Online Credit Card Shoppers' Paths To Purchase

Navigational And Survey Data Uncovers How Prospects Use Web Sites

This is the second document in the "How Consumers Use Financial Sites" series.

by Brad Strothkamp

with Bruce D. Temkin, Peter Hult


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester examined how consumers use top credit card Web sites and search engines during their search for a credit card, analyzing the content, tools, and sales channels that lead to the highest conversion rates. We found that traditional banks like Chase and Citibank hold their own with monoline providers like Discover and Capital One at attracting prospects and applicants and converting site visitors. The use of portals like Yahoo! Finance and MSN Money do not play a significant role in the overall sales process. Finally, credit card applicants often use product selection tools and online applications.
