The Case Against Returning to Normal
SpringFour CEO Rochelle Gorey authored an op-ed for American Banker: “The case against returning to normal.” In the article, she describes the enormous opportunity that banks have to continue to prioritize their customers’ financial health, and how they can do so. Here’s an excerpt:
“There is much help available now, but customers may not know that help exists or whom to trust. Financial institutions are in the right place to provide all of the financial services that people need, including access to these resources. This will benefit customers and institutions alike — increasing repayment rates and securing a positive relationship with their customers when these resources provide the support they need…We all do well when we do good. We don’t have to return to normal — we can decide to be better and do right by our customers. It’s a win-win for all.”
