Waarom banken e-commerce zouden moeten verkopen

7 min read

What do you think of when you think of the word e-commerce? What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term?

Voor veel mensen, het kan kopen bij grote online retailers zoals Amazon of Alibaba. Voor anderen, het kan t-shirts en snuisterijen verkopen op platforms zoals eBay of Etsy.

Maar op veel manieren, e-commerce is veel meer dan alleen fysieke goederen online verkopen. Voor sommige industrieën en bedrijven, zoals banken, e-commerce is een manier om meer te weten te komen over hun klanten, meer klantgegevens verzamelen en benutten, identificeren en deelnemen aan cross- en upselling-mogelijkheden — en uiteindelijk leiden tot een hogere gemiddelde opbrengst per gebruiker (of klant). En aan het eind van de dag, making more money for you and your business is what it’s really all about, rechts?

So let’s learn a bit about why banks should be selling ecommerce to their customers.

1. Drive traffic to your site

Deze dagen, with inflation rising and supply chain disruptions threatening product availability and price points, it seems like everyone is focused on getting a good value — the mostbang for their buck,” dus om te spreken. It’s why bundles and combos are so popular: rather than pay for and pick up a single item at a handful of separate stores, many customers prefer aone-and-doneapproach to shopping where they only have to make one stop.

Denk over het: if you’re craving fast food burgers and fries, despite your preferences for specific restaurants, it’s unlikely that you’re going to go to one restaurant for the sandwich, another restaurant for the fries, another restaurant for the chicken tenders, another restaurant for a milkshake, another restaurant for soda

If a customer can purchase more than one service from your business, dat maakt het automatisch aantrekkelijker voor hen. De banksector is behoorlijk competitief, en verder dan de kernproducten die veel banken aanbieden - betaal- en spaarrekeningen, persoonlijke en zakelijke leningen, producten op basis van hoge interesse, enzovoort - veel banken zijn op zoek naar nieuwe producten en diensten die ze kunnen aanbieden om de interesse van klanten te wekken. Dus het aanbieden van e-commerce aan uw bankklanten die op zoek zijn naar diensten voor hun bedrijf kan een gemakkelijke overwinning zijn.

2. Toegang tot meer gegevens

You probably already collect a fair amount of your customers’ gegevens. Anytime they engage in banking transactions or buy your bank’s products and services, your business accumulates that data, which it can use in a number of ways — we’ll get into that more below.

By selling ecommerce alongside your more traditional banking products, you’ll addd another insight-rich data stream to your business: what services your customers are selling, what products aren’t selling, the volume of their sales and revenue, en dus op.

This can give your business a fuller picture and profile of your customers and their habits and financial dreams, which can help inform how you manage your relationship and do business with them in the future.

3. Identify cross- and upsell opportunities

As part of that greater data collection, you’ll gain a greater awareness of your customersmotivations and business goals. Dit, op zijn beurt, can help you pinpoint which of your customers would be most likely to buy additional goods and services from your bank — as well as what goods and services they’re most interested in.

Bijvoorbeeld, some of your new ecommerce customers might not be aware of all of the banking products you have on hand that can help them grow their business, so you’ll have the chance to cross-sell them on those things, bringing in more revenue to your business.

You may also have some existing bank customers who, after utilizing your new ecommerce services and launching their own online store, find that they need more of your higher-end products — a business credit card with a higher limit, money market accounts, basic payroll services, enz. — giving you an opportunity to upsell them on your bank’s more exclusive features.

4. Keep up with competitors

Whether or not uw bank is serious about providing ecommerce services to its customers, je hebt misschien gemerkt dat veel andere banken van verschillende groottes hun klanten de mogelijkheid hebben geboden om een ​​online winkel op te zetten (of, zoals Bank of America, hebben hun eigen!).

Je hebt misschien ook verschillende grote online retailers gezien, inclusief Walmart, Alibaba, en Rakuten, die interesse hebben getoond in of stappen hebben gezet om zelf iets van een bank te worden. Deze vervaging van scheidslijnen tussen retailers en banken zal alleen maar meer gemeengoed worden in westerse markten en wordt al onderdeel van de feitelijke marktstructuur in plaatsen zoals China en Japan.

Terwijl consumenten kijken naar de bedrijven en instellingen die ze vaak bezoeken om meer dan een of twee kerndiensten aan te bieden, e-commerce biedt banken een gemakkelijke manier om beter te anticiperen op de dingen die hun klanten nodig hebben en te beginnen met het uitbouwen van hun servicesuite. Banks that continue to focus solely on selling banking products risk being left behind in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

We hope the information above has been helpful, but look: the bottom line is that selling ecommerce helps your bank’s bottom line. As a bank, if your exposure to ecommerce has been limited — maybe a basic online portal and some payment processing — your business is leaving a lot of money on the table.

So we want to hear from you! Does your bank or the bank you do business with offer robust ecommerce services alongside its banking products, or is their ecommerce offering more basic and simple? Laat het ons weten in de comments!
