Abstract

The digital transformation of finance is accelerating, and digital banking has already become a major banking channel. Banks have traditionally placed importance on CRM(Customer Relationship Management) and have tried to retain their loyal customers, who contribute significantly to the bank, such as long-term transactions, holding accounts with a certain balance or more, and holding loans. In this situation, this study exploratorily analyzed the consumer behavior of digital banking deposits in a major bank of Korea(1,145 samples). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. The main findings of the study are summarized as follows. It was found that there were differences of consumer behavior in digital banking deposits by generation, and the MZ generation used digital banking more on holidays than other generations. As a result of analyzing the behavior of existing loyal customers and regular customers of digital banking deposit, there was a significant difference in both the amount and period of the deposit. It was confirmed that the existing loyal customers of the bank also engage in consumer behavior that contributes to the bank in digital banking. In addition, the interaction between the customer type and the date of sign up for the deposit period, which is the goal setting of financial consumers, it was found that there was a significant effect. This study empirically analyzed the consumer behavior of digital banking in a situation where decrease of bank branches and encounters with digital banking. The major concepts of the consumer behavior theory are Loyal Customer, Goal Pursuit, and Habit, which were confirmed in an example of digital banking. The results of this study can suggest practical implications for existing banks and Internet-only banks, including the importance of customer management in digital banking.

금융의 디지털 전환(Digital Transformation)은 가속화되고 있으며, 디지털 뱅킹은 이미 은행의 주요한 채널로 자리 잡았다. 은행은 전통적으로 '고객 관계 관리(CRM)'를 중요시해왔으며, 장기거래, 일정 잔액 이상의 계좌 보유, 대출 보유 등 은행에 기여도가 높은 주거래 고객, 즉 '충성고객'을 유지하고자 노력해 왔다. 이러한 상황에서 본 연구는 국내 제1금융권 디지털 뱅킹 정기예금 소비자 데이터를 기반으로 그들의 행동 실태를 탐색적으로 분석하였다(표본수 1,145개). 연구의 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 세대별 디지털 뱅킹 정기예금 가입 형태를 분석한 결과 20~30대(MZ세대)는 다른 세대보다 상대적으로 휴무일에 디지털 뱅킹을 더 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이어, 은행의 기존 충성고객과 일반고객의 디지털 뱅킹 정기예금 가입의 행동 실태를 분석한 결과 예금가입 금액과 기간 모두 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 은행의 기존 충성고객은 디지털 뱅킹에서도 거래은행에 기여도가 높은 소비자 행동을 하는 것으로 관측되었다. 또한, 금융소비자의 목표설정인 예금가입기간에 대해 고객유형과 가입일자의 상호작용을 분석한 결과 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 은행의 지점 수는 계속 줄어들고, 디지털 뱅킹의 점유율은 계속 증가하는 상황에서 디지털 뱅킹의 소비자 행동 실태를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 소비자 행동이론의 주요 개념인 충성고객(Loyal Customer), 목표 추구(Goal Pursuit), 습관(Habit)을 디지털 뱅킹 정기예금 사례로 확인하였으며, 연구의 결과를 토대로 기존 시중은행과 인터넷전문은행의 고객관리 전략에 대한 실무적 지침을 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
