Retail Banking Growth Engine

Swiss retail Banks are facing intense competition in a close to saturated market. Marketing costs poured into new client acquisition, combined with competition retaliation, often do not bring adequate results. The focus of established institutions is now shifting towards increasing revenue from existing client portfolios – nevertheless the main challenge remains: how to do this successfully in today’s complex multichannel data-driven world while developing customer relationships and loyalty?

Highly innovative solutions such as the Deloitte Retail Banking Growth Engine (RBGE) can help. RBGE is a unique modular suite of advanced customer analytics models developed by Deloitte to help retail banks gain deeper insights into their data and address growth challenges throughout the clients’ entire banking life cycle, from improved individualised servicing through to active relationship development supported by targeted cross- and up-sell of the best suitable products complemented by churn prevention of valued customers.

Which added value does Retail Banking Growth Engine generate for the bank?

• Think about all the information and signals a bank receives from its customers – demographics, channel and product preferences, interactions and transaction behaviours, etc.
• Customer analytics is among the most powerful enablers a bank can use for translating those signals into useful actionable insight about their individual customer needs.
• Just as important, analytics can help deliver customer insights directly to bank sales people who need them most, or to CRM, in a format that makes it easy to understand and act on them.

Applying the RBGE models can deliver increases in bank up-sell by as much as 15-25%, cross-sell up to 45%, and marketing campaign hit rates boosts of up to 30%. An important additional effect which RBGE brings is the improved customer experience due to better segmentation and offer targeting and last but not least savings or better utilisation of the marketing budget.
