Introducing financial institutions of all sizes to the customer experience of the future
TULSA, OK, May 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered customer experience (CX) technology is finally ready for prime-time in financial services. ENACOMM – a FinTech provider with recognized expertise in intelligent self-service, big data and financial fraud prevention – today introduced the financial industry to Emerie, the most advanced AI-powered Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) available for banking. Emery’s AI technology learns and gets to know users by continuously analyzing performance metrics and integrating new information, delivering an improved user experience with every customer interaction.
“We are nothing short of thrilled to bring Emerie to life,” said ENACOMM CEO Michael Boukadakis. “For decades I have been focused on the financial services industry and in the trenches with brilliant developers designing intelligent self-service solutions that meet the real needs of banks, credit unions, FinTechs and their customers and members. An intelligent virtual assistant like Emerie has long been in the would-be-nice category, due to technological and security limitations – but our team has removed the industry-specific hurdles and Emerie is poised to change the self-service game for banks, credit unions and FinTechs , both big and small.”
Banks and credit unions face CX challenges that must be overcome, including:
- Financial institutions’ websites are difficult to navigate
- Agents only available during business hours
- Ongoing feedback from customers/members difficult to collect
- Agents wasting time on easily resolved customer/member issues
Emerie takes customer experience and self-service in financial services to the next level by:
- Makes it quick and convenient to find answers to questions such as “What is the bank’s routing number?” or “What are the bank’s branches and opening hours?”
- Always available, 24/7
- Cultivating an AI learning loop so that IVA gets smarter over time as the collection of data grows
- Free up customer service agents to focus on complex and meaningful customer/member interactions by automating simple requests
“Customer experience is a key differentiator among financial institutions,” commented Boukadakis. “Consumer expectations continue to rise amid today’s accelerated digital transformation, but Emerie is catapulting FIs ahead of the competition.”
With Emerie, banks, credit unions and FinTechs can brand and customize the customer experience to stand out and adapt as needs change. All of ENACOMM’s CX technologies can be integrated with any contact center solution to deliver seamless user experiences, and can be used across multiple interaction channels, including web chat, mobile, phone and SMS.
ENACOMM captures behavioral, transactional and preference data to deliver personalized experiences, and Emerie uses this data to solve problems that financial institutions face every day. In the role of virtual receptionist, Emerie answers users’ basic questions and directs them to the right place. Emerie also acts as a virtual teller, knowing and understanding customers and members, and is always on call to provide account and transaction information.
