Banco Popular North America had launched new online banking solutions for small business owners, but a year later, most customers were still using personal banking accounts. Enrollment goals were not being met. Brenda joined to help the VP of Corporate Treasury Product Management improve the customer experience and drive adoption of the new product offerings.
Customers were unaware of the new B2B solutions or hesitant to switch from personal accounts.
Those interested faced obstacles with application, registration, and authentication—resulting in a lost opportunity of $8K per month.
Bank staff lacked tools to effectively support customers, and misalignment across departments caused high rates of rejected applications.
Customer & Staff Insights: Conducted discussions with Customer Service, Branch Managers, Product Managers, Operations, IT, and Creative Services to map the customer journey and pain points.
Workflow & Documentation: Mapped internal processes with customer touch points and created a visual matrix detailing required documents by solution package for use by branch managers, relationship managers, and cash management officers.
Communications & Training: Partnered with Creative Services and Product Managers to develop educational materials for 800 representatives and customers. Reframed security communications to build trust and designed an online training walkthrough for platform navigation.
Quality Assurance: Reviewed and corrected 20 discrepancies in customer surveys between English and Spanish versions to improve feedback accuracy.
Business platform enrollments increased by 150% across five markets, generating $600K in annual revenue.
Customers experienced a smoother, seamless journey through the sales funnel.
Staff benefited from improved workflows, documentation clarity, and cross-department alignment.
