Company’s Chief Experience Officer and Believe in Banking’s Editor-in-Chief shares her insights and intelligence on the branch in Banking Business News Network publications
Wednesday, January 6, 2021 – Especially as spiking levels of COVID challenge many brands in the service sector, bank and credit union branches remain open for business. In a series of articles just published in Bank Business News, Credit Union Business News, and Branch Business News, Adrenaline’s Gina Bleedorn, takes on how banks and credit unions are remaining operational during tough times (like these), exceeding consumer expectations and living up to the label of “essential” service providers.
Gina finds that the financial services sector has exhibited real resilience through the pandemic, and nowhere is that more evident than in branch banking. She says, “[B]anking has successfully pivoted to our current COVID normal – augmenting digital and mobile platforms, implementing appointment-banking and repurposing channels like drive-up windows – all to meet considerable consumer demand in these unprecedented times.” While many predicted branch banking’s demise, this physical channel has found a new relevance now.
With a grounding in powerful data and actionable insights from the Believe in Banking publishing platform, Gina rounds up all the best practices for banks and credit unions, including the power of purpose as lived out in the branch. She says, “Smart banks know that the local branch is where their purpose comes to life… What consumers are looking for is a purpose-driven organization that’s on a mission to be responsive to their personal needs and financial goals, and they want that right around the corner.”
