The Project
Sandy Spring Bank was founded in 1868 as a cooperative for Quaker farmers to lend financial assistance to their neighbors. Since then, it has evolved into a distinguished financial leader known for delivering high-quality services to its customers and communities.
The bank was eager to accomplish three core objectives:
Provide a modern yet friendly experience for their customers
Appeal to a broader range of prospects with diverse needs
Improve its online reputation and its customer loyalty and satisfaction as measured by Net Promoter Scores
Sandy Spring Bank’s website required a complete transformation, inside and out.
Results
Research and the subsequent analyses found a need for an expansive online information hub to drive more users to the website for self-service options. A primary aim was to reduce the number of calls, wait times, and complaints from customers.
The award-winning new site delivers:
An enhanced user experience, having eliminated legacy integrations and third-party interfaces that created friction for users
Friendly interfaces with persona-driven navigation and messaging
A fully searchable and optimized library that also serves as the engine for the site’s chatbots and personalized content
Critical security features and protections for financial services organizations and their customers
