For banks to stay ahead of the competition they need to gain a better understanding of their customers’ needs. With financial data-driven hyper-personalisation, banks can get to know their customers intimately, deepen their relationship and offer them personalised needs based solutions. During this presentation the team at Personetics will present how their global client base is helping their customers to navigate the cost-of-living crisis whilst winning the battle for deposits. Using case-studies from North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Australia we will explore how their clients have achieved the following:

  • Providing their customers with relevant and timely information through personalised and proactive support
  • Facilitated the transition from transactional banking to hyper-personalisation
  • Delivered business ROI through Data-Driven Personalisation
  • Advanced their strategies in the battle for deposits
