The banking industry needs to transform itself from a transactional business model to an engagement model.
Banks make money on our deposits, our transactions and lending us money. The economic models for banks are old and subsequently there is little differential from one bank to another. The customer experience is largely the same and yet bank after bank uses the tag line “relationship banking.” Bank relations do matter just like any organization selling products and services but the dynamics of relationships are changing and so must the banking industry.
Think about the image we have of banks: a brick building we rarely go into with people behind a counter and the manager sitting in an office with plush furniture. What do these people do? They manage relationships, transactions and the more they manage the more they make.
What Would a “Social Bank” Do?
If banks would take advantage of social technology they could in fact create a “new system” that fueled transactions. Banks could set up a “social network” exclusively for banking customers to create profiles about who they are and what they do as well as a listing of their products and services. Banks could establish a “community” for customers to integrate their social media which would create a “digital marketplace” of conversations. The conversations could be tagged and categorized by interest and customers could find answers to common business questions. Answers to these questions represent a “marketplace” which in the end creates an exchange of value requiring more transactions.
