Even in a digital world, branches still matter. Or not? 🤔 Let's break it down. When choosing a bank, only 23% of British customers say a nearby branch is essential. Compare that to the US (38%) and Europe (35%), where a physical presence still holds more value. But also... A 2024 global survey (EPAM Consumer Banking Report) found that 85% of bank customers worldwide visited a branch at least once in the past year, and 25% still go monthly. Even if most people bank online that doesn’t mean branches don’t matter. Some customers still want the option to visit, whether it’s for face-to-face advice or certain transactions.
