Looking Ahead: Keys to Success in 2025

From this to this

As banking continues to evolve, financial institutions that can deliver highly personalized experiences across channels will be best positioned for success. Based on Q2’s research and Dominguez’s insights, here are a few key focus areas:

  1. Leverage data to truly understand customers and anticipate their needs.
  2. Simplify complex processes and terminology, especially for younger consumers.
  3. Find the right balance of digital convenience and human touch.
  4. Use AI to enhance rather than replace human interactions.
  5. Offer small business capabilities to serve entrepreneurial younger generations.
  6. Create seamless omnichannel experiences that allow customers to bank how and when they want.

By focusing on these areas, banks and credit unions can build deeper, more valuable relationships with customers of all ages. Dominguez concludes: “The key is for a financial institution to create primacy. I must take the trust already in place and deliver a much tighter and more personalized engagement with my account holders.”

Financial institutions that rise to this challenge will be well-positioned to grow and retain relationships through the massive generational wealth transfer on the horizon and beyond.

The regulator now requires credit unions to establish succession planning for critical positions in their organizations. But it’s likely to have even wider effects, such as preserving more independent charters and shaking up the perspectives of those on credit union boards. “Voluntary mergers can be used to create economies of scale to offer more or ...
