  • Strategies for Reducing Bank Customer Acquisition Cost [2024]

    24 septembre 2024, par Daniel Crough — Banking and Financial Services

    Acquiring new customers is no small feat — regardless of the size of your team. The expenses of various marketing efforts tend to pile up fast, even more so when your business operates in a highly competitive industry like banking. At the same time, marketing budgets continue to decrease — dropping from an average of 9.1% of total company revenue in 2023 down to 7.7% in 2024 — prompting businesses in the financial services industry to figure out how they can do more with less.

    That brings us to bank customer acquisition cost (CAC) — a key business metric that can reveal quite a bit about your bank’s long-term profitability and potential for achieving sustainable growth. 

    This article will cover the ins and outs of bank customer acquisition costs and share actionable tips and strategies you can implement to reduce CAC.

    What is customer acquisition cost in banking ? 

    List of customer acquisition cost components

    The global market volume of neobanks — fintech companies and digital banking platforms, often referred to as “challenger banks” — was estimated at $4.96 trillion in 2023. It’s expected to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.15% in the coming years, potentially reaching $10.44 trillion by 2028.

    That’s enough of an indicator that the financial services industry is now a highly competitive landscape where companies are often competing for the attention of a relatively limited audience. 

    Plus, several app-only banks based in Europe have made significant progress in attracting new customers to their financial products : 

    Unsurprisingly, this flurry of competition is putting upward pressure on customer acquisition and retention costs across the banking sector.

    Customer acquisition cost (CAC) — the sum of all costs and resources related to acquiring an additional customer — is one of the key business metrics to keep an eye on when trying to maximise your return on investment (ROI) and profitability, especially if your company operates in the banking industry.

    Here’s the basic formula you can use to calculate the cost of acquisition in banking : 

    Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) = Total Amount Spent (TS) / Total New Customers Acquired (TNC)

    In essence, it requires you to divide the total cost of acquiring consumers — including sales and marketing expenses — by the total number of new customers your company has gained within a specific timeframe.

    There’s one thing you need to keep in mind : 

    The customer acquisition process involves more than just your marketing and sales departments. 

    While marketing and sales channels play a crucial role in this process, the list of expenses that may contribute to customer acquisition costs in banking goes well beyond that. 

    Here’s a quick breakdown of the customer acquisition cost formula to show you which costs make up the total amount spent : 

    • All advertising and marketing costs, including traditional (direct mail, billboards, TV and print advertising) and digital channels (email, Google ads, social media and influencer marketing)
    • Cost of outsourced marketing services, including any independent contractors involved in the process 
    • Salaries and commissions for the marketing team and sales representatives
    • Software subscriptions, including marketing software and web analytics tools 
    • Other overhead and operational costs 

    And until you’ve taken all these expenses into account, you won’t be able to accurately estimate how much it actually costs you to attract potential customers.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that there’s no universal definition of “good CAC.” 

    The average customer acquisition cost varies across different industries and business models. That said, you can generally expect a higher-than-average CAC in highly competitive sectors — namely, the financial, manufacturing and real estate industries. 

    Importance of tracking customer acquisition cost in banking 

    Illustration of customer acquisition concept

    Customer acquisition costs are an important indicator of a banking business’s potential growth and profitability. Monitoring this fundamental business metric can provide data-driven insights about your current bank customer acquisition strategy — and offers a few notable benefits : 

    • Measuring the performance and effectiveness of different channels and campaigns and making data-driven decisions regarding future marketing efforts
    • Improving return on investment (ROI) by determining the most effective strategies for acquiring new customers 
    • Improving profitability by assessing the value per customer and improving profit margins 
    • Benchmarking against industry competitors to see where your business’s CAC stands compared to the banking industry average

    At the risk of stating the obvious, acquiring new customers isn’t always easy. That’s true for many highly competitive industries — especially the banking sector, which is currently witnessing the rapid rise of digital disruptors. 

    Case in point, the fintech market alone is currently valued at $312.98 billion and is expected to reach $556.70 billion by 2030, following a CAGR of 14%.

    However, strong competition is only one of the challenges banks face throughout the process of attracting potential customers. 

    Here are a few other things to keep in mind : 

    • Ethical business practices and strict compliance requirements when it comes to the privacy and security of customer data, including meeting data protection standards and ensuring regulatory compliance
    • Lack of personalisation throughout the customer journey, which today’s customers view as a lack of understanding of — and even interest in — their needs and preferences 
    • Limited mobile banking capabilities, which further points to a failure to innovate and adapt — one of the leading risks that financial services may face 

    7 strategies for reducing bank customer acquisition costs 

    Illustration of CAC and business growth concepts

    When working on optimising your banking customer acquisition strategy, the key thing to keep in mind is that there are two sides to improving CAC : 

    On the one hand, you have efforts to decrease the costs associated with acquiring a new customer — and on the other, you have the importance of attracting high-value customers. 

