The art of banking is balance

To align with HSBC's strategy of being "The world's leading local bank" and a major UK high street retailer, we were tasked with enhancing the in-branch customer experience. During our audit, we identified several areas for improvement. In response, we developed innovative concept sketches for branch design and media promotional materials.

Key elements of our branch audit included evaluating technology integration, improving wayfinding, and creating clear zoning to better guide customers. We recommended positioning the Customer Service desk prominently and introducing modern Consultation Hubs to serve as 'Brand Ambassadors,' reinforcing the retail focus and driving the bank's sales strategy.
