The introduction of Smart Banking in Japan was a watershed moment. With the industry ripe for change, our work with Citi took the banking experience to a place that was unrecognizable—for all the right reasons.
Creating a fundamental shift in Citibank’s customer experience required a design approach that integrated all aspects of the business.
A channel strategy made relevant to customers’ needs and lives. A new ecosystem, ranging from mobile to multistory, with facilities when and where the customer need them. Architecture that created a revolutionary new design posture and experience. Faster, more personal interactions. A core set of values that required rethinking the products and services, environments, behaviors, technology and communications. Every aspect of the brand and every touch point was included in a strategic solution designed to increase customer satisfaction and take Citibank into the future.
Building a new customer experience required Citibank to modularize their technology platform, build new touch points specific to the customer’s mode of living, create a palette of applications, and provide the customer with the tools they need.
The Citibank User Interface is an integral part of the Smart Banking approach, conceived to make banking more relevant by bringing simplicity, ease-of-use and personalization. The digital user interface informs customers about product and service options, facilitates sales and automates standard banking transactions.
