In support of their branch network The Nationwide Building Society, a large credit union in Great Britain, is running TV ads with the message: ‘technology is great, but sometimes face-to-face is better’. The synergy between the branch and the digital channels is directly evident: when Nationwide opens a new branch, the number of people using its smartphone app in the area “increases considerably”.
The credit union is also currently upgrading their branch network to support video conferencing equipment to connect members with remote financial specialists to offer financial advice.
Key Takeaway: We continue to advocate for building bridges between the digital channels and the branch and support that philosophy via modules such as our Mobile Appointment Booking Tool and our Video Meetings Queues.
