And in technical terms this is called data. Businesses and professionals alike use this information to provide a better service, product or solution to the target customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we are still in the infancy stages of data <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salespanda.com\/analytics.php\">analytics<\/a>, and most domains are still learning to leverage data effectively. The banking sector is no exception. Banks have access to tons of data, but most don\u2019t have the digital infrastructure to utilize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, at the moment, data is so scattered within banks that it difficult to use resourcefully. However, there is a process to funnel data and use it appropriately. By utilizing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salespanda.com\/single-view-of-customer.php\">Single Customer View<\/a> (SCV) banks can trace their clients and their communications with them across multiple channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The apparent advantages of employing SCV include improved client service levels, higher client retention, and higher conversion rates. A fully established SCV will find a way to bring together all the information it has about a client and present it in a way that\u2019s easy to understand.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For banks, such a facility is a boon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A client PIN system is the most effective way to match specific identifiers such as the DOB, location, and name to a number that is allocated to each client. Through the PIN identifier, data can then be collated along every transaction the client makes. Now it\u2019s great that all this information is procured and sorted but what do you do with it?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here are why five reasons why banks need a single view of customer &#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><b>1) Customer experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SCV provides actual benefits in the form of precise record keeping and information organization. All this information needs to be kept up-to- date to make optimum decisions to reduce remedial and overlapping tasks. If the bank were up to date with its clients, it would not send duplicate emails and emails. It wouldn\u2019t pitch services which the client has already been offered or does not interest in. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2) Streamlined processes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the processes would become efficient which would, in turn, improve the overall customer experience. With real-time updates and increased interactions, a much better and more transparent of the customer is moulded. This new and accurate customer profile allows the bank to make better decisions that the client would also find beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3) Effective marketing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It only makes sense that an efficient SCV could also improve the way other departments in the bank operate. With a higher level of accuracy and clearer client insights, the bank can focus its marketing efforts directed towards the clients\u2019 requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With real-time updates and data, marketers can make better-informed decisions about how to approach a client. \u00a0In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketo.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2016-04-06-Marketers-Will-Seize-the-Customer-Experience-by-2020-Study-Shows\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">86% of marketers agree that consumers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expect them to know where they are, what they are doing and to provide a more relevant experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers want to have a great experience regardless of whether you are selling them a movie ticket or urging them to apply for a loan. The rules of the game stay the same for all kinds of businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4) Increase profits<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an accurate view of a client\u2019s situation will allow the bank to make a better financial decision affecting profits and the overall ROI. It also provides insight into which services the client is using and if there is an opportunity to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salespanda.com\/banking.php\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">upsell or cross-sell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By having one unified view of the client, the bank can reduce duplicate tasks and save on IT and marketing costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5) Data capitalization<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, as with any new system, there are hazards to circumnavigate. One of the most challenging aspects of implementing an Single View of Customer in a bank is transitioning from the current multi-channel method to a more holistic client data approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big banks tend to have multiple systems running according to convenience and availability. Even greater complications occur with banks going through mergers and acquisitions as they most likely will have many databases and IT platforms either not all compatible or united.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, through the adoption of an SCV, the bank can begin to capitalize on the data they are accumulating entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is your bank ready to join the SCV bandwagon?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, the future looks bright for banks that will take on the task of adapting to an SCV. There will be plenty of growing pains. But that\u2019s inevitable and with the right changes, the payoff can be tremendous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only will the banks be able to provide a more enriching experience to their clients but also improve their operations and quality standards manifold.
