Delivering great digital experiences is the name of the game.

But meeting customer expectations is easier said than done.

Let’s find out why …

More accounts. More problems.

Regardless of region, most consumers maintain 10 to 20 active accounts at any one time. The emphasis here is on “active” — consumers likely have many unmaintained accounts that create security risks and contribute to account churn.

By the
numbers

As digital transactions continue to play a larger role in our lives, the number of accounts we need to manage grows too.

75%

of consumers have 10 or more active accounts

35%

The hidden costs of passwords

Consumers will spend more when they encounter less friction, like passwords, during the login process. This holds true across industries and regions.

By the
numbers

Nothing causes more friction than passwords, and so trouble starts the moment customers set up an account.

33%

of consumers find creating passwords that meet certain requirements frustrating

63%

of consumers report that at least once a month they’re unable to log in to an account because they forgot their username or password


Consumers value control over convenience

 

Customers want personalized experiences, but they also want control over their information. When asked to choose between the two, consumers favored maintaining control — especially for transactions in financial services and insurance, healthcare, and the public sector.
