BES Episode 4: Keep, Close or Transform? A 3-Step Methodology for Making Branch Investment Decisions 
Date: Thursday, July 23rd @ 3 pm Eastern

Joe Sullivan This month I'll be joined by Market Insights' CEO and Founder, Joe Sullivan to talk about your bank's branch strategy in today's "digital world" of online access and Internet connectivity.

Changing demographics and consumer behaviors combined with the onslaught of Silicon Valley inspired competitors has banks rethinking the purpose, value and role of their branches.

 

Banks nationwide are reducing their total number of branches as part of an ongoing response to high operating costs, increased digital channel adoption and constantly shifting consumer preferences. Nearly 1,500 bank branches were closed last year according to SNL Financial. Many executives who had, in recent years, grown accustomed to branch expansion are now wondering about the future viability of their branch network.

 
 

This session will lay out a proven methodology to help you prioritize your branch investments and provide a framework for making the tough decisions about keeping, closing, repurposing or improving branches within your network. Through case studies that involve hard data, forecasting models, consumer transactional behavior and common sense, the audience will learn the relevant data points, market factors, consumer behavioral shifts and competitive dynamics that are key to making these decisions.

 

Participants will walk away with a framework they can use to evaluate their branch delivery network.  I'm excited to have Joe joining us this month, so be sure to reserve your spot today !
