But we saved everything 🙂.
Jim Marous, publisher at The Financial Brand, observes that Google has repeatedly entered and exited the banking sector by offering checking accounts, payments, and comparison tools.
This time, according to Marous, Google is changing its approach, moving away from developing core banking products and instead focusing on influencing the customer intent phase within financial services.
Marous has previously argued that banks face a greater risk from customer indifference than from active dislike, calling for renewed engagement in a prior analysis. He has also questioned whether traditional bank branches can turn a profit as standalone units and what unique value they offer beyond digital channels, according to a separate commentary. Both views highlight Marous’s focus on customer engagement within banking.
