Online reputation management for banking

Reputation Management:
Managing Global Banking Risk to Brand Reputation
David Ewing, BrandGuard Software
May 2013

Did you know? One negative review costs 30 customers per branded term
Positive Brand Reputation
The most valuable brand asset …
Neglected by financial institutions to
the economic cost of shareholders
and consumers

Banking Reputation

Massive Banking & Shareholder Losses
63,000 banking jobs to be lost in just eight European
banks by 2013
12,000,000 US property foreclosures since 2009
3 million US business bankruptcies in 2009 -10

Banks Have Been The Easy Blame…
“I am determined to
ensure that we can lock
in greater stability … in
this generation”
(2006)
“The IMF has just
confirmed ‘the
continued resilience
of the global financial
system’ ”
(2007)
“Retail banks appear to
have adequate
financial resources
today”
(2007)

Several Areas Were Mismanaged
“I am determined to
ensure that we can lock
in greater stability … in
this generation”
(2006)
“Retail banks appear to
have adequate
financial resources
today”
(2007)
Risk management was blind-sided
Strategic interests were abandoned
Value evaporated on a catastrophic level
Risk management was caught

How Could Reputation Impact Strategy?

First, continued success needs
support from stakeholders

Sentiment towards banks- they’re only about making money.

The Worst Decisions Had A Common Theme
“As long as the music is playing,
you’ve got to get up and dance”
Like selling houses in a flood plain,
because it’s been dry lately
“Take up Payment Protection
Insurance” to improve your loan
“Arranging additional credit of up
to $1 billion, which did not appear in
Greek's economic data”
“Creating and selling securities and
then betting against them
Like selling shaving cream as a cure
for baldness?
Like encouraging an alcoholic to have
another drink?
Like quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys,
but betting on the Patriots winning?

Reputation Management Consideration?...MMM…Not Really

Reputation Views
‘If you lose money, I will be understanding. If you lose reputation, I will be ruthless‘

United Kingdom’s Leadership Discussing UK Insurance Space
ABI: Reputation [is] the
industry’s biggest weakness …
make sure that we create an
environment where our
reputation reflects our value to
Society and the economy.”

16 Academic Reports Support Reputation Management
“We observe that the penalized firms’ stock prices experience statistically significant
abnormal losses of approximately nine times the fines and compensation paid
We interpret the fall in equity market value in excess
of mandated payments as the firms’ reputational loss ”
Regulatory Sanctions and Reputational Damage in Financial Markets
J Armour, C Mayer, A Polo, University of Oxford (March 2011)
Based on sample of the entire population of regulatory enforcement actions by
the FSA and LSE against publicly-traded companies from 2001 – January 2011
