At the current levels of maturity of the banking market, domestic banks have struggled fairly hard for customers. This is due to the realization that the future and long-term results of any bank depend on customer loyalty and the stability of relations with them. Therefore, a modern bank can no longer build an effective business strategy, relying only on the classical model of customer service. Experience forces credit institutions to modernize the mechanisms and technologies for providing services to customers, to look for innovative approaches. In an interview with our magazine, the Chairman of the Board of JSCIB «Ipoteka-Bank» INOMJONOV Elyor spoke about the development of a system of high-quality customer service.

The implemented principle of customer focus involves the bank’s orientation not to its product as it is, but to the real needs of customers, consequently, requires a clear statement of the bank’s goals, the formation of ways and means to achieve them, as well as the development of specific measures for the implementation of plans within the gradation of existing and potential client groups. In addition, the bank’s customer focus determines its ability to extract additional profit through a deep understanding and effective satisfaction of customer needs.
