Digital banking, customer experience and bank financial performance

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine customers’ perceptions of digital banking (DB), customer experience, satisfaction, loyalty and financial performance (FP) in UK banks. Design/methodology/approach The research consists of a survey of UK bank customers’ perceptions of the above themes; use of banks’ financial reports to obtain FP ratios; multivariate factor analysis; structural equation modelling; and analysis of variance tests to explore research hypotheses on the relationships among the study factors. Findings The main factors which determine customer experience in DB are service quality, functional quality, perceived value (PV), employee-customer engagement, perceived usability and perceived risk. There is a significant relationship among customer experience, satisfaction and loyalty, which is related to FP. Research limitations/implications This study concentrates on UK bank customers which limits its generalisability to other banks globally. However, the fact that banks typically adopt common standards in bank financial management implies that the findings are potentially robust for global bank management. Replicating the study in banks in other countries will further enhance this robustness. Practical implications Some significant effects of customer characteristics on the study factors were observed, which have useful implications for DB, bank marketing services and bank FP. Originality/value Unlike previous studies, this study uses both Net Promoter Score and financial ratios as dependent variables, to provide a combined study of the relationships among 14 study factors, with implications for bank marketing and FP.

Digital Banking, Corporate Governance, Ownership Structure, and Intellectual Capital Performance: Evidence from Indonesia

“…This research has differences with previous research in the following ways: (1) there is an additional variable for the implementation of digital banking in Indonesia. This is because, in the digital era like today, the banking industry relies on digital banking in attracting customers so that digital banking becomes the key to achieving competitive advantage (Mbama & Ezepue, 2018). In addition, only a few previous research that examines digital banking; (2) the measurement of corporate governance in this research uses an index, while previous research (Al-Musalli & Ismail, 2012;Makki & Loddhi, 2014) measures separately as board size, number of independent commissioners, and number of audit committee meetings.…”

The Economic and Social Dilemmas of Management Focused on the Future of Retail Branches of Commercial Banks in Poland

“…The factors of competitiveness, determined at the same time as potential factors for the development of retail banks, were initially identified based on the current state of knowledge. The results of the research conducted by: Sikorski (1995), Dowgiałło and Zadworny (2005), Penc (2005), Vieira (2013), Kiełtyka (2016), Rogers (2016), Mbama et al (2018) and Sayil et al (2019) were applied in the study. The focus was on internal factors (intra-bank), giving the remaining factors in the adopted research scenario the status of ceteris paribus.…”

“…Therefore, a certain change should be pointed out that gives priority to building a culture of trust, bank-client relationships and a culture of management based on these foundations. Additional opinions expressed freely by the bank managers surveyed (MX) emphasized that the identified development factors are directly related to the quality of customer service and their satisfaction as a measure of the user's individual experience (UX) (Kieżel, 2016;Gietl and Haufler, 2018;Mbama et al, 2018;Sayil et al, 2019). These factors show that even the prospective implementation of blockchain technology and the automation of retail banking services will leave room for individual non-anonymous services and relationships built by managers of bank retail branches with their clients.…”

What is the effect of intangible assets on earnings of the Serbian banking sector?

“…Digitalization of banking operations is a major challenge for all banks in the world (Schmidt et al, 2017). Past studies dealt with the digitalization of banking operations at the strategic level (Nayak, 2018), the prospects of the client (Orstad & Sonono, 2017;Schmidt et al, 2017;Accenture, 2018;Mylonakis, 2018) the internal perspective of the bank (Cognizant, 2014;KPMG, 2018), by integrating the previous three analyses into multiplestakeholder analysis (Schmidt et al, 2017;Dasho et al, 2016) or potential rewards and losses (Omarini, 2017;Deloitte, 2018: Mbama, 2018).…”