    1. Eliminate friction points in the customer onboarding process

    One of the first things financial institutions should do is examine their existing digital onboarding process and look for friction points that might cause potential customers to drop off. After all, a streamlined onboarding process will minimise barriers to conversion, increasing the number of new customers acquired and improving overall customer satisfaction. 

    Keep in mind that, at the 30-day mark, finance mobile apps have an average user retention rate of 3% : 

    That says a lot about the importance of providing a frictionless onboarding experience as a retail bank or any other financial institution. 

    Granted, a single point of friction is rarely enough to cause customers to churn. It’s typically a combination of several factors — a lengthy sign-up process with complicated password requirements and time-consuming customer identification or poor customer service, for example — that occur during the key moments of the customer journey.

    In order to keep tabs on customer experiences across different touchpoints and spot potential barriers in their journey, you’ll need a reliable source of data. Matomo’s Funnels report can show you exactly where your website visitors are dropping off. 

    2. Get more personalised with your marketing efforts 

    Generic experiences are rarely the way to go — especially when you’re contending for the attention of prospective customers in such a competitive sector. 

    Besides, 62% of people who made an online purchase within the last six months have said that brands would lose their loyalty following a non-personalised experience. 

    What’s more shocking is that only a year earlier, that number stood at 45%.

    When it comes to improving marketing efficiency and sales strategies, 94% of marketers agree that personalisation is key : 

    It’s evident that personalised marketing supported by behavioural segmentation can significantly improve conversion rates — and, most importantly, reduce acquisition costs. 

    Of course, it’s virtually impossible to deliver targeted, personalised marketing messaging without creating audience segments and detailed buyer personas. Matomo’s Segmentation feature can help by allowing you to split website visitors into smaller groups and get much-needed insights for behavioural segmentation. 

    3. Build an omnichannel marketing strategy 

    Customer expectations, behaviours and preferences are constantly evolving, making it crucial for financial services to adapt their customer acquisition strategies accordingly. Meeting prospective customers on their preferred channels is a big part of that. 

    The issue is that modern banking customers tend to move across different channels. That’s one of the reasons why it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to deliver a unified experience throughout the entire customer journey and close the gap between digital and in-person customer interactions. 

    Omnichannel marketing gives you a way to keep up with customers’ ever-evolving expectations :

    Adopting this marketing strategy will allow you to meet customers where they are and deliver a seamless experience across a wide range of digital channels and touchpoints, leading to more exposure — and, ultimately, increasing the number of acquired customers.

    Matomo can support your omnichannel efforts by providing accurate, unsampled data needed for cross-channel analytics and marketing attribution

    4. Work on your social media presence 

    Social networks are among the most popular — and successful — digital marketing channels, with millions (even billions, depending on the platform) of active users. 

    In fact, 89% of marketers report using Facebook as their main platform for social media marketing, while another 80% use Instagram to reach their target audience and promote their business. 

    And according to The State of Social Media in Banking 2023 report, nine out of ten banks (89%) consider social media is important, while another 88% are active on their social media accounts. 

    That is to say, even traditionally conservative industries — like banking and finance — realise the crucial role of social media in promoting their services and engaging with customers on their preferred channels : 

    It’s an excellent way for businesses in the financial sector to gain exposure, drive traffic to their website and acquire new customers. 

    If you’re ready to improve social media visibility as part of your multichannel efforts, Matomo can help you track social media activity across 70 different platforms. 

    5. Shift the focus on customer loyalty and retention 

    Up until this point, the focus has mainly been on building new business relationships. However, one thing to keep in mind is that retaining existing customers is generally cheaper than investing in customer acquisition activities to attract new ones. 

    Of course, customer retention won’t directly impact your CAC. But what it can do is increase customer lifetime value, contributing to your company’s revenue and profits — which, in turn, can “balance out” your acquisition costs in the long run.

    That’s not to say that you should stop trying to bring in new clients ; far from it. 

    However, focusing on increasing customer loyalty — namely, delivering excellent customer service and building lasting business relationships — could motivate satisfied customers to become brand advocates. 

    As this survey of customer satisfaction for leading banks in the UK has shown, when clients are satisfied with a bank’s products and services, they’re more likely to recommend it. 

