The Data Digest: Affluent Consumers’ Financial Contact Needs
[Posted by Reineke Reitsma]
Affluent consumers have different expectations from their financial institution. Data from our Technographics online Affluent survey shows that while online affluent consumers prefer the Web over phone and in-person for getting balances and checking holdings, 58% prefer in-person meetings with their advisor for long-term financial goal planning.i
Affluent online consumers like to use the Web to update themselves on their investments, but they don't have a need for mobile tracking yet: A mere 6% of affluent consumers with a mobile phone are using mobile investing. The main reason: lack of urgency.
