Dublin, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "UK Retail Banking: Competitor Benchmarking 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report discusses the financial performance of the top 15 banks in the UK, looking at market shares for key retail banking products as well as underlying financial ratios. It analyzes the makeup of banks' customer bases as well as how successful banks are at cross-selling and upselling products to these customers.
Net Promoter Score and customers' likelihood of using their main bank to achieve financial goals are also considered when establishing the strength of relationships banks have with their customers. In addition, the report compares customer satisfaction across a range of digital and overall metrics to determine where players must improve. These findings form the basis of the actionable steps section, which provides analysis of the successes and failures of each provider covered in the report, as well as advice on how to address any failings.
Lloyds Banking Group remains the leading provider by market share across the main retail banking products, although new challengers such as Monzo and Starling are eating away at the share of traditional incumbents. Several banks have improved their cost-income ratios since 2018 despite recent inflationary challenges in the UK.
Starling stands out as the leading bank for Net Promoter Score; meanwhile, customers of First Direct are least likely to believe their bank can help them achieve their financial goals. Satisfaction with access to a branch or call center has declined each year since 2022. Satisfaction around digital problem resolution is also notably low, suggesting that banks are not doing enough to assist customers with problems despite having closed branches across the UK.
