1. Banks face long lasting challenges including margin squeeze, reduced customer engagement and the threat of digital new entrants 2. Banks need to build loyalty now both through deeper digital engagement and cross-sales 3. Offering cash-back and rewards is costly and should be closely linked to profitability 4. Engaging customer digitally should mean delivering value that is simple, relevant and pro-active 5. Customers are willing to pay for digital features that improve transparency, convenience and decision making such as smart budgeting tools 6. Banks should communicate with customers coherently and avoid overloading customers with excessive information
