Online Banking Usability Survey
Evaluate how retail banking customers navigate essential tasks, compare available service paths, and choose between self-service and assisted support across online banking journeys, so you can improve conversion, retention, and channel strategy.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most banking customers don't abandon online journeys purely on fees. They fail due to confusing navigation, unclear labels, authentication friction, broken flows, and inconsistent device experiences, none of which surface fully in complaint logs or transaction reports.
If you are...
- Digital banking product leaders
- Customer experience heads
- Retail banking channel owners
- UX research & design teams

You're likely facing...
- High login success masks critical post-login abandonment across routine tasks
- Growing mobile and desktop inconsistency weakens cross-device customer confidence
- Service delays increase when self-service tasks fail without clear recovery
- Strong digital adoption still produces low task completion for complex journeys
- Limited visibility into segment-specific usability barriers constrains retention priorities
This will help answer...
- Highest-friction banking tasks
- Priority navigation fixes
- Segment usability differences
- Authentication recovery needs
- Channel migration opportunities
