  • In the UK, approximately 28% of remortgage searches in Q1 2024 were conducted by individuals aged over 50. This demographic of customers now need to borrow more money, for longer periods, later into their lifetime. How do you attract and deal with these customers and do you have the knowledge and skill in your business to look after them properly. Steve Humphries talks to some of the lenders in this sector to give you some insights into what you can do to help.

  • The Aviva protection proposition, service, customer focus and claims results align well to this purpose and provides customers with individual financial security for their tomorrow.

  • A customer portal can be a game-changer for both businesses and their customers. Here are some key reasons why having a customer portal is beneficial:

    Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Customers prefer self-service options for quick and simple tasks.

    Increased Efficiency: By providing a centralised hub for customer interactions, businesses can reduce the workload on their support teams.

    Cost Savings: With fewer support requests to handle, businesses can lower their operational costs.

    Improved Customer Engagement: A well-designed portal can offer personalised experiences, such as tailored recommendations and updates.

    Actionable Insights: A customer portal will provide valuable data on customer behaviour and preferences.

    24/7 Accessibility: A customer can access the portal at anytime from anywhere.

    Self-service customer portals not only improve the customer experience but can help boost customer retention and brand loyalty and lower operational costs.
