As part of CaixaBank’s 2019-2020 strategic plan, employees will be able to use these co-developed CRM tools to respond to the bank’s customers. Salesforce will also become a member of the ‘la Caixa’ banking foundation which helps people struggling to integrate in the labour market.
Similarly, the agreement reads that CaixaBank – now holding 15.6 million customers – will be included in Salesforce’s international research and development (R&D) programme for financial services, which compromises of “a small group of banks experimenting with new ways of approaching customers”.
