Introduction

Banks receive thousands of repetitive inquiries daily — customers asking about loan eligibility, interest rates, account balances, transaction limits, and credit card issues. Human agents often face long queues, limited working hours, and high workloads, leading to slow response times and customer frustration.

Many customers abandon loan applications midway due to delays in getting basic information, resulting in lost revenue opportunities and poor customer satisfaction.

The Challenges

Companies often struggle with:

  • High volumes of repetitive inquiries about account balances, card services, and loan eligibility.
  • Delayed response times due to limited staff availability during peak hours or outside business hours.
  • Human agents spending significant time on simple, repetitive questions rather than high-value tasks.
  • Potential for reduced customer satisfaction and trust if inquiries are delayed or mishandled.

These challenges can strain customer support teams and impact brand reputation.
