Summary: | The objective of the Customer Management
in Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Banking Guide is to
share and disseminate critical information for managing the
SME client relationship, allowing banks that already serve
the SME sector to move beyond lending to better capture the
SME Banking opportunity. This Guide leverages IFC s SME
Banking Diagnostic framework used to assess SME banking
operations, as well as its SME Banking Benchmarking exercise
used to analyze good practice business models. In addition,
the Guide provides practical examples of customer management
focused on SME banking from a number of featured financial
institutions. Such examples may serve to highlight a good
practice, or may simply serve to illustrate a learning
experience. Financial institutions featured in this
publication include Bankinter, DBS Bank, Diamond Bank,
Garanti Bank, ICICI Bank, Banco Santander, and Türk Ekonomi
Bankasi (TEB). Additional SME banking experiences are drawn
from a variety of other banks and are cited throughout the
text as appropriate. Profitably serving the SME segment
requires a tailored customer management approach that will
allow banks to answer these four questions: How can banks
better understand SME customer needs? How can they match
diverse needs with the right offer, service level, and
delivery channel? How can customer management be used to
maximize the revenue opportunity when servicing this market
segment? How can banks effectively manage SME customers
across their life-cycle? This guide will address these
questions as well as take the reader through the customer
life-cycle to target and acquire new SME clients. |