    Positive word-of-mouth recommendations can be a powerful way to drive customer acquisition. You can leverage that by launching a customer referral program and incentivising loyal customers to refer new ones to your business. 

    6. A/B test different elements to find ones that work 

    We’ve already underlined the importance of understanding your audience ; it’s the foundation for optimising the customer journey and delivering targeted marketing efforts that will attract more customers. 

    Another proven method that can be used to refine your customer acquisition strategy is A/B or split testing

    It involves testing different versions of specific elements of your marketing content — such as language, CTAs and visuals — to determine the most effective combinations that resonate with your target audience. 

    Besides your marketing campaigns, you can also split test different variants of your website or mobile app to see which version gets them to convert. 

    Matomo’s A/B Testing feature can be of huge help here : 

    7. Track other relevant customer acquisition metrics 

    To better assess your company’s profitability, you’ll have to go beyond CAC and factor in other critical metrics — namely, customer lifetime value (CLTV), churn rate and return on investment (ROI). 

    Here are the most important KPIs you should monitor in addition to CAC : 

    • Customer lifetime value (CLTV), which represents the revenue generated by a single customer throughout the duration of their relationship with your company and is another crucial indicator of customer profitability 
    • Churn rate — the rate at which your company loses clients within a given timeframe — can indicate how well you’re retaining customers 
    • Return on investment (ROI) — the revenue generated by new clients compared to the initial costs of acquiring them — can help you identify the most effective customer acquisition channels 

    These metrics work hand in hand. There needs to be a balance between the revenue the customer generates over their lifetime and the costs related to attracting them.

    Ideally, you should be aiming for lower CAC and customer churn and higher CLTV ; that’s usually a solid indicator of financial health and sustainable growth. 

    Lower bank customer acquisition costs with Matomo 

    Acquiring new customers will require a lot of time and resources, regardless of the industry you’re working in — but can be even more challenging in the financial sector, where you have to adapt to the ever-changing customer expectations and demands. 

    The strategies outlined above — combined with a thorough understanding of your customer’s behaviours and preferences — can help you lower the cost of bank customer acquisition.

    On that note, you can learn a lot about your customers through web analytics — and use those insights to support your customer acquisition process and ensure you’re delivering a seamless online banking experience. 

    If you need an alternative to Google Analytics that doesn’t rely on data sampling and ensures compliance with the strictest privacy regulations, all while being easy to use, choose Matomo — the go-to web analytics platform for more than 1 million websites around the globe.

  • 7 Fintech Marketing Strategies to Maximise Profits in 2024

    24 juillet 2024, par Erin

    Fintech investment skyrocketed in 2021, but funding tanked in the following two years. A -63% decline in fintech investment in 2023 saw the worst year in funding since 2017. Luckily, the correction quickly floored, and the fintech industry will recover in 2024, but companies will have to work much harder to secure funds.

    F-Prime’s The 2024 State of Fintech Report called 2023 the year of “regulation on, risk off” amid market pressures and regulatory scrutiny. Funding is rising again, but investors want regulatory compliance and stronger growth performance from fintech ventures.

    Here are seven fintech marketing strategies to generate the growth investors seek in 2024.

    Top fintech marketing challenges in 2024

    Following the worst global investment run since 2017 in 2023, fintech marketers need to readjust their goals to adapt to the current market challenges. The fintech honeymoon is over for Wall Street with regulator scrutiny, closures, and a distinct lack of profitability giving investors cold feet.

    Here are the biggest challenges fintech marketers face in 2024 :

    • Market correction : With fewer rounds and longer times between them, securing funds is a major challenge for fintech businesses. F-Prime’s The 2024 State of Fintech Report warns of “a high probability of significant shutdowns in 2024 and 2025,” highlighting the importance of allocating resources and budgets effectively.
    • Contraction : Aside from VC funding decreasing by 64% in 2023, the payments category now attracts a large majority of fintech investment, meaning there’s a smaller share from a smaller pot to go around for everyone else.
    • Competition : The biggest names in finance have navigated heavy disruption from startups and, for the most part, emerged stronger than ever. Meanwhile, fintech is no longer Wall Street’s hottest commodity as investors turn their attention to AI.
    • Regulations : Regulatory scrutiny of fintech intensified in 2023 – particularly in the US – contributing to the “regulation on, risk off” summary of F-Prime’s report.
    • Investor scrutiny : With market and industry challenges intensifying, investors are putting their money behind “safer” ventures that demonstrate real, sustainable profitability, not short-term growth.
    • Customer loyalty : Even in traditional baking and finance, switching is surging as customers seek providers who better meet their needs. To achieve the sustainable growth investors are looking for, fintech startups need to know their ideal customer profile (ICP), tailor their products/services and fintech marketing campaigns to them, and retain them throughout the customer lifecycle.

