In the digital economy, the best banks are obsessed with fast, hassle-free customer service. After all, digital consumers are accustomed to the speed and convenience of Amazon, Alibaba, and Starbucks. They expect nothing less. Of course, the same is true of banking customers.

Unfortunately, customer experience is trending down in the banking industry, according to the latest report from global consulting firm Capgemini. The scary part is that this trend has put billions of dollars in deposits and revenue at risk. The impact on Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty is even more adverse.

Contrast this with the story of Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, one of Australia's leading banks. The Senior Officers at the bank decided to eliminate the traditional business silo approach and decided instead to focus on the overall customer journey.

Bank officials decided to look beyond the legacy infrastructure that couldn't keep pace with rising digital expectations. Nope! Instead, they made the leap to the Appian Application Development Platform, which allowed them to quickly deploy 23 user-friendly, customer-facing, tier-1 enterprise applications at a rate faster than one per month! The bank's new apps include ATM Management, Credit Card Management, Fraud Management, Disputes, Loans, Mortgages, Merchant Services, and other customer-focused processes.
