Reading Time: 6 minutes
Nothing is ‘As It Was’ in the world of financial services. Many factors are constantly changing, from customer expectations to mandates from regulators and policy-makers.
In the past five years, financial institutions have strived hard to master digital channels like apps, internet and mobile banking, e-wallets, and chatbot solutions. However, financial institutions have also realized that the disparity between the customer experience across channels is widening. Also, the level of personalization experienced in in-person interactions has been diluted by adding new channels to the mix.
Financial institutions are cognizant of what stands between them and their customers: their current martech stack which consists of multiple tools that only increase the complexity and time required to execute.
This begs the question: How can financial institutions provide a seamless, frictionless customer experience across channels and devices in 2024?
It is impossible to paint a complete picture of the financial service industry’s state without discussing the importance of data security and privacy in all areas. Marketers across the financial service industry are looking for new-age martech tools built with data security in mind.
Growing Pains From A Bloated Martech Stack
Operational inefficiencies and dependencies on external teams and agencies shackle marketers in the financial service industry from providing customer experiences that every customer needs and deserves.
While the requirements for financial service brands in 2024 are for a flexible and agile martech stack, legacy tools only increase dependencies and complications for even a simple task such as automating an onboarding campaign.
Some commonly faced challenges by financial service brands include:
1) Inability to Leverage New-Age Channels Seamlessly:
The modern customer would prefer to be engaged through channels beyond emails and SMS, namely push notifications, WhatsApp messages, pop-ups, etc. With a bloated martech stack with numerous point solutions for each channel, the customer experience will be far from seamless.
2) Siloed Promotional and Service Messaging:
Multiple tools that send promotional and transactional messages only result in a broken customer experience. Without a unified view of the transactional and promotional messages a customer has received, it’s hard for teams to identify if the customer has already received a critical alert on one channel and stop the same message from going on to other channels.
3) Longer Time and Effort to Execute Campaigns:
With a fragmented stack consisting of numerous solutions that are not compatible with each other, tasks that should be completed in minutes take days and weeks. Not to mention the reliance on external implementation partners and agencies to complete the simplest tasks.
4) Inability to Engage Customers in the Moment:
Obscurity around campaign performance and customer behavior makes it difficult for financial service brands to engage with customers in real time.
The result of these bottlenecks is lackluster performance on digital channels, unnecessary spending, and frustrated teams.
Why Should Financial Services Modernize Their Tech Stack?1) Efficiency vs. Bloat: Compare the steps required to achieve your goal with the customer engagement platform (CEP) vs. without. If the number of steps and complexities reduces with the addition of a CEP, and if the platform integrates with other tools in the martech ecosystem, then it’s a sign that you should modernize your tech stack with purpose-built CEP solutions. 3) Speed vs. Time-consuming: Consider the implementation time and the degree of involvement required from external consultants, developers, and agencies. The more external stakeholders are involved, the more time it takes to execute campaigns. If this is your situation, then it’s a clear sign that you should invest in a modern tech stack. 4) Ease of use vs. Unnecessary Complexity: Automating cross-channel workflows is an important capability a customer engagement platform requires in the financial service industry. The ideal CEP should make setting up your customer journey easy, whether the use case is onboarding or reactivation. |
