GURGAON, SYDNEY and MELVILLE, N.Y.: Verint® Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT), The Customer Engagement Company™, in partnership with Inspiro Relia, Inc. (Inspiro), have optimised the quality of RCBC Bankard’s call centre operations with the implementation of Verint’s innovative voice biometrics solution*, part of its Identity Authentication and Fraud Detection (IAFD) offering. The combination gives the organization high-level expertise and automated technology to help reduce costs and improve the overall customer experience.
RCBC Bankard Services Corporation, the credit card arm of Rizal
Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), one of the largest universal banks in
Philippines, collaborated with Verint on a landmark upgrade of their voice
recording and biometrics systems.
Verint voice biometrics recognises the unique vocal
characteristics of enrolled customers seconds into a live call, helping to
reduce the number of security questions and average handle times. This faster
authentication can reduce contact centre costs, help eliminate the need for
security questions, and can provide an overall improved customer experience.
Mr. Simon Calasanz, RCBC Bankard President and CEO believes that the rollout of the solution was well timed and stated, “The implementation of voice biometrics improves our workflow and increases the security behind every single call. This is at a time when credit card fraud has become more prevalent.”
Calasanz
continued, “Our service delivery is of utmost importance to our customers, and
we are pleased to say that the upgrade to the system was executed to the
highest degree. The Verint and Inspiro teams were well orchestrated and
operations continued smoothly behind the scenes. Following the deployment, we
expect a decrease in the number of security questions, and we will have the
ability to provide assistance more quickly, with a reduction in average handle
time.”
Commenting on the successful partnership and project outcomes, Manish Shah, Vice President of Verint’s Southeast Asia operations, said, “Understanding the RCBC Bankard’s needs and a strong collaborative partnership with Inspiro were key to a seamless transformation of RCBC Bankard’s back office operations. RCBC Bankard wanted to push the envelope with new modernised and automated technology that would help them to deliver higher quality customer service. Our local support capability and our voice biometrics technology was the winning combination that led to the successful execution and delivery of this project.”
“Advanced voice biometrics is a positive disruption for our
industry, and we are seeing greater adoption across the financial services
industry,” Mr. Shah added. “We look forward to working closely with our local
partners to ensure they’re providing the best customer service experience
possible with best-fit solutions.”
Mr. Mark Mistal, Inspiro’s Chief Information Officer added, “Verint’s capabilities within the contact centre space are well-established, and their best-in-class voice biometrics system delivers tangible enhancements to every single call and in real time.”
