The Story

One response engine for the credit card business

01

About Standard Chartered Bank

Standard Chartered PLC is a British multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in London, England. It runs a network of more than 1,200 branches and outlets in over 70 countries and employs around 87,000 people.

Standard Chartered Bank is India's largest international bank, with 100 branches in 43 cities, and has operated in India since 1858.

02

The challenges Standard Chartered faced

Email volumes were high, customer response management was decentralised, and reporting and customer analysis were time-consuming. Online banking support costs were high.

Multiple solutions in multiple locations were handling enquiries, and both customer satisfaction (C-SAT) and online adoption rates were low.

03

The Virtuos approach

At Standard Chartered Bank, Virtuos delivered a major project to bring automation, efficiency and productivity through KANA Response, a state-of-the-art contact centre platform. The entire credit card operation — service and every interaction — is run on the KANA system.

The solution Virtuos implemented is designed to intelligently automate and manage high volumes of inbound email and web queries. Its key features include modules for quick, consistent and accurate email responses, enterprise support for multiple lines of business, and integration with enterprise databases for auto-responses and data exchange.

04

Modules used

Email management system, response automation tools, secure messaging, knowledge management, and reporting and analytics.

The card business ran on email. Once routine responses were automated and KANA could read the bank's own data, agents spent their time on the questions that genuinely needed a person.
