CIBC secured a decisive win with first-place finishes in the heavily weighted Ease of Use and Security Empowerment categories. RBC led all banks in Money Movement, while BMO delivered a strong overall performance across the evaluated criteria.“The digital banking landscape has become largely commoditized,” said Dylan Lerner, Senior Analyst at Javelin Strategy & Research. “The Canadian market is just now starting to see the level of fintech disintermediation that U.S. institutions have been combating for years.”Lerner adds that fintechs and neobanks have reset consumer expectations for digital financial experiences. “This year’s Scorecard is an urgent call-to-action for top banks to engage customers beyond daily transactional needs. It is critical for them to build ‘share of mind’ now to ensure they do not lose opportunities to grow share of wallet later.”Javelin’s Canadian Digital Banking Scorecards examine six categories of digital functionality, including Ease of Use, Security Empowerment, Money Movement, Customer Service, Financial Fitness, and Relationship Deepening. Each category is weighted according to an annual survey of Canadian consumer satisfaction with digital banking channels.About Javelin Strategy & Research Javelin Strategy & Research, part of Escalent, helps its clients make informed decisions in a digital financial world.
