7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 Executive Summary Customer satisfaction has always been a priority for banks and payment companies. With the advancement of technology, rising competition and changing consumer preferences, it has become even more important to have effective customer service and relationship management (CRM) to retain existing customers as well as acquire new ones. Companies have adopted a number of best practices, including strengthening existing CRM platforms and installing new ones, managing contact center operations effectively, offering customized products and pricing at an individual level, and using online and social networking platforms to address customers complaints. Adoption of CRM solutions to improve customer service Banks and payment companies have adopted CRM applications to improve customer services and provide suitable products, indicating a positive outlook for successfully understanding customers. Companies in the Americas and Europe were early adopters of CRM applications, and are using them as a platform to develop new products. The Asia-Pacific region is at an intermediate level in terms of use of CRM solutions, while it is still a relatively new concept in the Middle-East and Africa. Overall global spending on CRM applications by retail banks reached US$X.X billion in 2012, accounting for XX.X% of the overall global spending on CRM. Spending is expected to accelerate further over the forecast period ( ), increasing from US$X.X billion in 2013 to US$X.X billion in 2017 at a CAGR of XX.XX%. Analytical tools enable customer segmentation to offer personalized services and products The use of analytical tools by banking and payment companies was initially for the purposes of attracting customers to certain products using a product-centric approach, but today it is used as a customer-centric approach. Banks and payment companies have shifted their focus to developing products beneficial for certain types of customer. Analytical tools use CRM as a platform to segment customers by age, gender and income to offer personalized products. Customer segmentation is also carried out on the basis of existing relationships with banks, benefitting both the customer and the bank. Social CRM is gaining prominence among retail banks and payment companies With the advancement of technology and improvements in digital channels, customers are interacting with banks through various networking platforms. Social CRM is an initiative adopted by various organizations and financial institutions to help understand customers and provide appropriate solutions. Banks and payment companies set up accounts and profiles on social platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to address customers issues, complaints and feedback. This helps them to maintain relationships with customers and retain market share. Mobile banking a new experience for customer convenience The number of people using mobile devices to access the internet grew significantly during The total number of mobile subscribers with access to broadband internet is expected to reach X.X billion by the end of 2013, up from XXX million in 2009, registering a CAGR of XX.XX%. The growing number of people using the internet on phones and tablets indicates that the consumer segment with access to advanced services through mobile devices is also expanding. As a result, banks and payment companies have increased their focus on making services accessible through mobile devices. Mobile banking enables banks and payment companies to offer a substantially updated banking experience. Banks and payment companies have developed mobile phone applications that allow customers to access their accounts and make online transactions, giving rise to the concept of omni-channel banking where banks can provide customers with a single view of their finances using a mobile device. Regulatory developments to help protect customer information and banks The rise in online banking through social platforms has led to regulatory developments for banking and payment companies, particularly in terms of know your customer (KYC), anti-money laundering and privacy.

8 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The increasing use of social media and online banking may hamper banks reputations in of the event of loss of customer information. Developments also include protection against credit or debit card fraud, maintaining the security of both cardholders and service providers. To increase transparency in banking and payments, regulators in various markets have enacted guidelines requiring companies to disclose policies, terms and conditions, and other details to customers. The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 in the US and the Consumer Credit (Disclosure of Information) Regulations, 2010, in the UK are examples of regulations aiming to increase transparency for customers.
