Reducing costs by deflecting calls and increasing revenues by removing barriers for payment

Problem

A large regional bank was looking to digitalize their customer interactions. They launched visual self-service to automate critical customer service functions like debt repayment plans and credit account management.

The bank found many of their customers preferred digital interactions, but critical customer interactions like viewing credit card balance, browsing applicable payment plans, and repaying debt lacked dedicated digital portals.
