THE FUTURE OF THE BRANCH
September 2, 2010 - 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET
Speaker: Trent Fleming, Consultant

Significant, irreversible trends in payments are underway. One key change is the dramatic reduction in paper checks, especially for consumers. On-line account opening and Internet based lending capabilities are also moving to the forefront. Businesses can choose to deposit their checks electronically rather than visiting a branch. Many banks that have successfully deployed remote deposit have found that channel becoming the largest single source of deposits. Now is the time to evaluate the impact on your branches of dramatic reductions in traffic associated with changes in consumer and merchant behavior.

This session will take a look at how to conduct a branch utilization assessment and offer insight into strategies for maximizing the value of your branch investment, reducing costs, and even enhancing non-interest income through the introduction of new products and services via your branch channels.

Participants will gain insight into trends impacting branch utilization and profitability, enabling them to take an in-depth look at each location – current and proposed – with an objective view of the real value.
