Locality Bank selects Swaystack’s personalized engagement platform to bridge the divide between new account opening and digital banking.
46% of newly opened accounts go inactive within the first year (Jim, Marous, The Financial Brand). With the cost of acquisition for new accounts well over $200, banks face a dual strain: coming out of pocket to acquire customers, while nearly half of those accounts go inactive.
“Our partnership with Swaystack is a game-changer for us at Locality Bank,” explained Corey LeBlanc, COO and Co-founder. “It bolsters our ability to deeply understand our customers from the very beginning of the relationship. Soon, we can deliver personalized insights, next best action, and product recommendations at the most opportune time. This data-driven approach helps us meet our customer expectations for personalized banking and will boost retention by ensuring that our customer experience is engaging, relevant, and individually tailored.”
In today’s economy, banks across the nation are chasing low-cost, core deposits and non-interest, interchange income. By deploying Swaystack’s frictionless, 60-day new account onboarding journeys, Locality Bank can win primary financial institution status with customers immediately after they open an account; taking a strong step towards its goals of empowering local businesses to maximize their potential.
