A recent Financial Brand article highlighted the fact that too much focus on the back and forth debate over branch and digital preferences of consumers diverts attention from providing a superior member experience. The article concluded that people expect hassle-free interactions and a satisfactory result no matter how they do business with your credit union.
Our CU clients have found that offering appointments to their time-pressed members is a great way to build a bridge between their branches and their digital channels. They note that the convenience of quickly and easily booking a branch appointment helps boost member satisfaction levels, while increasing staff productivity.
Key Takeaway: Your CU can help solve the Branch vs. Digital conundrum by allowing members to schedule appointments via the Web, mobile devices or by contacting agents through your contact center.
