Customer Centricity's impact can be assessed by understanding motivations at moments of value...and they told us customer centricity was a prime factor in their decisions We asked Canadian and French customers on their motivations for selecting a bank for... (Canadian results shown here; French results available) Acquisition (of primary relationship) How/why did you select bank X as your new banking provider? The bank was reasonable, transparent and honest in its rates "Other' external motivations Customer-centric motivations & pricing Customer-centric motivations 100% 5% 12% 34% 27% 22% Someone else opened the account for me It was mandatory (e.g. with a new mortgage, checking account, etc) The bank was closest to my home I liked the bank's service, products, rates, interaction (branches, telephony, internet, mobile) The bank was and/or its image & reasonable, advertising transparent and honest in its rates Sale (buying more) How/why did you choose specifically for bank X to increase volume?

Five key insights on what customers find important on customer-centric banking Customer Centricity value is best understood by exploring motivations at moments of value I Customer Centricity is the key factor in customer decisions to switch their main bank, but less of a factor in their decisions to buy more products at a particular bank II III IV V In deciding to switch banks, customers attach strong importance to themes in 5 out of 7 dimensions of our framework, in addition to looking for competitive rates Customer service requires hard skills in error-free execution and product knowledge Customer service and sales process need to be underpinned by soft qualities and capabilities Products and channels need to offer ease & simplicity Pricing and products need to acknowledge the individual (loyalty pricing, customizable products) In deciding to buy more (cross-sell, deep-sell, up-sell) key to success is to 'make it happen' in delivery Channels must be accessible and must make it easy to set-up and manage products Customer service requires speed and effectiveness in execution Actual decisions of customers to switch banks or buy more are strongly influenced by advocacy We expect most of these observations to hold in other markets, with a few qualitative differences Copyright 2011 by The Boston Consulting Group, Inc.
