Consumer Branch Monitor
Defying the many predictions for a branchless banking environment, branches continue to be an essential element of financial services delivery systems. The branch is a direct and personal link between the financial institution and the customer and is synonymous with the financial institution for many consumers. In order to analyze and track consumer usage and attitudes toward branches, SYNERGISTICS launched the monitor, Consumer Branch Monitor, in 2005. The monitor includes a series of multiphase research elements including background research, a national consumer survey, and a project report.
