Simple tasks resolved, specialist help within reach

Customers handle simple requests themselves, with their context following them across app, branch, and phone. We connect your contact centre to the systems behind it, so answers come from live account information. Your teams spend their time where judgement counts.

Improve the banking journeys that matter most

Start with the journeys where AI can help most. Each one shows what changes for the people you serve and how we deliver it.

Everyday banking and servicing

Account, card, and savings tasks completed on the channel customers choose.

Customers check account, card, and savings details after identity checks and get clear answers on maturity deadlines. Digital tasks come with easy access to phone or branch support. Security codes stay outside AI conversations.

Fraud and scam reporting

Fast access to fraud specialists when money or account access is at risk.

You can recognise suspected fraud and route customers promptly to specialists. Essential facts are captured during identity checks and passed on, so customers only explain once. Authorised teams make investigation and reimbursement decisions.

Financial and additional support

Quicker routes to support, including after bereavement.

Customers and their representatives follow clear financial-support, bereavement, and access steps at their own pace. Live translation is available, with qualified interpreters for sensitive discussions. Specialists receive a summary before each conversation.

Loan applications and servicing

Clear progress on applications, with reminders for anything missing.

Borrowers see confirmed milestones and outstanding actions, with reminders for missing documents. You can arrange adviser appointments and pass the customer's purpose and history ahead of the conversation.

Complaints and service insight

Recurring issues spotted early, with evidence of which fixes work.

Possible complaints are flagged for staff review, and investigators get summaries linked to evidence. You can analyse contact reasons and sentiment and compare outcomes across customer groups. Service owners track agreed improvements.

Disruption and service continuity

Customers kept informed and supported through disruption.

Verified incident updates reach customers across your channels, and urgent needs reach tested alternative routes. You can manage callbacks through recovery, so open requests are picked up when services return.

Why Softcat

Fair customer outcomes, strong governance, and operational resilience are high on the banking agenda. Our financial services specialists help you deliver all three across your contact channels.
