Despite the self-service nature of online-only checking and savings accounts, access to customer service channels, including phone and email, helped drive satisfaction with these direct bank accounts, according to a new study from J.D. Power.
Today, 27 percent of banking customers in America use an online-only bank. As so much of our lives continue to shift to digitally based providers, direct banks have been in prime position to gain market share and mindshare by delivering around-the-clock access, along with products that have attractive fee structures and interest rates. Increasingly, we’re seeing the top-performing brands get the personalization formula right by helping customers reduce banking fees and grow their money, and by showing that they’re available to help customers in challenging financial times.
