The Relationship Experience

Overview
Differentiation in the retail sector largely comes down to creating a unique customer experience. Yet, little research has been done to understand how to successfully implement an experience-based model in the banking industry.

The Relationship Experience, is a research project launched by BAI in partnership with Accenture, ARGO Data Resources, NewGround, SAP and Unisys in June 2006. The research is based on a nationally representative survey completed by 2,430 U.S. consumers in August 2006; over 40 telephone interviews with senior retail executives; and a comprehensive diagnostic survey the branch experience (brand, place, culture and technology) completed by over 450 retail banking executives from U.S.-based national, regional, and community banks.

The research was designed to understand the specific branch-based experiences that have the greatest impact on customers’ relationship receptivity and loyalty with their primary bank. It also sought to quantify how these factors impact the deposit and loan wallet share that customers allocate to their primary bank. Our analysis generated a customer segmentation framework along with tools and insights that banks can utilize to enhance the branch banking experience.

This research follows BAI’s 2005 The Frontline Experience research project, which surveyed over 3,700 U.S. consumers to understand and segment how retail banking customers define the concept of having a relationship with their bank.

This landmark study will provide you with perspectives on specific branch-based sales and services experiences that have the greatest impact on customer relationship receptivity and loyalty with their primary bank.
