A better Internet Bank? Who gets it right…

The article talks about how most Financial Institutions focus on the transactional aspect of Online Banking.  They dwell on the fact that a member wants to get in, work with their finances and get out.  While this is true, you are also missing an opportunity to target marketing to an existing member.  This is a member who already has an active relationship with you (otherwise they would not be in Online Banking) and you have information about this member to fine tune the marketing.

CU*Answers is already working to address this new marketing vector.  Today, you can market inside It’s Me 247 Online Banking with e-Info Banners from Xtend.  In the next year you’ll be able to really target a member with Smart Promos.  Teams are also discussing how a Next Suggested Product Engine would work in It’s Me 247 Online Banking and also including CU*OverDrive banners.

Read the article and if you have other ideas, let us here them in the comments.  Also, if you find other great articles like this, please share them with us.

According to the CUSO, this decision was made due to the rapidly changing needs of the Internet, and Microsoft ending mainstream support for these versions, including the implementation of important security updates for these outdated browsers.

CU*Answers has said that effective Monday, October 4, these browsers will no longer be supported.

A series of recommendations have been made which stress the importance of credit unions communicating this change and alternative solutions available to their members (updating their browser to a supported version or downloading another supported browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome).   Additionally, the CUSO has offered to assist by either sending an electronic message (email/online banking) via Member Connect, a service provided by the Xtend CUSO, as well as placing an article on the Online Banking Community (OBC) page that members see when they login.

The CUSO says that It’s Me 247 already presents a message every time a member logs on with an out of date browser that encourages them to upgrade, and that the Online Banking Use Agreement presented to members states, “Your computer must have installed browser software which utilizes appropriate security protections.”
