CASE STUDY OVERVIEW
First Bank (J&C Flowers & Co.) strives to provide its customers with a better customer experience and high-quality financial services by looking for new and innovative solutions. To ensure this, First Bank Romania has created a mobile banking application that provides users with increased flexibility, convenience, and control over their finances.
Despite the high number of app downloads, only a small percentage of users signed up for accounts and completed other desired actions. First Bank decided to use Footprints' cutting-edge AI models to improve the user experience and increase the likelihood of conversion among its users
BEFORE FOOTPRINTS AI
Drop-off or abandonment is a common issue in mobile banking app development. At First Bank, 87% of the mobile banking app users abandoned the onboarding process, while the conversion rate was approximately 13%.
Thus, the main problem that First Bank faced was a low conversion rate. Footprints AI analyzed and identified several potential issues preventing users from converting, following a clear & straightforward process:
- CONVERSION FUNNEL ANALYSIS
- AUTOMATED RETARGETING FLOWS SETUP
- TESTING & OPTIMIZATIONS
AFTER FOOTPRINTS AI
- CONVERSION RATE HAS INCREASED WITH 48%
- COST PER CONVESRION HAS DECREASED WITH 37%
The conversion rate for a mobile banking app is a metric that measures the percentage of app users who take a desired action, such as signing up for an account.
It is calculated by dividing the number of conversions (e.g. account sign- ups) by the total number of app users and expressing the result as a percentage.
