Big Bank Investments in Mobile Apps Pay Dividends as Customer Volume Shifts to Digital, J.D. Power FindsA record two-thirds (67%) of U.S. retail bank customers used their bank's mobile app during the past year-an increase of seven percentage points from 2020-and a record 41% of bank customers are now classified as digital-only. According to a series of recent studies of bank and credit card mobile app and online users, released today by J.D. Power, mobile has officially become the primary battlefield in the quest for banking and credit card customer satisfaction, and the nation's largest retail banks are setting the pace for others to follow. The studies-J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Banking Mobile App Satisfaction StudySM, 2021 U.S. Online Banking Satisfaction StudySM, 2021 U.S. Credit Card Mobile App Satisfaction StudySM and 2021 U.S. Online Credit Card Satisfaction StudySM-track overall customer satisfaction with banking and credit card providers' digital offerings. "The nation's largest banks and credit card issuers have been continually innovating new digital solutions that support increasingly complex tasks, such as problem resolution, personalized alerts and profile management," said Jennifer White, senior consultant for banking and payment intelligence at J.D. Power. "This is driving increased engagement and significantly higher levels of satisfaction as the world shifts to digital. That's a challenge for regional banks that have traditionally taken a simpler design approach and are now starting to see customer satisfaction scores fall as many customers required more sophisticated digital offerings in 2020 than in previous years."
