tailored compensation schemes network model must be designed with
careful consideration to differentiated
formats and integrated in a multichannel
view that is able to maintain territorial
coverage, react to local customer needs
and optimize skills and capabilities. This
extends beyond full-service branches and
hubs to include light branches (with an
average of 4-5 employees), kiosks and
cash-less branches. By migrating low-
value activities to digital channels and
retail-based formats, banks can satisfy
new customer segments and further
overall branch network transformation.

An efficient “hub and spoke” branch
model can help enable a bank to decrease
the branches in its overall network by
15-20 percent and reduce average branch
staff by 25 percent with the proper mix
of flagship, full-service, light and kiosk
branches. Furthermore, by specializing in
specific services or activities, each branch
format is able to deliver a more tailored
customer experience and, ultimately, help
increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
