Banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council must make greater use of social media platforms to gain real value from consumer interactions, according to a new report.

In its study on social media in the GCC banking sector, Orient Planet Research said banks needed to shift their priorities from online campaigns to listening to customer feedback and interaction.

It also warned that staff needed to be trained in the use of social media, reliable analysis of data should be carried out and banks would need to evaluate cyber security risks and threats.
