Today's situation
When and how Bank gets to know that Bank customer is about to perform any *operation*? - Only when Customer initiates the action, i.e. approaches the bank operationist, inserts card into an ATM, calls the call center, logs into mobile banking and etc. Therefore, this is the moment it becomes obvious who the client is and what he is going to do.
New Opportunities
What are the advantages, if Bank anticipates that specifically this Customer is going to apply to the Bank?
*operation* – any action carried out between Bank and Customer (opening a bank account, credit payment, bank/account reference and etc.)
Today's Situation
Customer database and CRM provide Bank with easy way of collecting and storing Customer information, which is frequently used by credit departments and collector services but rarely used and less effective for sales and marketing departments to attract new customers and/or bank products promoting.
New opportunities
Imagine that Bank is getting information every time when client enters any of bank's branches or passes next to it, bank's ATMs or booths. At the same moment Bank could attract the Customer by showing an advertising message on the screen (could be with sound effect) – Do you remember fantastic movie "Minority Report"?
Today's Situation
Some banks have partner relationships with retail chains. Occasionally, that kind of partnership leads to the appearance of Loyalty Cards, and as a result improves customer attraction and retaining situation by financial motivation, but in today's concurrency world this might be not enough!
New opportunities
Integration of CRM for Banking and Commercial Network accompanied by IoT will give a great opportunity for immediate marketing promotions, focusing on specific Customers while they are in Shopping Centers or just passing next to them.