    (Source)

    The good news for fintech marketers is that the market correction is leveling out in 2024. In The 2024 State of Fintech Report, F-Prime says that “heading into 2024, we see the fintech market amid a rebound,” while McKinsey expects fintech revenue to grow “almost three times faster than those in the traditional banking sector between 2023 and 2028.”

    Winning back investor confidence won’t be easy, though. F-Prime acknowledges that investors are prioritising high-performance fintech ventures, particularly those with high gross margins. Fintech marketers need to abandon the growth-at-all-costs mindset and switch to a data-driven optimisation, growth and revenue system.

    7 fintech marketing strategies

    Given the current state of the fintech industry and relatively low levels of investor confidence, fintech marketers’ priority is building a new culture of sustainable profit. This starts with rethinking priorities and switching up the marketing goals to reflect longer-term ambitions.

    So, here are the fintech marketing strategies that matter most in 2024.

    1. Optimise for profitability over growth at all costs

    To progress from the growth-at-all-cost mindset, fintech marketers need to optimise for different KPIs. Instead of flexing metrics like customer growth rate, fintech companies need to take a more balanced approach to measuring sustainable profitability.

    This means holding on to existing customers – and maximising their value – while they acquire new customers. It also means that, instead of trying to make everyone a target customer, you concentrate on targeting the most valuable prospects, even if it results in a smaller overall user base.

    Optimising for profitability starts with putting vanity metrics in their place and pinpointing the KPIs that represent valuable business growth :

    • Gross profit margin
    • Revenue growth rate
    • Cash flow
    • Monthly active user growth (qualify “active” as completing a transaction)
    • Customer acquisition cost
    • Customer retention rate
    • Customer lifetime value
    • Avg. revenue per user
    • Avg. transactions per month
    • Avg. transaction value

    With a more focused acquisition strategy, you can feed these insights into every company level. For example, you can prioritise customer engagement, revenue, retention, and customer service in product development and customer experience (CX).

    To ensure all marketing efforts are pulling towards these KPIs, you need an attribution system that accurately measures the contribution of each channel.

    Marketing attribution (aka multi-touch attribution) should be used to measure every touchpoint in the customer journey and accurately credit them for driving revenue. This helps you allocate the correct budget to the channels and campaigns, adding real value to the business (e.g., social media marketing vs content marketing).

    Example : Mastercard helps a digital bank acquire 10 million high-value customers

    For example, Mastercard helped a digital bank in Latin America achieve sustainable growth beyond customer acquisition. The fintech company wanted to increase revenue through targeted acquisition and profitable engagement metrics.

    Strategies included :

    • A more targeted acquisition strategy for high-value customers
    • Increasing avg. spend per customer
    • Reducing acquisition cost
    • Customer retention

    As a result, Mastercard’s advisors helped this fintech company acquire 10 million new customers in two years. More importantly, they increased customer spending by 28% while reducing acquisition costs by 13%, creating a more sustainable and profitable growth model.

    2. Use web and app analytics to remotivate users before they disengage

    Engagement is the key to customer retention and lifetime value. To prevent valuable customers from disengaging, you need to intervene when they show early signs of losing interest, but they’re still receptive to your incentivisation tactics (promotions, rewards, milestones, etc.).

    By integrating web and app analytics, you can identify churn patterns and pinpoint the sequences of actions that lead to disengaging. For example, you might determine that customers who only log in once a month, engage with one dashboard, or drop below a certain transaction rate are at high risk for churn.

    Using a tool like Matomo for web and app analytics, you can detect these early signs of disengagement. Once you identify your churn risks, you can create triggers to automatically fire re-engagement campaigns. You can also use CRM and session data to personalize campaigns to directly address the cause of disengagement, e.g., valuable content or incentives to increase transaction rates.

    Example : Dynamic Yield fintech re-engagement case study

    In this Dynamic Yield case study, one leading fintech company uses customer spending patterns to identify those most likely to disengage. The company set up automated campaigns with personalised in-app messaging, offering time-bound incentives to increase transaction rates.

    With fully automated re-engagement campaigns, this fintech company increased customer retention through valuable engagement and revenue-driving actions.

