Bank Five Nine came to Top Floor expressing concerns about the customer user experience of their website and the desire for their values and passions to shine through. They strongly support the communities they serve through volunteer work, donations, and education. There was a void in the market for true hometown banks, which First Bank Financial Centre ambitiously strives to fill. With a larger portion of their customers being of the age 55+, Bank Five Nine recognized the sizable opportunity that Millennials offered. They just needed the right marketing strategy to reach them.
Additionally, Bank Five Nine explained the challenge of their website’s content management system, which did not allow for easy changes or updates. From the beginning, it was an important goal of theirs to have the ability to regularly make updates, pain-free and at their leisure.
Our
Solution
Based on the goals and opportunities uncovered with Bank Five Nine during the discovery process, Top floor recommended a complete redesign to bring life back to the website. We provided expert research and implementation of SEO strategies to not only improve their visibility on search engines but also reach their target millennial demographic.
Understanding the growing concern in the financial industry to have an ADA (Americans With Disability Act) compliant website, the site also needed to go through a thorough checklist at each stage of design and development to ensure the best user experience and highest accessibility score possible.
The Website
Mobile & Tablet Experience
The Results
Bank Five Nine now has a user-friendly and mobile responsive website with a modern look and feel. Their new content management system offers Bank Five Nine’s staff the freedom to make changes as needed, keeping their website fresh and up-to-date. Unique new imagery was used to make the visitors feel as if they were “there in the moment” rather than using the typical bank imagery of awkward smiling people looking right at the camera.
Bank Five Nine’s passion for helping others is evident throughout each page. The account recommendation tool is a unique addition to the website that helps users select which accounts might best fit their needs. Visitors will also find the Financial Education Centre that incorporates video demos and interactive learning modules in a judgment-free zone where users can learn and explore at their own pace.
Client
Testimonial
Top Floor brought our vision for a new website to life. They asked the right questions, delivered a great concept, and a site that exceeded our expectations.
Continuing The Work
Since the launch, FBank Five Nine has continued to partner with us to promote the website both organically and via paid ads. Our collaboration has led to the creation of content (blogs, videos, and podcasts) that positions Bank Five Nine as a go-to resource for the age demographic beginning to learn banking and financing skills. These assets are promoted on social media, and can easily be found on the website. Unlike most bank websites that lead users down rabbit holes and oftentimes to dead ends, Bank Five Nine’s website utilizes clear calls-to-action that guide users to their desired next step.
On the paid side of their integrated marketing strategy, Bank Five Nine utilizes PPC to promote specialized loans nationwide on Google. With extensive keyword research and continuous optimization from our Paid Search Specialists, they’ve since seen a 6% conversion rate on this initiative.
