There is another problem. The rush to Trust is also critical for banks to capitalize on Armed with these insights, banks will be able By offering video conference calls where digital is exacerbating the longer-term, one of their most promising opportunities to adapt around consumers’ new behaviors appropriate and frictionlessly integrating pre-COVID-19 trend of diminishing for revenue growth: new digitally enabled and preferences. Key to this will be digital and telephone channels, it’s possible consumer trust.

Section 2 (Re)introducing the personas The evolution of changing banking behaviors Global Banking Consumer Study | Making digital banking more human 11
Who are they? Defining the personas Consumers’ banking demands vary by age, gender, where they live and how much they earn. But their preferences are driven to a greater extent by personality. To help understand this, we replicated the methodology developed for our 2018 report to divide our surveyed consumers into four persona groups: Pragmatists, Traditionalists, Pioneers and Skeptics. Pragmatists Traditionalists Pioneers Skeptics Trusting and channel-agnostic, These customers value the This group comprises risk-takers Tech-wary and generally Pragmatists see technology as a human touch and avoid who are tech-savvy and hungry dissatisfied with their financial means to an end rather than a technology wherever possible. for innovation.
