Abstract
Banks are saying the right things on digital, but aren't yet executing it really well.
Our eighth digital panel revisits our inaugural effort, examining North American retail banks' attitudes on digital. They've advanced, but still feel there's work to be done.
Banks and credit unions have reason for cautious optimism. Reponses show a greater C-suite commitment to investing in digital compared to 2015. Customer preferences are increasingly driving decision making, and panelists are eager to learn more about leveraging data and analytics to serve them.
There is still a long way to go, however. Few respondents consider their efforts truly outstanding. Executing on automation and analytics is still a challenge. Balancing the sea change that digital mandates with day-to-day responsibilities is a significant barrier.
