Chatbots are here on the ground, and the related hype has gone to the cloud. Yes, it?s the time to see them into action, rather than being focused on its definition and interpretation alone. In today?s blog issue, you will come across how chatbot technology is enabling leading global banks to enhance customer experience (CX) and become more profitable and amicable.
Swedbank: Nina
Customer satisfaction of the Swedish banks was in a dilapidated situation, and profit margin was shrinking as more of the customer service representatives were involved in handling basic service requests received from customers. They had little time to focus on acquiring new customers and capitalizing the upsell or cross-sale techniques. Martin Kedb?ck, a channel manager at Swedbank, shared this concern with eMarketer.
To overcome the problem and turn the table otherwise, the bank adopted AI chatbot, NINA, to create a self-service platform that can help customers seek information and resolution for basic problems on their own, and it became a huge success. Integrating the chatbot with their website, they were able to make it easily accessible.
With Nina taking charge of the 80% of the customer service requests, agents can now spend their time on other types of calls instead, which increases value for the bank.
