Successful bankers understand how critical it is to attract new customers and build their loyalty. Nurturing productive customer relationships often starts with core deposits.
Core deposits are a primary source of money for banks and credit unions. In general, core deposits range from smaller sources like consumer savings accounts to larger sources such as business checking and money market accounts. These deposits serve as a source of funds to make loans to depositors.
Building relationships
After attracting core deposits, banks can nurture customer relationships and build loyalty. The goal is for customers to use your bank for all their banking needs and recommend the bank to friends and family. That’s a great way to strengthen the organization.
How can banks more effectively grow core deposits and cross-sell to established customers? By building social networks, acquiring additional leads, operating more efficiently, and improving customer loyalty. To meet these challenges, a bank needs a dedicated team and the right CRM software.
Established bankers who have built relationships with their customers help their organizations lead the market. In an environment of extensive digital options and limited face-to-face interaction, personal relationships still matter.
