So, in theory, the customer should have been happy. Instead, what really made the difference for the bank was identifying the perpetrator. “We never thought in our wildest dreams that we'd actually find this in our study," says Vamsi Kanuri, associate professor of marketing at Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business and one of the researchers who conducted the study. "Banks were very surprised."

The study was based on five years of data from more than 422,000 customers at a major U.S. bank. “When fraud is resolved with clear accountability, customers not only stay but often become more loyal,” said Notre Dame Professor of Marketing Vamsi Kanuri. “This is a real-world demonstration of the service recovery paradox, where effective handling of a failure can actually strengthen relationships.”

Vamsi Kanuri, co-author of the paper and an associate professor of marketing at Notre Dame, said the researchers initially suspected that fraud would harm a customer’s relationship with the bank even if the fraud was resolved.

Recent research by Vamsi Kanuri, the Viola D. Hank Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, offers a compelling case for why banks must persist in their efforts, not because of immediate monetary gain but due to long-term customer loyalty benefits.

“Intuitively, we might expect that any instance of fraud would harm the relationship between a customer and their bank, even if the case was resolved,” Vamsi Kanuri, author of the study, told Notre Dame News. “Yet in cases of correct attribution, not only do customers stay, but they also display higher levels of loyalty than those untouched by fraud.”

Rather than boosting e-commerce, the change drives many online shoppers into the stores, leading to an overall increase in sales from both channels, according to the lead author Vamsi Kanuri, the Viola D. Hank Associate Professor of Marketing at Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business.
