Summary:
It’s finally happening, the rising rate environment has started. Financial institution executives are arming themselves with practical strategies to help succeed in a rising rate environment. But after almost 15 years, do you even recall what things looked during the last rising rate environment? Online banking existed, but wasn’t fully accepted by consumers, mobile banking hadn’t taken hold, and consumer banking behavior was substantially different.
This rising rate cycle will be different and consumer behavior has changed. Ease of online and mobile banking and consumers’ comfort with non-traditional financial services make them dramatically more vulnerable to your competitions offers. What promotional offers will be most effective and, with easy access to financial service information at their fingertips, what will it take to trigger consumer action? Are you prepared to compete in this environment?
Join Paul Needels and Ray Montague of Informa Research Services as they present Navigating the Rising Rate Environment for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, June 21, 2018.
