Loyalty in Financial Services - UK - September 2012 Bharat Book Bureauwww.bharatbook.com
Summary Some questions answered in the 'Loyalty in Financial Services' report include: Who is most likely to have switched accounts? How cynical are people about banks’ claims to reward loyal customers? Do people think that loyalty has a non-financial payoff? How can financial services firms sidestep the price wars? How can banks give people an excuse to stay put? In the financial services industry, loyalty is a huge issue. Motor insurance has long struggled to cope with the growing commoditisation of the product, and the expansion of price comparison sites has exacerbated the problem. Other general insurance markets are following suit. A sizeable group of consumers are taking a similar approach to savings products, particularly in the cash ISA market. They keep careful tabs on the best-buy tables and the price comparison sites, and show little hesitation in changing accounts if they can get a better deal elsewhere.
