As the world turned digital, the fintech industry was ready to ride the wave. But there are now so many players in the digital space, there’s fierce competition to keep and acquire new customers.
The biggest reason fintech businesses struggle is the quality of their customer experience. To provide top-notch customer experiences, businesses need to have a customer support solution to keep customers loyal.
What is digital customer service?
Digital customer service is the support a company offers to customers via digital channels, like email, chatbots, and self-service.
While many companies still offer phone support, digital customer service is quickly gaining prominence. That should come as no surprise—during the covid-19, people turned to digital channels when in-person interactions weren’t possible.
Providing digital customer service is not enough. Fintech companies need secure and compliant customer experience solutions that earn and maintain the trust of consumers, merchants, partners and others through robust risk management and internal controls.
The problem facing fintech in digital customer service today
- Highly repetitive tickets
This will not only lead to long waiting time for customers, but also a heavy workload for agents. These requests should be resolved through self-service knowledge bases options. - Increasing number of tickets
More tickets are coming in through new channels such as social media and messaging platforms. It will be difficult to scale the business to meet demand without investing in additional staff and new technology. - outdated system
Existing infrastructure and customer service solutions were not meeting demand. For example, a company might have a help center, but that cost is expensive and difficult to maintain.
We know fintech companies don’t want to spend enormous amounts of money and time on complex, bulky systems. But they do need to constantly innovate and iterate on the customer service function to differentiate themselves from traditional financial services providers.
