Being "The Consumer's bank" means that we have to be excellent:
Always seeing things from the clients' point of view wherever they are
Offering the best product at the best price
Making products and services designed as solutions for the client as widely available as possible in order to take advantage of today's opportunities (loans, card services) as well as tomorrow's (savings, insurance)
Providing clear, honest, reliable information which is easy for clients to understand : eliminating asterisks and footnotes, and legal clauses in small print. Brochures must be written as clearly as possible. Customer services must be well trained and respond quickly and appropriately.
Continually innovating in order to surprise and satisfy clients through good facilities and ease of use.
Doing more than just declaring intentions :
in 2003, Banque Accord became, in France, the first retail-based
bank to offer its customers multi-service international bank cards
from the international VISA and MasterCard networks (Auchan and Boulanger
customers).
