Project overview

Preparing employees and customers for a major change in banking authentication.

For the launch of Secure Key, HSBC needed to successfully manage a sensitive change in the banking authentication journey. The challenge was to engage teams, train them quickly and communicate effectively so they could support and reassure customers as they adopted the new system.

Context

Successfully launching a new two-factor authentication system for banking.

HSBC was among the first banks to introduce two-factor authentication. The launch of Secure Key represented a major change in how customers secure their transactions and access online banking services.

In this context, HSBC was concerned about a significant risk of customer attrition. HSBC France management therefore made a strong commitment to preparing branch teams and supporting customers as they adopted the new solution.

E-learning for 4,300 branch employees
Scenario featuring a customer welcomed and guided by their adviser
Simulation published on the public website for customers and prospects
Initial results

A training programme deployed internally and also made available to the general public.

4,300 employees prepared

Branch employees were able to prepare to support customers through the different stages of the new authentication journey.

A realistic scenario

The e-learning programme includes an authentication simulation that recreates a customer scenario guided by an adviser.

An experience open to customers

The simulation was also published on the public website to reassure customers and prospects and allow them to practise.

A better-supported launch

The programme combines team training with educational communication for the general public to support the strategic commercial launch of Secure Key.

Key benefits

An immersive simulation to learn, practise and build confidence before going live.

Adviser preparation

Branch employees can familiarise themselves with the Secure Key journey before explaining it to and supporting customers.

Hands-on learning

The realistic reproduction of authentication steps allows users to practise in a safe environment that closely mirrors real-life conditions.

Educational communication

The same simulation approach can be used as a learning aid to explain the new system to users in practical terms.

Customer reassurance

By giving customers and prospects the opportunity to test the journey, HSBC makes the change easier to understand and helps reduce concerns related to Secure Key.
