What this question tests

Business value framing: can you articulate the concrete value a mobile app customer creates for Capital One, beyond just saying convenience.

How to approach it

  1. Separate direct and indirect value, since app usage affects Capital One in more than one way.
  2. Name direct value: lower cost to serve, since app self service reduces call center and branch volume per customer.
  3. Name a second value: increased engagement and cross sell opportunity, since app users see more product offers and use more features like budgeting tools.
  4. Name a third value: richer behavioral data, since app usage generates data that improves credit risk models and personalization.
  5. Connect these to retention, since engaged app users are stickier and less likely to switch banks.
  6. Give a rough sense of relative importance, for example cost to serve and retention matter more than cross sell alone.
