Retail banking provides easy and convenient access to banking services. Moreover, growth in penetration of internet usage and technological advancements globally contributes toward the growth of the retail bank loyalty market. The retail bank loyalty programs have been created to encourage customers to use the services of businesses of a bank that are part of the program. There are programs for almost every type of business, each with its own set of features and rewards schemes. In the global retail banking industry, loyalty programs have become one of the most important marketing tools.

In developed economies, retail banks offer a variety of loyalty programs, but many of them have become commoditized. As a result, banks have been forced to implement innovative programs to remain competitive and profitable. In the last five years, there has also been an increase in cost pressure due to new regulatory trends. Loyalty programs are seen as a critical revenue-generating tool that has been shown to lower customer acquisition costs. As evidenced by the relatively low loyalty program penetration rates in emerging economies, retail banking is still in its early stages. Therefore, the surge in demand for retail bank loyalty programs is expected to boost the growth of the retail bank loyalty market trends in the upcoming years.

Top Impacting Factors

The adoption of analytical tools to offer customized reward programs and the rise in the adoption of marketing and distribution strategies by banks to remain profitable are driving the growth of the market. In addition, banks offering programs at low-cost channels to achieve operational efficiency further propels growth. However, stringent regulations across key markets may put pressure on loyalty programs might limit the retail bank loyalty market expansion. On the contrary, increased adoption of retail bank loyalty programs among developed countries is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market in the upcoming years. 

Adoption of Analytical Tools to Offer Customized Reward Programs

Banks and other credit card issuers have traditionally offered reward programs based on a customer's income and demographic profile. Customers are now being segmented by banks based on their lifestyle choices and purchasing habits. In terms of adoption rates, the use of analytical tools to better understand consumer spending patterns and offer personalized reward programs has increased. The approach enables card issuers to launch customized programs for individual customers rather than blanket programs for all customers. This method also aids in identifying and isolating the most profitable customers, as well as phasing out programs that do not add significant value to the bank's overall business.

Furthermore, analytics are allowing banks to collaborate with merchants to offer location-based, real-time discounts. Therefore, the growing adoption of analytical tools to offer customized reward programs is driving the growth of the retail bank loyalty program market during the forecasted period.

Rise in Adoption of Marketing & Distribution Strategies by Banks to Remain Profitable

Banks have been changing their strategies and operational models to stay profitable, such as evaluating their existing loyalty program design frameworks to implement effective loyalty programs. This includes determining the best combination of funding options and reward offerings to boost customer loyalty and profitability. Merchant-funded loyalty programs have been developed by several banks in collaboration with merchants and retailers.

Banks are also evaluating cost-effective alternatives to traditional channels, such as mobile platforms and social media. Therefore, the increased adoption of marketing and distribution strategies by banks to remain profitable is driving the growth of the retail bank loyalty program market during the forecasted period.
