Customers still need help \u2014 card services, student loan assistance, deposit notifications, mortgage refinancing and more \u2014 but are often limited to using digital channels in place of in-person visits to their local branch.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers already have increased needs and expectations when using digital channels. A growing number of banking consumers turn to chat, text or messaging apps instead of initiating a phone call as their primary means of communication. And email remains a popular method for consumers to interact with you.<\/p>\n<p>If you work for a financial institution that has struggled to keep pace with all this change, you\u2019re not alone. Issues of scale and security have resulted in disjointed user experiences across voice and digital interactions because of ad hoc implementations. Larger financial institutions with different lines of business have the additional challenge of providing a consumer experience that\u2019s consistent across all business lines.<\/p>\n<p>As a Customer Success Strategist for our valued banking customers, I see this firsthand. Even when someone is using the perfect platform to solve a problem \u2014 and even when they\u2019re paying for the use of digital channels \u2014 they\u2019re still hesitant about rolling out a digital banking strategy. There\u2019s perceived high risk, high effort and low reward to justify it all. Part of the role of a CSM is to bust the common myths about deploying digital channels.<\/p>\n<p>I want to share with you two critical factors required for successful digital engagements in banking and financial scenarios from the perspective of a Genesys Cloud\u2122\u00a0user.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Deploy with Customer Use Cases as the Foundation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Simply bolting on new channels isn\u2019t the right approach. New digital deployments often fail when the design derives from your internal goals and doesn\u2019t consider your customers\u2019 goals. Our experience with financial institutions has shown that you can achieve outcomes faster and position yourself for better progress when you employ user-centric design techniques.<\/p>\n<p>We deploy digital channels for Genesys Cloud using a proven use-case approach that begins with your customers\u2019 outcomes in mind. This approach lets you roll out digital engagement tactics in combination with each other or one at a time. This eases the adoption process on employees and minimises risk to the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, you\u2019ll match the expectations of today\u2019s banking consumers and how they want to interact with you \u2014 digitally or not at all.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Walk, Then Run, Then Fly<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Think big but start small. Define which digital engagement methods matter most to your customers. We\u2019ll start there, crafting experience after experience until this style of interaction becomes part of your brand. After you master the basics, you\u2019re now \u201cwalking\u201d and ready to explore more advanced uses.<\/p>\n<p>For example, start by building confidence in <a href=\"https:\/\/all.docs.genesys.com\/UseCases\/Current\/GenesysCloud\/CE18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">routing simple chat interactions<\/a> to agents. Depending on your scenario, that could mean letting customers initiate contact with one of your agents through your website regarding card services, customer resolution processes or new account onboarding activities.<\/p>\n<p>When that part becomes second nature, think about adding <a href=\"https:\/\/all.docs.genesys.com\/UseCases\/Current\/GenesysCloud\/CE27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">co-browse<\/a> so your customers can click a \u201cShare now\u201d button to show agents what\u2019s delaying their progress. These are just two of many possible options you can tackle in the \u201crun\u201d phase.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to take it to the next level, roll out <a href=\"https:\/\/all.docs.genesys.com\/UseCases\/Current\/GenesysCloud\/CE37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">predictive engagement<\/a> using artificial intelligence (AI) to understand when a customer is about to abandon your website. At this point, your agents can proactively reach out and turn that person into a happy, loyal customer. It\u2019s at this point that you can truly deliver empathy in your digital channels and start \u201cflying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While adding new digital channels and AI to your organisation might seem daunting, it\u2019s really not. Especially when you partner with experts like our Customer Success Managers. Just look how easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/customer-stories\/tsb-bank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TSB Bank<\/a> digitised its customer experience to decrease abandon rates by 20% and maintain a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of over 71 during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The digital engagement world is waiting. Are you ready to serve your customers where they are? If you\u2019re a current Genesys customer and ready for digital, reach out to your Customer Success Manager to get started. If you\u2019re not a customer yet, let\u2019s talk. I can\u2019t wait to partner with you.<\/p>\n<p>Speak to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesys.com\/en-sg\/contact-us?ost_tool=blog&amp;ost_campaign=apac_lg-en_cl-lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesys representative today<\/a>.
