Reviewing Continental European Banks' Sales Sites

Continental European Banks Fail To Offer Compelling User Experiences

by Tim van Tongeren

with Jaap Favier, Brad Strothkamp


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester reviewed the user experience on the sites of six large banks in Continental Europe — Crédit Agricole (France), Deutsche Postbank (Germany), la Caixa (Spain), UniCredit Banca (Italy), Credit Suisse (Switzerland), and Nordea (Sweden) — using our Competitive Site Assessment methodology. Our analysis showed that only Nordea offers a satisfactory user experience online. Although five out of six sites didn't make the cut overall, each one showed some best practices on subsets of their customer experience.
