Advances in automation are serving the needs of banks looking to enhance personalization and profits. For banks and wealth management institutions facing the complexities of a highly-regulated industry, two key challenges reign supreme: prioritizing personalization for better customer experiences, and improving time-to-market. Each of these, when done well, helps marketing technology leaders achieve two key goals: differentiating themselves from others to gain a competitive advantage, and landing and expanding customer relationships to drive revenue. As some of the financial institution’s top marketing teams have learned first-hand, marketing automation makes this happen. A bonus, vital where regulatory compliance rules rule: automation creates operational efficiencies that handle an ever-increasing volume of marketing collateral and offers, which proves critical to managing compliance risk.
For those who spend their days addressing common but vexing bank marketing challenges, knowledge is power.

How Platforms Improve Personalization, Productivity and Profits
Technology is in place to provide marketing and product teams with the confidence to deliver more personalized products and experiences to their customers, so they can look outward at growth and innovation — not inward at risks.
A valuable benefit of platform technology available to fintech today is its ability to manage the complete offer lifecycle from strategy to fulfillment, including tracking of when customers have met the offer requirements.
Working collaboratively with technology leaders who have designed proven cloud-based solutions is an important next step to navigating the regulatory waters. So, too, is being laser- focused on greater personalization and profitability. Finding trusted automated assistance can be a game-changer in helping staff be free to tend to value-added activity and new growth opportunities.
