Sweden Retail Banking Analysis Report Overview 

The following personas have been created through a cluster analysis (Calinski-Harabasz criterion) of GlobalData’s 2022 Financial Services Consumer Survey, to understand Swedish survey respondents and their attitudes, preferences, and unmet needs. These personas have been created using three core attributes: age, marital status, and their preferred financial services (FS) provider type, i.e. traditional banks and credit unions or alternative providers such as digital challenger banks, Big Tech, fintech, digital wallets, and retailers.

Based on the consumer profiles covered in this report a few general results can be compiled. For example, most customers conduct their banking digitally either on a mobile app or on a provider’s website. However, despite the digitalization of retail banking, consumers generally still hold a reasonably strong preference for the use of branches when it comes to big tasks like applying for a mortgage. The advantage of this report lies in the findings that are unique to individual profiles.

Sweden Retail Banking - Customer Personas

The key customer personas in the Sweden retail banking sector are Older Gen Z, Gen X, Boomer, Younger Millennial, and Millennial. 

Older Gen Z : Older Gen Z is open to switching between banks depending on the rewards and prices they are willing to offer, as he is unhappy with his current bank with which he has been banking for over five years. He prefers digital challenger banks over traditional banks. His long-term goal is to save money for a deposit on a house. He wants a bank that will provide him with good savings rates and tools to help him better manage his finances so he can pursue this goal. He is currently among the less affluent groups in the market and has recently experienced a time of financial hardship. Despite this, he is the customer most willing to pay for a premium account offered by his bank and holds a wide range of investment products.

Gen X: Gen X remains confident in traditional banks and they are the preferred choice in regard to her current account. Despite using online and mobile banking much more frequently than in-person banking, she still feels traditional banks are more trustworthy and will use branches for important banking activities. She is focused on making sure her children are safe in the future in case of any untoward incidences and wants to make sure she has an emergency fund saved. This is incorporated in saving for her retirement plans; she wants to be financially stable and not have to worry as she becomes older.

Boomer: Boomer is the oldest persona of the Swedish profiles, and his preference lies with traditional providers. Mark has children who are no longer dependent on him, meaning he now has extra disposable income each month. He is closing in on retirement age and would like to save and invest the extra money he has now to make sure that he is financially stable when he stops working. He prefers branch banking for many of his banking activities but is open to becoming more digitally proficient so he can use more of the digital features his bank provides. He would like his bank to help him more with his digital banking, teaching him how to maximize the benefits he can receive from the products and features offered.

Younger Millennial: Young Millennial has recently bought a house with her husband and is looking to start a family in the near future. She has just made her first large purchase and is looking to save money to support her future family and to pay for other large purchases of her choice. She currently banks with digital providers as she feels they provide her with better rates and prices for the features that she uses. She feels better protected online by digital challengers, which is another reason for her preferences as she banks more frequently online than in person. She would like her bank to provide her with better financial clarity, which will improve her decision-making in terms of spending in accordance with her financial goals.

Sweden Retail Banking – Channel Preferences for Banking Activities

The key channel preferences in the retail banking market in Sweden are in-branch, telephone, online, mobile, video chat, instant message, and chatbot. Older Gen Z’s highest area of satisfaction with their current provider is the navigation of the digital platform and the wide range of products that they are currently being offered. One of the strongest retention areas of the bank includes the satisfying products and services offered to the Older Gen Z. However, the Older Gen Z values having a seamless experience when switching between the different services while conducting their banking activities. This is one of their key areas of dissatisfaction for Older Gen Z- digital problem resolution and the simplicity of movement between digital and physical channels.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
