NRI Banking Customer Experience Survey

CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most NRI banks don't lose customers purely on interest rates. They underperform due to onboarding friction, remittance opacity, weak relationship support, and inconsistent digital access, none of which fully show up in complaints or transaction dashboards.

Remittance Corridor Proposition Positioning Study (Gulf to India)
NRI Wealth Advisory Bundle Exploration Study (United Kingdom)
Remittance Corridor Proposition Positioning Study (Gulf to India)
OBJECTIVE
A regional bank needed to understand how Gulf-based salaried NRIs , small business owners , and frequent family remitters compared bank transfers, exchange houses, and fintech apps across speed, transparency, reliability, and recipient convenience.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured online survey across three Gulf markets, balancing salary bands , remittance frequency , and primary provider. We captured channel usage, switching triggers, fee sensitivity, delivery expectations, and message response.
DELIVERED
The work produced a corridor preference map , channel lever framework , and message territories showing where bank-led propositions could differentiate on fee clarity, transfer assurance, digital ease, and recipient-side support across key segments.
