Members today expect the same type of services no matter the size of their bank or credit union: seamless customer experience, user-friendly, and online convenience. As your digital presence grows, it’s crucial to keep security and compliance front and center, along with how these improvements will add value to your members and staff.
A comprehensive cloud communications or Mitel unified communications platform significantly contributes to elevating member experience and involvement – whether members are physically visiting your branch or accessing services online from their homes. These platforms also enable your employees to work collaboratively and efficiently, no matter where they are located, while still fulfilling security, compliance, and privacy standards.
Let’s dive into the types of improvements your organization will experience by choosing a new cloud or on-premise communications solution.
Benefits of Cloud Communications for the Financial Sector
Empower members through self-service
Today’s consumers, whether in-person or digital, anticipate fast and convenient interactions across all platforms. This expectation not only affects your company’s web presence and mobile app capabilities, but also its overall communication strategy. Members are looking for proactive notifications via text or email about monthly statements, balances, and mortgage payments. They demand stellar service and easily accessible options, encompassing rapid issue resolution, various communication channels, and a customized experience – consistently.
Elevate revolutionizes member engagements for financial companies, regardless of their size. With its adaptable call flows and superior QA functionalities, our solution integrates voice, chat, video, and email into a unified omni-channel experience. It provides real-time member insights and comprehensive historical reporting to refine interactions. Plus, with dynamic notifications, it enhances outreach while still adhering to the preferences of the audience.
Optimize employee efficiency
Facilitate hybrid work arrangements and sustain productivity regardless of location. It’s essential for you and your staff to have the flexibility to work from any location. Your members should also enjoy smooth and consistent communication, which includes preserving the continuity of conversations over time as employees transition between channels from their home offices to the workplace.
Elevate smoothly combines all your communication tools – desktop phones, mobile devices, and computers – into a single, user-friendly solution. This adaptable approach accommodates the diverse needs and locations of employees, ensuring a consistent and business-focused experience for your members.
Uphold compliance and security
From adhering to legislation like Dodd-Frank to maintaining SOC2 compliance, banks and credit unions are tasked with routinely auditing their processes, systems, and files to confirm compliance with industry standards and to mitigate risk. Risk management also presents its own challenges, as data breaches and cyberattacks are on the rise and financial companies must support redundant storage, uptime SLA, customizable retention policies, data encryption, and offline data access.
Elevate, our cohesive cloud communications solution, is equipped with the latest security and privacy measures to satisfy a broad array of financial industry regulations. It integrates a phone system with desktop and mobile apps, video conferencing, team chat, business SMS, and also offers file collaboration and backup features. Everything necessary to ensure the security and compliance of your data, communications, and meetings is encompassed and accessible to your team, whether they’re in the office or traveling, with full support for mobile devices.
Let’s discuss how cloud communications can make things seamless for your members and staff.
