Spreading the Word about Your Mobile Banking App - Part 2


By Amy Neale

This is the second half of a two-part blog.

The best approach to take when promoting your credit union’s mobilebanking app? A holistic one. It needs to fire on all channels of member engagement for the greatest impact:

  • Website It’s not enough to just mention you offer mobile banking, create a whole page on your website stating that you have it, how to get it and how to use it.
  • Social mediaWhatever social media platforms your credit union uses, post a reminder about once a week that you have mobile banking with links to the app stores. Most people check their Facebook status, etc. on their smartphones, so it’s a natural place to tell them about your app.
  • Email and direct mailDon’t just email your members about your mobile banking, use a descriptive postcard to get the word out.
  • In-branch – From lobby posters and frontline staff to your branch ATMs, these are all valuable channels to let members know about your app and how easy it is to use.
  • Video What better way to walk your members through how to get and use your mobile app than a straightforward video tutorial?

The key to successfully promoting a mobile banking app is to take a comprehensive approach and not stop once it’s launched.
