the UK has experienced significant change over recent years, including increasing customer expectations. Firms will need to embrace the opportunities from digital transformation, while delivering customer-centric services, in order to stay competitive.
The ability to engage differently with customers, across all of their preferred channels, at a time that suits them, is key to providing a well-rounded service. Engaging differently is often interpreted as engaging digitally. This isn’t necessarily the case. At Sopra Steria we embrace a ‘Digital First, But Not Always’ approach to our Business Process Services.
We believe that by building savings and deposits Business Process Services around the moments that matter, we can help you be there for your customers, balancing the need for digital engagement with the human touch.
The future of savings and deposits
Traditionally, lower complexity activities have been migrated offshore to global delivery centres in order to take advantage of cost savings. The outcome of this was a lower cost solution at the expense of a positive customer experience. Human interactions were often removed altogether, customer satisfaction reduced, and brand perception was negatively impacted.
Now, more than ever, customer centricity and the ‘human touch’ is of paramount importance. As the financial services sector looks to enhance its customer attraction and retention, we are working with savings and deposits organisations who are taking advantage of flexible services which can be scaled up and scaled down based on demand.
These services include building micro journeys in customer acquisition and onboarding new customers digitally, using a mobile app. Importantly, we understand that when someone needs to talk to a person it should be easy to reach out and engage.
We have a 40+ year history of working with Banks and Building Societies to design, develop and implement key customer satisfaction strategies, improve efficiency and ultimately, success.
