6. Social media as an opportunity
to regain customers’ trust ?
After the financial crisis, trust in banks
58 decreased in the US.
Regional Bank % Bank of America 31%
Ing Direct 46% Chase 31%
Wells Fargo 43% Capital One Bank 29% Primary objective : to rebuild
26 customer’s trust
US Bank 37% Citibank %
Charles
Schwab 34% HSBC 16%
On facebook or Twitter, a lot of negative
comments were posted by customers.
But, these new communication
channels allowed banks to answer and
customers to notice, in return, their
satisfaction.
Social media, a useful tool to
regain customers’ trust ?

14. Citibank conclusion
« It takes time to develop a strategy on social media, because you have to
convince people internally and it requires open-mindedness.
At Citi, it was a real cultural revolution,
facilitated by our internal social media website Citi 2.0.
It requires also to adapt to the customers needs and expectations, as an
example we are currently developing ‘‘click to chat” and “click to call’’
solutions to allow private communications.
In the near future, we imagine that our customers will use Twitter to
communicate with their personal financial advisor
and to manage their bank account.»

15. What could be the future of social media
in the US banking industry ?
« Social media allow us to target a specific customer category like students or
customers of a specific branch. We think that social media will allow us to
develop a more targeted and more local communication».
Senior VP Retail Payment Solutions & Internet Strategy
« Our youngest customers do not reach their bank through physical channels
like the branch, they also do not use so much phone or e mail compare to
older customers. We think that social media will become a major
communication channel for the millennium generation».
Senior VP Experiential Marketing
« We consider American Express as a best practice. Their social media
campaign had a direct impact in terms of purchases volume. We think that
social media will become a tool to develop sales in the next future».
