A 2019 survey of the needs of banking clients in 28 different markets across the globe found that in South Africa, some of their primary needs are:
- richer digital experiences
- consistency across channels
- value for money
Why customers are moving banks
Given the economic climate, many South Africans are very price-conscious. When asked what the one thing is that would make them leave a financial services provider, fees were the biggest factor.
“Turnaround time” was the main reason people decided to close a bank account, followed by “billing or payments”. According to the research survey by BrandsEye, Capitec is one of the top 2 alternatives to clients consider when wanting to move banks.
