Bill Clark, CEO of TimeTrade SilverCloud joined credit union expert Robert McGarvey on the CU 2.0 Podcast to discuss the latest digital banking trends.
TimeTrade SilverCloud recently released its Digital-First Banking Trends Report.
The report examines usage trends related to digital self-service and appointments as financial institutions navigated the challenges of the pandemic from March 2020 through March 2021. Listen here.
Report Highlights:
Self-service activity on bank and credit union websites increased 69%
Usage of self-service content on mobile banking apps increased 82%
Chatbot usage on bank and credit union websites and mobile apps increased 272%
Pre-scheduled appointments per branch have increased 79%
Listen to the podcast below as Bill and Robert dive into these trends and discuss how the pandemic changed the way people bank and what consumer behavior looks like a year post COVID.
“Once it became safe to use any channel again, including going to the branch, a few went back to the branch, they went right back to the way things were before the pandemic, but a significant portion have changed their behavior forever.”
-Bill Clark, CEO at TimeTrade SilverCloud
