Overview  
           
  eBenchmarkers' Telephone Retail Banking benchmark was launched in October 2003. Consistent with other eBenchmarkers' studies it reports twice yearly: the Spring indicators are based on April data and the Autumn indicators are based on October data.

The benchmark was launched with 8 participants drawn from all areas of the retail banking landscape. In addition to the channel-specific analysis included in the study, participant overlap between the Telephone Retail and Online Retail Banking benchmarks allows for an informative comparison of performance between the two channels.




 
    Participants receive written reports and facilitated in-company workshops of key findings, covering:
Call centre focus
The balance of activity between sales and servicing is an important consideration int he evaluation of overall performance.
No of customers
