Worldline and Nuance empower Customer Care solution in BNL’s contact centers and branches
Major Italian bank will deploy WL Contact, a customer interaction management platform, and Nuance secure intelligent engagement solutions to provide conversational omnichannel customer experience
Roma — 24 / 02 / 2022
Worldline, the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry, will deploy an omnichannel customer engagement solution in strong collaboration with Nuance Communications, Inc. to support BNL multi-year customer care transformation project. Part of BNP Paribas Group, BNL offers retail and commercial banking services throughout Italy, with a clear focus on offering exceptional experiences for every customer.
Through WL Contact, a proven contact center solution that will enable the processing of all customer interactions, regardless of the channel used, combined with Nuance Conversational AI and security solutions, BNL will be able to deliver seamless, secure customer journeys and conversational experiences in every channel.
The project will include the implementation of voice, email, chat and social media channels and will equip 7,000 advisors located in contact centers but also in bank branches and back offices. The WL Contact solution gives advisors a unified view of customer interactions and intelligent support tools to deliver a first contact response.
“We want to provide simple, convenient experiences for our customers while keeping their accounts secure,” said Saverio Ferraro, CIO at BNL. “The new technology will help us fulfill our vision of delivering frictionless, conversational customer care.”
Innovative voice technologies to improve customer service
With Nuance technology already in place to drive business decisions, BNL is now working on the deployment of Nuance natural language IVR integrated with the Worldline omnichannel solution, allowing customers to state their issues in their own words and get faster resolutions to their queries. The bank will also deploy Nuance voice biometrics, which authenticates customers based on unique characteristics in their “voiceprint”, eliminating the effort of remembering PINs and passwords while increasing security and fighting fraud. And over the next few years, BNL will add further Nuance Conversational AI solutions as it continues its transformation of customer care.
"Nuance AI-powered customer engagement, security, and analytics solutions help brands offer superior omnichannel experiences," said Tony Lorentzen, SVP of Intelligent Engagement Solutions at Nuance. “We’re delighted that BNL has chosen Nuance and Worldline to help it deliver convenient, conversational, and secure customer journeys.”
A long-term Nuance-Worldline partnership
Over the past few years, Nuance and Worldline have worked together to help make conversational customer experiences a reality at BNL and other BNP Paribas affiliates across Europe.
“We’re excited to expand our successful partnership with Nuance and help BNL achieve its ambitious goals for customer care with these market-leading AI solutions,” said Virginie Besse, Head of Sales WL Contact at Worldline.
