Episode 118: CX & COVID Impact

Distance, forced switch to online are only some of the ways customer experience changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meaghan Johnson discussed that with two financial sector experts.
– Natasha Kyprianides, fintech expert that supported both incumbent and challenge banks, explained that customer experience is a key to stand out and differentiate in competitive markets, especially thanks to fintech and challenger banks that raised customers’ expectations in digital customer experience.
– Catherine Richards, Head of Customer Design at Tesco Bank, exposed her experience, which is wider than the one in a typical bank because of the Tesco ecosystem that requires an integration effort but creates opportunities to integrate financial services in Tesco customers’ experience.
