Let’s start with a small introduction to what Key performance Indicators (KPIs) mean to the world of banks. It is well known that the banking industry has been victim of the 2008 financial crisis. For this reason and not only, measuring and forecasting performance has become a priority for bank executives. KPIs assist in measuring current performance and also planning/preparing for future performance. This is why here at winninkpi.com we put great emphasis on how you can use our KPIs for decision making, strategic planning and making changes. If something is not working well, you need an efficient measurement in place to be able to identify it, quantify it and amend it; after that it’s best to measure it again and see if improvement has taken place.
Although banks already have sophisticated financial measurement systems in place, which provide great reports on financial performance, KPIs are still a very valuable tool. Managers use these KPIs for insight into financial performance and learn from it how to keep performance at its highest standards. Let’s look at a few measurement areas for which KPIs are valuable:

Therefore, it is very important that the KPIs are aligned with the overarching strategy.

This could reveal areas of improvement, important information for decision making etc.
Make them measurable!
Just like objectives, KPIs need to the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Scaled).
Create a model of what you want to achieve and then use KPIs to measure the performance in different areas that work towards that achievement.
