Implements ENACOMM’s secure, speech and touch-tone enabled IVR banking to provide customers with fast, intelligent self-service
Maple Lake, MN, Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Star Bank customers are now able to take advantage of a more modern banking experience by speaking to a new, intelligent interactive voice response (IVR) system to access their account information and conduct transactions. Star Bank, a family-owned, Independent Community Bank serving customers throughout Central Minnesota, recently implemented a Voice Banking product from ENACOMM, a fintech company that empowers banks, credit unions and credit card companies with affordable, intelligent solutions for improving the customer experience (CX), fighting financial fraud, and increasing operational efficiency. This hosted, dynamic IVR system for personalized and truly intelligent customer interactions is part of the ENACOMM Financial Suite (EFS).
“Star Bank has just completed a huge technology upgrade, which entailed installing a new core technology solution and next-generation digital banking services,” shared Harry Wahlquist, President/CEO of Star Bank. “We replaced an outdated speech-enabled banking system with ENACOMM’s intelligent IVR solution. The transition has been successful, and we are hearing good feedback from our customers. The Voice Banking solution is easy to use, and the options that customers have to hear balances, make transfers, and more are very convenient.”
Wahlquist added, “Star Bank customers are like family, which motivates us to provide the best possible customer experience. This ongoing effort includes catering to their changing needs, which is also important for the growth of our organization. Employing the ENACOMM solution was a great choice to make for assisting our customers.”
Whether speaking to the IVR via phone or touching the keypad, Star Bank customers can choose from a variety of authentication combinations to access an optimized menu that enables intelligent interactions. The highly-refined, personalized navigation with improved prompting provides a streamlined interface that ensures a seamless, secure customer experience. A quick balance feature reflects the fact that balance inquiry is the number one menu selection among IVR users, providing additional convenience to Star Bank customers.
Star Bank’s adoption of Voice Banking integrates with ENACOMM’s product ViA®, a powerful analytics tool that improves the IVR experience, as well as an ENACOMM-hosted dashboard named Engage that maximizes IVR capabilities and unifies customer communications across all interaction channels to create an omnichannel customer experience.
“Star Bank is everything that consumers love about banking local—it’s dedicated to improving the communities in which it operates and positively impacting the lives of its customers every day,” commented ENACOMM CEO Michael Boukadakis. “ENACOMM is proud to help advance Star Bank’s customer focus by modernizing its self-service experience with sophisticated systems and services that reliably process spoken, data and touch-tone requests in real-time.”
The ENACOMM Financial Suite provides a range of software tools, from powerful voice biometrics to customer relationship management (CRM), as well as added levels of security. ENACOMM’s data-powered IVR solution uses customer intelligence to efficiently direct calls, personalization to help retain customers, and context preservation to provide fast, superior self-service.
