Survey shows customers give banks lackluster grades on their personalization
Consumers are not happy with the level of personalization they're receiving during interactions with their banks, per J.D. Power's 2022 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study, which surveyed over 101,000 people.

The new report found that people are expressing dissatisfaction with banks' approaches to personalization based on how well they're supported during difficult financial times. The research firm gave higher inflation as context.

J.D. Power also found that 61% of consumers are often unaware or unsure about their bank's anti-overdraft fee measures—despite how pervasive these changes have been across the industry recently.

These vulnerabilities could negatively impact customer retention—but they're not insurmountable. Banks can focus on making improvements in two areas: personalization and marketing.

Insider Intelligence's Tom Auchterlonie has the full story.
