How Do Banks Coordinate ABM Across Retail and Commercial Divisions?
Unite consumer and business banking with a shared account strategy, governed data, and coordinated plays—from household checking to treasury management—so teams stop competing for the same relationships and start growing lifetime value together.
Banks coordinate ABM by establishing a shared account plan and common data model across retail and commercial. Household and business identities are linked, routing & SLAs prevent channel conflict, and plays are sequenced: retail onboarding → small-biz start-up → cash management/credit → executive wealth. Success is governed with a cross-line revenue council and measured on funded accounts, relationship balance growth, treasury adoption, and retention.
What Changes When Retail and Commercial Align?
The Retail + Commercial ABM Coordination Playbook
Use this sequence to reduce channel conflict, raise funded rates, and expand balances—across consumer and business lines.
Unify Data → Segment → Orchestrate → Route → Close → Expand → Govern
- Unify identities: Link people, households, businesses, and buying groups; standardize consent and archiving.
- Segment by potential: Score AUM/balance potential, cash-flow complexity, and credit propensity across retail and business.
- Orchestrate journeys: Map offers from consumer to SMB to mid-market (checking, card, LOC, merchant, ACH/wires, treasury, wealth).
- Route with SLAs: Branch, RM, treasury overlay, or digital—use clear ownership and follow-ups for warm handoffs.
- Close and activate: E-sign, funding, onboarding tasks, digital wallet & entitlements; merchant and treasury implementation.
- Expand and retain: Triggers: payroll growth, new locations, large ACH volumes, executive comp; add modules (fraud, liquidity, FX) and wealth.
- Govern monthly: Revenue council reviews funded rate, treasury adoption, cross-line balance growth, NPS, and delinquency.
