“Banking, as we know it, is fundamentally shifting,” says Brett King. “Consumers are demanding relevancy, simplicity, and the ability to transact and interact with financial service organizations whenever and wherever they are. I’m very bullish on ActivePath’s ActiveMail solution, enabling banks to embed offers and interactions within email and mobile messages without forcing me to go to their website or clicking on a link. Engaging customers in real time based on context is the future of financial services; this is compared with the current strategy of most banks which is more akin to saying, ‘come and find us if you need something and we might let you be our customer!’ I’m looking forward to collaborating with Active Path in creating compelling customer journeys.”
