Banking Providers reaching efficiencies with Customer Service without severely impacting the Balance sheet.

Business Value Proposition: Differentiator of Complaints Learning Models with use of Generative AI

Multimodal AI

Why?

Whilst Complaints Handling and Customer Satisfaction had improved from recent years, for Y2023 there had been a decline in Customer Satisfaction Surveys for Banks; as stated in the report, UKCSI – The state of customer satisfaction in the UK – January 2024.

The INSTITUTE OF CUSTOMER SERVKCE researched a selection of UK Banks amongst 12 other Sectors to gauge Customer Satisfaction experiences including Complaints Handling areas.

ICS’s Customer Satisfaction index showed a recent year-on-year increase with volume of complaints about services. For example, a 14.1% increase of Complaints in Y2023 than recent years.

Due to increased volumes, costs increase with additional FTEs to ensure Complaints cases are processed in a regulated timeline. A reduction in FTEs usually result in a lower quality-of-service, affecting Banks’ revenue and profit steams. A balance must be found.

Banking CIOs must consider fraudulent complaints and how efficiencies in Generative AI can provide value, whilst reducing costs to the Bank concerning document learning.

Examples of Generative AI investment strategies are listed below:

  • Feedback Analysis – HSBC is currently exploring AI tooling for research/analysis of complaints identifying recurring patterns of issues.
  • AI Categorisation – JP Morgan uses AI to categorize complaints based on keywords/themes routing complaints to the appropriate department.

Complaints Handlers remain as humans-in-the-loop for Complaints generation and validating responses.
