438) The $100 Million Problem: Calculating the Financial Impact of Abandoned Applications

Banking on Digital Growth

In this episode of the Practical Perspectives series we share how a regional bank’s 67% abandonment rate on personal loans translates into a staggering loss of $100 million annually in interest income. The situation is further amplified by the fact that the brand is investing in paid advertisements to drive traffic to these pages, and only 25% of users are even attempting the application process.

Join us as we discuss how small, incremental optimizations (like a mere 5% increase in application starts and a similar reduction in abandonment rates) can potentially recapture millions in lost interest income annually. Addressing and optimizing even the seemingly minor aspects of the digital customer journey can lead to substantial revenue recovery and growth for financial brands.
