Is Customer Experience the Financial Services Industry’s Most Expensive Broken Promise?

Financial institutions have spent a lot on customer experience initiatives, promising seamless interactions and exceptional service. Yet, when customers share their experiences, the feedback often tells a different story:

• Why are so many financial institutions failing to deliver on their CX promises?
• Are CX efforts hindered by CFO skepticism, unclear KPIs, etc?
• How can financial organizations translate customer-centric strategies into tangible revenue growth?

If these questions trigger something in you, this webinar will provide clarity, insights, and actionable guidance.

Join our expert panel discussion as we uncover the uncomfortable truths behind the persistent CX gap in financial services, explore why significant investments haven’t always translated into better customer experiences, and—crucially—what your organization can do to break the cycle.

What you’ll learn:

• The Real CX Disconnect: Why financial institutions keep falling short, despite extensive investments.
• Financial Impact & KPIs: Identifying which CX metrics truly resonate with CFOs and the wider C-suite.
• Mindset over Technology: How to shift from a tech-first approach to true customer-centric transformation.
• Navigating the pitfalls in CX: Overcoming common concerns and aligning the entire organization—not just leadership.

If you’re ready to confront the uncomfortable truth, drive meaningful conversations internally, and finally deliver on your Customer Experience promises—this session is your starting point.
