Reviewing Continental European Banks' Sales Sites

Continental European Banks Fail To Offer Compelling User Experiences

by Tim van Tongeren

with Jaap Favier, Brad Strothkamp

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

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.