    3. Identify the path your most valuable customers take

    Why optimise web experiences for everyone when you can tailor the online journey for your most valuable customers ? Use customer segmentation to identify the shared interests and habits of your most valuable customers. You can learn a lot about customers based on where the pages they visit and the content they engage with before taking action.

    Use these insights to optimise funnels that motivate prospects displaying the same customer behaviours as your most valuable customers.

    Get 20-40% more data with Matomo

    One of the biggest issues with Google Analytics and many similar tools is that they produce inaccurate data due to data sampling. Once you collect a certain amount of data, Google reports estimates instead of giving you complete, accurate insights.

    This means you could be basing important business decisions on inaccurate data. Furthermore, when investors are nervous about the uncertainty surrounding fintech, the last thing they want is inaccurate data.

    Matomo is the reliable, accurate alternative to Google Analytics that uses no data sampling whatsoever. You get 100% access to your web analytics data, so you can base every decision on reliable insights. With Matomo, you can access between 20% and 40% more data compared to Google Analytics.

    Matomo no data sampling

    With Matomo, you can confidently unlock the full picture of your marketing efforts and give potential investors insights they can trust.

    4. Reduce onboarding dropouts with marketing automation

    Onboarding dropouts kill your chance of getting any return on your customer acquisition cost. You also miss out on developing a long-term relationship with users who fail to complete the onboarding process – a hit on immediate ROI and, potentially, long-term profits.

    The onboarding process also defines the first impression for customers and sets a precedent for their ongoing experience.

    An engaging onboarding experience converts more potential customers into active users and sets them up for repeat engagement and valuable actions.

    Example : Maxio reduces onboarding time by 30% with GUIDEcx

    Onboarding optimisation specialists, GUIDEcx helped Maxio cut six weeks off their onboarding times – a 30% reduction.

    With a shorter onboarding schedule, more customers are committing to close the deal during kick-off calls. Meanwhile, by increasing automated tasks by 20%, the company has unlocked a 40% increase in capacity, allowing it to handle more customers at any given time and multiplying its capacity to generate revenue.

    5. Increase the value in TTFV with personalisation

    Time to first value (TTFV) is a key metric for onboarding optimisation, but some actions are more valuable than others. By personalising the experience for new users, you can increase the value of their first action, increasing motivation to continue using your fintech product/service.

    The onboarding process is an opportunity to learn more about new customers and deliver the most rewarding user experience for their particular needs.

    Example : Betterment helps users put their money to work right away

    Betterment has implemented a quick, personalised onboarding system instead of the typical email signup process. The app wants to help new customers put their money to work right away, optimising for the first transaction during onboarding itself.

    It personalises the experience by prompting new users to choose their goals, set up the right account for them, and select the best portfolio to achieve their goals. They can complete their first investment within a matter of minutes and professional financial advice is only ever a click away.

    Optimise account signups with Matomo

    If you want to create and optimise a signup process like Betterment, you need an analytics system with a complete conversion rate optimisation (CRO) toolkit.

    6. Use gamification to drive product engagement

    Gamification can create a more engaging experience and increase motivation for customers to continue using a product. The key is to reward valuable actions, engagement time, goal completions, and the small objectives that build up to bigger achievements.

    Gamification is most effective when used to help individuals achieve goals they’ve set for themselves, rather than the goals of others (e.g., an employer). This helps explain why it’s so valuable to fintech experience and how to implement effective gamification into products and services.

    Example : Credit Karma gamifies personal finance

    Credit Karma helps users improve their credit and build their net worth, subtly gamifying the entire experience.

    7. Personalise loyalty programs for retention and CLV

    Loyalty programs tap into similar psychology as gamification to motivate and reward engagement. Typically, the key difference is that – rather than earning rewards for themselves – you directly reward customers for their long-term loyalty.

    That being said, you can implement elements of gamification and personalisation into loyalty programs, too. 

    Example : Bank of America’s Preferred Rewards

    Bank of America’s Preferred Rewards program implements a tiered rewards system that rewards customers for their combined spending, saving, and borrowing activity.

    The program incentivises all customer activity with the bank and amplifies the rewards for its most active customers. Customers can also set personal finance goals (e.g., saving for retirement) to see which rewards benefit them the most.

    Conclusion

    Fintech marketing needs to catch up with the new priorities of investors in 2024. The pre-pandemic buzz is over, and investors remain cautious as regulatory scrutiny intensifies, security breaches mount up, and the market limps back into recovery.

    To win investor and consumer trust, fintech companies need to drop the growth-at-all-costs mindset and switch to a marketing philosophy of long-term profitability. This is what investors want in an unstable market, and it’s certainly what customers want from a company that handles their money.
