To continue strengthening its branding and goodwill among customers, CIMB must:
1) Improve its credit card offerings to stay competitive by expanding cash rebates to online spending without minimum transaction amounts and maintaining high rebate levels.
2) Leverage corporate social responsibility initiatives to increase brand awareness, drive customer acquisition, and build loyalty by sponsoring events that appeal to target audiences and give back to the community.
3) Enhance its digital capabilities as high digital usage correlates with customer loyalty.

Why Knowing Profitability Is the Key to Success at Your InstitutionBaker Hill
Most financial institutions don’t understand that the majority of their relationships are not profitable. This results in poor strategic planning especially when dealing with issues with the balance sheet. Senior Management has to understand and deal with different types of risk, along with income statement stagnation in these times of rising interest rates.

Conclusion
Quantitative and Qualitative
Quantitative: Maximise consumer engagement through all
channels, including digitally.
Qualitative: Increase bank’s distinctive brand awareness and
brand image through sponsorship of high profile and giving
back events.
There’s no substitute for a strong brand reputation. It takes time to build, and it’s hard to regain if it falters. That sentiment has special relevance for banks, especially after the last financial crisis. Whether because of hidden costs, hard-to-understand contract terms, a lack of customer service or awareness of instances of corruption around the industry, their confidence in their banks has been shaken. And as choice increases, customer perceptions about individual brands are becoming increasingly important for long-term success.
Strong brand:
3x more market share then a brand with moderate reputation
higher loyalty rates, less vulnerable to competitive market activities
Cap – prevent use on unusually large ticket items like cars / down payment for tours/holidays
Minimum – encourage spending! But min per transactions causes inconveniences
Rebate – costs $$!
Expanding to other – Singaporeans spend $415 on restaurants – and if only attractive deal, they use our cards on average 8 times a month, online is next largest spending at $395 a month (after transport)
Remove minimum $50 per transaction
Increase cap to $80 (monthly spending up to $2k)
Why online spending? – Largest spending category with almost $400 a month
Why retain can still be attractive? Yes 1.2% lower than the next best, but can combine both online and dining instead of online for FRANK or dining only for ANZ.
The reason we choose to target the ageing population is because to attract the mass affluent clients who can relate to or feel connected to the pioneers of Singapore.
STAND OUT WITH A DISTINCTIVE IMAGE
The value of a specific brand is derived from a few indicators, but brand image carries 51 percent of the weight, making a distinctive image a critical way to differentiate your brand. Nielsen research shows that well-branded advertising communicates its brand through audio and video, and it uses brand cues early and often. It often also uses mnemonic devices—iconic characters or music that immediately identify the brand.
MAXIMIZE CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT ACROSS VARIOUS CHANNELS
High top-of-mind awareness is one of the leading indicators of high brand equity, proving that understanding how to connect with consumers across touch points is the cornerstone of growth for the industry. With the rapidly evolving tech landscape, consumers are interacting with their retail banks in more diverse ways than ever before—at branches, ATMs, on their mobile phones, with their tablets and on the web. The takeaway for all industries—including financial services—is that interacting with customers is imperative, and so is capitalizing on opportunities to engage with them, build awareness, drive discovery and ultimately affect sales.
OFFER RELEVANT AND PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCES
In recent years, companies have created experiences that adjust automatically, respond in real time, predict problems before they occur and deliver tailored services to consumers. These advancements have created new standards for customer interaction and leveled the customer service playing field in the process. So while reputation remains a key driver of brand equity, our research shows that relevance (“bank for me”), customer focus, experience and expertise are also important differentiators.
