The banking landscape has never been more competitive. Customers have higher expectations for their customer experience and the way they interact with their bank and finances. Conversational AI has become more prevalent across many industries and has driven these expectations even higher. This technology offers an opportunity to show customers that banks prioritize their experience by providing quick access to information such as balances and spending history and the ability to complete action-oriented functions such as transfers and fraud reporting in a completely self-serve manner. With conversational AI, banks can reach their customers on a variety of channels and in a personalized manner, using past user history, predictive analytics and sentiment analysis to ensure customers have the best experience possible. These advancements in technology drive significant contact center cost reductions and increases in customer satisfaction, and in this session we’re going to dive deep into how conversational AI enables these phenomenal business outcomes.
