Our financial client’s background
The Credit Union provides members with the benefit of saving, insurance and allows them access to fair and reasonable rates on loans. They also offer a lower borrowing rate for traditional loans. Key characteristics:
- This client has been serving its members in the financial sector for over 50 years.
- Their members enjoy the benefits of great competitive saving rates, sound advice and personalization of services.
- The financial well being of their members is very important to our client.
Why they needed our service
As a financial client who deals with customers daily, first call resolution (FCR) is a high priority for our client. They are aware of the high increase in demand in callers to the service. Furthermore, they noticed that callers were waiting a substantial amount of time to acquire the information they needed and a solution was required.
Two solutions were available to them:
- Hire and train more staff in order to meet the call volume demand.
- Outsource to us!
Therefore, they choose our proposed solution.
