Customer experience in banking: an example map

In this experience map we look into Paul’s experience of looking for a new bank provider. The example contains a customer journey map, the emotions that are relevant in the specific situation, and how important each situation is to him. Furthermore, we look into which channels he uses for communication and what files are required for the procedure.
