关系银行
近年来,金融服务业的一个更为隐蔽的趋势是采用旨在鼓励机构员工及其客户,特别是主要储户之间更个性化关系的计划。最常用于描述项目类型的表达是“关系银行业务”。1985年出版的《市场营销金融服务:
在关系银行业务中,重点是建立一种长期的、多种服务的关系;满足客户的全部金融需求;最大限度地减少客户将其金融业务分散到各个机构的需求或愿望。
在关系银行的任何定义中,隐含的是承认一个个人或关系集团的金融服务要求。因此,一个成功的关系银行项目在很大程度上是独立个体发展的一系列金融服务“一揽子计划”,每个计划都是为了满足相同群体的需求。
关系银行的另一个维度是员工与客户之间高度个性化的关系的发展。在今天的大多数金融机构中,无论交易的性质如何,客户都是由当时正好是自由的任何员工提供服务的。因此,很难建立个性化的关系。然而,在一个全面的关系银行项目中,客户知道机构中有一个人对客户的要求和对复杂交易的偏好有着密切的了解。随着时间的推移,客户对该员工建立了高度的信心。简而言之,客户和员工之间的个性化关系不断发展。
