Long-Term Digital Vision with Customer Service in BFSI
The Financial Services sector is developing a long-term Digital Vision and Customer Service in BFSI to evolve as a partner-in-life strategy. A Cognizant report says that by 2023 banking and financial services expect to boost the percentage of revenue obtained through digital channels by 54% average. Utilizing technology to personalize and humanize the customer experience through the financial and banking lifecycle, while reinforcing compliance, fraud detection and ensuring financial well-being of customers, will create the future champions in the digital economy.
Let’s eyeball the essential components and key factors that help CX leaders meet and exceed expectations. Emphasizing a smooth and easy interactive UI for digital self-service will rebuild a close relationship between customers and their phones. Although the banking and financial services sector realized the need to improve the customer experience through enhanced self-service, there has not been much development in delivery mechanism for human advice, around lending, investment or small business needs. Beyond technology, deploying talented workforce through video chats with document sharing, combined with a back end that allows the organization to gain insights into their customer using smart CRM technology will improve a rich online experience.
Evolving Technologies in Customer Support for BFSI
Hyper-personalization is enabling BFSI firms to predict customer needs through behavioral data science and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to offer relatable products and services to consumers even before they need them. Embedded finance is the latest business model that’s transforming the digital future. Embedded finance in banking is a banking-like service offered by non-financial players which replaces the checking or authenticating savings/current accounts provided by banking institutions. Embedded finance makes access to financial services fast, seamless and hassle-free, thereby improving customer satisfaction. This consumer-centered approach to digital banking is an opportunity for financial services to personalize customer journeys end-to-end through real time contextual communication.
In a digitally evolving world, companies with strong omnichannel customer support capabilities can retain on average 90% of their customers. According to Deloitte, client-centric companies are 60% more profitable compared to companies not focused on their users. Availability of multiple channels reduces inbound customer phone calls, reduces operational costs without compromising customer service quality, increases customer satisfaction across every touchpoint, fosters trust, increases loyalty and generates higher business revenue. Speed and efficiency remain the primary drivers of omnichannel experience.
Chatbots are raising the bar of CX Intelligence. Sophistication of mobile technology is helping us exchange details, authenticate and conduct transactions seamlessly, eliminating the need for human support. A well designed chatbot learns and converses like a human and answers ad-hoc queries in realtime and provides the same experience irrespective of the channel, mobile, web etc. The chatbot can seamlessly interpret common languages, it remembers customer preferences, learns from customer responses, suggests products and cross-sells effectively. They can be configured to send valuable reminders and regular alerts, such as bill payment deadlines or the delivery of specific documents for financial transactions. Financial institutions are investing in chatbots to deliver ‘contextual insights’, they are transitioning to ‘conversational banking’ and are viewing chatbots as new age contact center executives.
Importance of Analytics in CX for BFSI
Creating a balance between customer experience with security, privacy and fraud control is colossal. Fraud prevention is key to any financial institution. Customers want fast, efficient interactions, but they also want their identities and financial information guarded. Financial institutions are investing heavily on cutting-edge security and fraud tools that are invisible to the customer, they are also using intelligence, analytics and data to drive down some of the customer-managed security and fraud controls. Leading financial institutions offer proactive fraud alerts to customers using high-end fraud diagnostic tools. Their threat assessment control identifies current and future risks and vulnerabilities. Banks utilize optimization of fraud management processes and tools for customer authentication strategies, business rules, and other anti-fraud measures, thus enhancing the customer experience journey.

Achieving CX excellence through outsourcing. Every second the customer loses waiting for a solution is an inch closer to losing their loyalty.
