By GlobalData“The majority of consumers make decisions based on the products and services offered – with credit card offers, ATM fee refunds, physical branch locations, digital banking capabilities and P2P payments all ranking extremely high in importance. This means financial institutions must evaluate their existing offering and ensure they are meeting consumer demand. Otherwise, they will lose out to megabanks.”
