Consumers today have the power to book a room across the country, hail a ride to anywhere they want to go, or order nearly any product or service to be delivered to their doorstep – and all of this can be accomplished with just a couple of taps on a smartphone or tablet. In this digitally optimized environment, there’s no longer any room for credit unions to serve up suboptimal user experience via the digital channels offered to members.
That’s because now, and most certainly into the future, digital is the branch. A superior member experience means a superior digital experience – there’s no getting around it. In fact, an online survey facilitated by The Harris Poll on behalf of D3 Banking Technology found that 32 percent of those who have used digital banking in the past 12 months would be willing to leave their current banking relationship for one with an easier digital experience. When credit unions leverage legacy, siloed technology – which many still do – they often can’t provide the features, functionality and user interface that members today expect.

Tech giants like Google and Facebook continue to invest time, money and energy into the development of their algorithms. As a result, search engine optimization (SEO) trends and marketing tactics are constantly changing.

That’s why it’s important to maintain a firm grasp on the latest e-commerce SEO trends as they emerge and leverage them so you can start 2019 at the top.

Price is not the primary driver for large employers that are choosing among benefits administration technology platforms. Ease of use for benefits administrators and employees and the ability to integrate benefits technology with HR information systems were higher priorities than cost for HR respondents, a national survey of primarily Fortune 1000 companies shows.

It is no longer enough to merely provide a desktop responsive website for mobile devices; today’s consumers demand more. Getting the mobile experience right is vital, with more online searches taking place on mobile and mobile-first indexing from Google, you simply cannot afford to leave it as an afterthought.
Mobile users are no longer considered as rushing and ‘on the go’; they use their smartphones all the time. Beyond just being the nearest device to hand, the smartphone provides an instant and accessible connection to each and every type of media that users want to consume.
