1. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to automate every aspect of digital banking. It can carry out a number of onboarding duties that previously needed human employees, like data entry or creating user profiles.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can also gather data and insights to constantly improve journeys by identifying bottlenecks and points of friction. This type of technology can save time and money while allowing staff from Banks and Credit Unions to focus on more demanding tasks.

 2. Optical Character Recognition and Natural Language Processing

In this digital age, computers can now easily comprehend human writing or voice thanks to a process called natural language processing (NLP). This can be used to scan papers or run virtual assistants that can comprehend clients' words in their native language.

OCR (optical character recognition) is another tool that can automatically read uploaded identity papers like passports and diver's licenses, it can even scan data from handwritten application forms and extract that information to digitalize it. This is one of the numerous tools that complete the job that was previously done by a person and quicken the onboarding journey for clients.

3. Chatbots

In this new digital era, Banks and Credit Unions are expected to offer 24/7 customer service available everywhere, and on every device. This is where chatbots come into the picture. Chatbots provide services around-the-clock, without being restricted by office hours, and can be reached from whatever channel available to the client at the moment.

Chatbots also enable financial institutions to regularly review important data like the time it takes to complete the onboarding process, the abandonment rate, and the response time to a question. Customers' frustration with chatbots can also be revealed by natural language processing. These Chatbot metrics make sure they are operating at their full potential and providing the best customer service.
