5 mBank success based on select, but consistent principles

Key success factors Description


Well defined, attractive • Focused in segment selection; did not try to pursue all segments
target segment – ~20-35 years, students - High potential: educated, open for novelty
• (Such) customers grow in professional life/ wealth – currently mBank with
probably the most attractive, mass affluent customer base in Poland

Consistent, differentiated • Distancing from "traditional banks" (like Apple vs. IBM)
positioning and marketing • "Do not pay for "bricks" of traditional banks, get better offer"
• Large above the line advertising supported by precise on-line and non-

standard marketing

Broad (like traditional bank) • By leveraging scale/ power on suppliers (funds, insurance), analytical
offer & always better deal advantage (one-to-one pricing), process convenience (loans)
• Often beyond banking: e.g. insurance, experimented mobile operators, etc.

Best-in-class "feel & look" • Customer transact daily - this is how they build satisfaction, advocacy and
transactional (core) banking stickiness
products • Transactions as great source of Information and touch points allowing best
offer (e.g. preapprovals, discounts, real time/ relevant offer)

Driven by internal lean / low cost ("online, not expensive


branch based bank") and open, challenging culture
