Due to fierce competition in the banking sector, where the competitive struggle to win larger market share and attract the largest possible number of customers is constantly being led, and taking into account poorly differentiated offer of banks, adequate customer relationship management is a fundamental tool for achieving better business results
Contemporary financial service industry has become highly dynamic and turbulent, with many changes in form of new regulations, changed consumer behavior, increased usage of information and communication technology and intense competition.
Banks have to invest great effort’s to create added value and one way to do that is to generate and support the development of long-term customer relationships that provide greater value than the value provided by the banking product itself. Building of any added value is hard to achieve nowadays since competitors’ activities, which are often very similar, erode added value of any business.
Even though banking industry has faced significant changes in different business segments during the last two decades, such as: distribution changes (with greater usage of ATMs, PCs, Internet, mobile banking), reduction of transaction costs, increased speed of service substantially, managing of supplier-customer relationships is still one of the crucial issues in banking industry
Besides such changes on the providers’ side, important changes appeared also on the customers’ side. Customers have become more demanding, empowered to perform some activities that were previously handled solely by banks, more knowledgeable, sophisticated, aware of available alternatives, independent, in a position to negotiate with many different service providers and similar.
Under the influence of such changes in customer behaviour and their needs, and with the goal to gain and maintain market competitiveness, banks invest a lot of financial, technological and human resources in customer relationship management (CRM)
