Customers Want More Fintech, Still Love Branches, and Wish Switching Banks Was EasierUntil switching banks is as painless as switching cell phone providers, at least 21% of customers feel like they're being held captive by their current bank. And despite the growing popularity of online banking, nearly half (49%) of customers still want access to a physical branch. These are just some of the key findings from a newly released banking report conducted by ForeSee, a leader in Voice of Customer (VOC) solutions. The new ForeSee Experience Index (FXI): 2017 Banking Report surveyed more than 4,000 U.S. banking customers to examine factors that influence customer experience (CX) with national banks, regional banks, and credit unions. The research reveals that while CX is not a top reason customers select a bank, a great digital customer experience is a crucial retention tool and one that ranks as a top reason people stay with a bank. In general, customer satisfaction was highest with credit unions (86), outperforming regional (82) and national banks (80) using the FXI's 100-point scale. Other key findings of the report include:
