The tracking will have a particular focus on onboarding, examining ways firms have successfully shepherded customers through the discovery, application and account setup processes, as well as on features that engage customers within the platform once they’re signed on.
Banks and investment firms, outpaced by start-ups that built the robo-advisory business model, can use the tracking and its behind-the-login views to grow services and strengthen market propositions.
