MarketResearchReports.com: Self-Service Branch Banking Report reveals implementation strategies and best practices adopted by retail banks, New Report Launched

The retail banking industry’s banking channel has evolved from traditional full-service branch banking to alternate channels such as online, mobile and self-service. Full-service branches still play a key role in the distribution of banking products and services as banks rely on these branches to generate the vast majority of revenue. However, the operating expenses and infrastructural investments associated with full-service branches encourage banks to consider low-cost self-service branch banking to expand their market presence. Banks have redefined branch banking following the financial crisis in order to maintain operational efficiency and to improve overall financial performance. While full-service branches remain the primary contact point for customers, banks realize that the expansion of the branch model is not sustainable due to rising real estate costs and changing consumer preferences. Low-cost channels such as self-service, online and mobile banking have therefore been gaining momentum. These channels are adopted with the aim of cost-effectively expanding business in rural and unbanked areas.

The report provides market analysis, information and insights into self-service branch banking with global snapshot of self-service branch banking adopted by retail banks in developing and developed economies in the banking industry. Report also gives brief analysis of self-service branch banking trends and drivers and key operational opportunities and models adopted by retail banks globally.

Report also covers a comprehensive analysis of self-service branch banking business models adopted by retail banks and insight into the various trends seen in self-service branch banking. Operational, technological and regulatory drivers driving the growth of retail banks are also covered.

Key Highlights of this report

• The number of ATMs deployed in key countries increased during the review period (2008–2012), making them the most widely-used self-service banking model. In the US, the total number of ATMs increased from 425,010 in 2008 to 444,872 in 2012.
• The adoption of new technology enables banks to upgrade their branch banking models with advanced banking features and to distinguish themselves from competitors. Such features include biometric ATMs for secure banking transactions and contactless ATMs for faster transactions. Furthermore, the use of videoconferencing in ATMs enables interaction with bank employees for banking assistance.
• Retail banks around the world seek to expand their business footprints in unbanked and under-banked areas to target new customers and gain market share. However, the establishment of full-service branches is not always feasible for banks due to the costs associated with it, driving banks to adopt the self-service branch banking model to remain cost-effective. Banks set up these types of branches in remote areas and at places with high customer footfall such as stadiums, shopping malls, railway stations and marketplaces.
• The penetration of self-service branches has increased as banks are more reliant on offering quality service and enhanced customer experiences through facilities in these branches such as automated self-service kiosks, flagship branches, contactless ATMs and in-store self-service branches. Consumers can now conduct around 80% of banking transactions through ATMs and other automated banking channels without staff assistance.

Given the current global growth prospects and weak domestic demand, Timetric expects the Spanish economy to contract by 1.5% in 2013 before recording positive growth of 0.8% in 2014. The weak labor market conditions are expected to directly affect personal income and consumer purchasing power in 2013. However, the economy is expected to improve in 2014 as the recently presented 2014 budget eases some of the austerity measures with the projected recovery in sight.

At the end of June 2013, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism launched Spain’s new official tourism website: spain.info. The site is now more an interactive tool, making it easier for tourists to use and navigate. Tourists can also book transport and lodging through the site, making it a key sales channel for Spanish tourism providers.

Football is a major attraction in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville, which have the largest stadiums in the country. The largest is the Camp Nou in Barcelona, with a capacity of over 99,000. Football enthusiasts frequently travel to Spain to see some of the world’s most celebrated teams play, and interest in football is constantly expanding. Five new large stadiums, with estimated capacities ranging between 32,000 and 75,000, will be built and opened by 2016 in Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Valencia and Palma de Mallorca.

The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism launched a campaign to promote domestic tourism in 2013. The campaign featured the slogan: “Spain, the destination that's part of you.” This initiative was taken to stimulate domestic tourist demand and encourage people to take advantage of Spain's diverse tourism offerings.

The Balearic Islands were the leading tourist destination in June 2013 with 1.7 million tourists visiting the region, 9% more than the previous year. The second-most-popular destination was Catalonia with 1.6 million tourists, up by 6.7%. Andalusia was visited by 817,221 inbound tourists which represents an annual growth of 2.5%.

For leisure tourism, the popular destinations for outbound Spanish tourists in 2011 were the UK, Italy, Germany and France. Most tourists visited these destinations on low-cost flights. Cruises also had a crucial role in 2011, and many outbound Spanish tourists aim to take at least one cruise in their lifetime.

International Airlines Group is positioning its budget carrier Vueling to grow in Spain with an order for 220 Airbus A320 medium-haul aircraft. In this up to 120 new aircraft will enable Vueling to continue its expansion and replace some of its older fleet by 2020. IAG also ordered 62 A320neo, a more fuel-efficient version set to come out in 2015, which could be used by British Airways, Iberia or Vueling.

Hotels in Andalucía and the Canary Islands have seen a significant rise in tourist arrivals and expenditure; Valencia recorded the strongest growth of 28%. In contrast, Madrid recorded a decrease in both tourist arrivals and expenditure in 2012, with a total of 3.4 million foreign arrivals.

A significant number of new electric rental cars are expected to be introduced in Spain in 2013, as a result of rising consumer price sensitivity and attempts by rental companies to broaden their services. The number of diesel- and petrol-powered cars will gradually decline over the coming years in favor of electric cars.

There is huge potential for growth in the Spanish travel intermediaries industry due to the country’s improving economy, increasing levels of leisure and business travel, and rapid development of e-commerce. The industry is expected to record lower prices for travel products, as travel intermediaries reduce their prices to compete with the large number of new entrants that are expected to enter the country over the forecast period.
