Service design for Barclays Bank

Case Study – Barclays Bank Service Strategy Design

Developing a product and service strategy to anticipate and support customers in financial difficulty

The challenge

In response to tougher UK Government regulations, aimed at ensuring banks do more to help customers experiencing financial difficulty, the Barclays’ Customer Experience team needed to develop and product and service strategy that would ensure proactive support for customers across five predefined phases of financial difficulty.  

The Engine Service Design team conducted a crossorganisation design process to re-imagine and develop products, service, policies, and tools for supporting customers. We defined a service architecture encompassing new products, digital tools and processes that enabled internal teams working across retail banking, business accounts and Barclay’s credit card to continuously enhance and improve their responses to customers.
