Human–technology relationships have become core strategic capabilities and enablers of enterprise sustainability. Contemporary interactions between humans and technology are undergoing a profound transformation toward a more human-centric and value-oriented paradigm, aiming for Industry and Society 5.0, a shift that is particularly salient in banking. The influence of customer experience quality on the strategic foundations of enterprise management is being fundamentally redefined. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of customer experience on marketing outcomes in the banking industry. To analyze the directions, strengths, and statistical significance of relationships, structural equation modeling (SEM) using partial least squares (PLS) was employed. The research model was tested on a sample of 616 valid responses from customers of banking services in Serbia. The research shows that customer experience positively impacts customer satisfaction, behavioral loyalty intentions, and word-of-mouth, making it a strong predictor of marketing outcomes. The moderating roles of gender, customer segment, and respondents’ regional affiliation were tested, identifying variables that moderate significant relationships between customer experience and marketing outcomes, unveiling detailed insights into demographic and segmentation disparities. The findings offer robust empirical support for managerial decision making in customer experience enhancement initiatives.
