Enhancing Customer Experience with Multilingual Bots

There has been a tectonic shift in the banking industry with the infusion of technology and digitization in the last decade. Earlier, people would spend half of their day at the bank even for simple tasks like passbook updates, cash withdrawals, opening a new bank account and so forth. Long queues and complicated legacy systems were something people attributed to banks in India.

 

However, conversational chatbots have brought a revolution to the BFSI industry. These bots, which are programmed and trained in Natural Language Processing (NLPs), have transformed the customer experience. They use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate a two-way conversation between financial institutions and their customers. This has drastically enhanced the customer experience, especially with the introduction of multilingual chatbots. 

Multilingual Chat Bots Transforming BFSI

Multilingual chat bots allow customers to communicate in their native language. This enables BFSI companies to provide their customers with personalised and efficient customer service. Multilingual conversational chatbots have become a necessity for the banking industry, especially in a linguistically diverse country like India. Studies have shown that 65% of people prefer content in their native language. 

 

This adds a layer of complexity when it comes to providing service in multiple languages. But there’s a silver lining in the form of Reverie’s IndoCord. This innovative platform addresses the language barrier and ensures a seamless, engaging customer experience. It helps financial institutions to lay down the foundation for next-gen customer experience. In this post, we are going to break down the various challenges in BFSI and how multilingual chatbots can help solve them.

Challenges of Linguistic Diversity in BFSI

India is not just a linguistically diverse country, it also has a diverse culture and heritage. This diversity brings with it a unique set of challenges for the BFSI industry. The three major challenges at the forefront include:

  • Communication barriers 
  • Personalisation issues 
  • Scalability concerns

These challenges can significantly affect the customer experience and operational scalability.

Communication Barriers

Communication barriers are at the core of the problems that financial institutions face. There are numerous languages and dialects spoken across the country. Addressing this challenge requires a nuanced approach to communication that respects both language preferences and cultural sensitivities. This complexity becomes even more evident when it comes to tasks like sending reminders for eKYC completion. eKYC is a statutory requirement for customer identification. The system prevents fraud, identity theft, and money laundering. Ineffective communication because of language barriers can hinder customer understanding and compliance. This may affect customer onboarding and the institution’s regulatory standing. However, multilingual chatbots can offer guidance to customers during the onboarding process in their preferred language. This streamlines customer interactions and makes the process more inclusive.

Personalisation

Another hurdle that BFSI institutions face is personalisation. Meeting the individual language preferences of customers can enhance customer satisfaction and foster a sense of trust and loyalty. However, technological and logistical constraints in the BFSI sector make it difficult to offer personalised services. This leads to generic communications that often fail to resonate with or engage the diverse customer base effectively.

Scalability

Scalability adds an additional layer of complexity. Expanding services to target a linguistically diverse clientele needs significant enhancements to the existing systems and processes. BFSI institutions have to offer consistent, high-quality services across multiple languages and cultural contexts. In order to achieve this goal, significant investments in technology and human resources are required.

 

While these challenges seem daunting, technologically advanced language solutions, like Reverie’s IndoCord, can help overcome them. Let’s learn more about how this solution can help BFSI institutions overcome these challenges.

Use Cases in BFSI

Customer Support Automation

Multilingual conversational chatbots driven by Generative AI excel in automating customer support. They can handle routine queries across multiple languages. They ensure customers receive quick and accurate responses in their native language. This helps in improving the efficiency of customer service teams, allowing them to focus on more complex queries. It also reduces wait times, enhancing customer satisfaction. One primary example of this would be a customer wanting information on their account balance or transaction history. They can receive instant responses without waiting for a human agent.

EMI Payment Reminder Calls

IndoCord, as a hyper-generative conversational bot, has the ability to personalise communication with customers. BFSI institutions can leverage this platform to send out tailored reminders for EMI payments. They can even incentivise timely payments while also providing information about the upcoming dues. For example, a message can be sent stating, “Reminder: Your EMI payment is due tomorrow. Pay today to enjoy a 10% discount on your next instalment!” This appeals to the customers’ desire to save money. Thereby, encouraging prompt payment. It enhances customer loyalty and also benefits the business.

Onboarding and KYC Process

The onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes can be daunting for new customers. This becomes a major challenge especially when there is a language barrier. Multilingual conversational chatbots can simplify these processes by guiding customers through each step in their preferred language. This makes it more accessible and less intimidating for customers. It not only speeds up the process through constant reminders but also ensures compliance and accuracy.

Enhancing Customer Experience: In a Nutshell

The future of chatbots in BFSI is exciting. The role of AI and machine learning in chatbot development is poised to grow, with a focus on enhancing personalisation and customisation. Multilingual conversational chatbots like IndoCord are bringing revolution to the BFSI domain.
