Fee Change Customer Reaction Research
How people find out about a fee change matters more than the amount. How a fee change lands depends less on the amount than on how people find out. A customer who read it in a clear letter reacts differently from one who discovered it on a statement. This conversation separates the pricing reaction from the communication failure.

How this AI agent works
The conversation asks how they first learned about the change, which is often the real problem. It then explores their reaction at the time, what they actually did, whether they called, complained, moved money, or simply absorbed it, and how it changed their view of the bank. It closes on whether the change made them consider moving, so the attrition risk is quantified while there is still time.

No context. No follow-up. No next step.
- Fee changes are modeled for revenue and rarely for attrition, because the attrition arrives two or three quarters later and is difficult to attribute back to the change.
- Complaint volume in the weeks after a change is a poor proxy for damage, since the customers who quietly plan to leave do not complain.
- Standard surveys ask whether customers are satisfied with value for money, which cannot distinguish an objection to the amount from an objection to how it was communicated.

Right team. Full context. Instant action.
- The conversation asks how they first found out, which is frequently the real problem. Learning about a charge from a statement rather than a notice produces a markedly worse reaction than the amount alone would explain.
- It separates the objection to the price from the objection to the handling, which are different problems owned by pricing and by communications respectively.
- Asking what they actually did, whether they called, moved money, or absorbed it, gives a behavioral measure rather than a stated attitude.
What is fee change research?
It is research with customers affected by a pricing or fee change, run soon after the change takes effect, to measure how it landed. Its purpose is to surface attrition risk and communication failures early, while intervention is still possible and before the effect appears in retention data.
