Nikolai Hack, COO Nucoro, said: “The coronavirus crisis has resulted in an increase in the level of communication between banks and their customers, and much of this has been carried out via digital channels.
“The level of knowledge and information banks have on their customers should increase and for those that are seen to rise to the challenge and really help their clients through these difficult times, the relationship will become stronger.
"Over the long-term, this should help banks market a wider range of products and services to their client base and develop new propositions.
"One obvious area here is around investment solutions.”
