A report for Fiserv
published at the end of last year, highlighted that customers who
are connected to their lender via social media, have deeper
relationships with their financial institution.
The report said that
customers already linked or showing an interest in connecting to
their bank via social media, use an average of 5.4 banking
products, compared to 4.3 banking services for consumers who show
little interest in connecting.
