Key Highlights
Nationwide and Lloyds have the best overall records in the UK for cross-selling savings products. Nationwide has benefited from its strategy of offering preferential rates to its current account customers.
Savings account cross-holders with Barclays and HSBC are the most likely to be technophiles who view their provider as innovative. Nationwide cross-holders are the most likely to be fairness seekers in search of providers with simple products, that reward loyalty, and inform them of better deals.
In order to improve cross-selling performance, providers should improve integration between current accounts and savings accounts, offer monetary rewards to longstanding customers and those who hold multiple products, and introduce personal financial management tools that help consumers make the most of their money.
