Financial Messaging Services
Engage and reach securely and productively with a proven mobile messaging solution
The Importance of Communication in the Banking Sector
The behavior of the banking customer is rapidly changing, thus pushing financial organizations to improve and offer their services on different digital channels, in order to keep pace with their competitors.
Financial messaging services are necessary to improve the current digital transformation strategy and face the demands of the post-pandemic customer.
The pressure is on for CDOs to meaningfully connect digitally with consumers to improve the customer experience. To put it simply, banking institutions can’t afford to put off investing in a financial digital communication strategy that improves the customer experience and nurtures authentic connections with consumers at every opportunity of engagement.
Embracing Digital Transformation in Financial Services
Banks are facing fierce competition for customer loyalty against new ‘digital-only’ banks
Only 53% of banks’ customers have truly adopted mobile banking apps (The Financial Brand).
Pandemic lockdowns increased online banking adoption by only 3% (The Financial Brand).
CX strategies limited to 50% of small banks customers can cost them more than $20M a year (Forrester).
“Soprano Design’s Whole of Government communications solution is the most comprehensive government/citizens communications platform available in this segment to date. This platform facilitates modular departmental use cases or broad-based agency notifications. It also meets security and compliance regulations, that can be customized by agencies or regions. While other CPaaS providers are offering piece meal offerings, Soprano Design’s platform will be well received for its consistency and orchestration capabilities.”
Courtney Munroe, Research VP, WW Telecommunications Research, IDC. February, 2020
