Bank of Ireland has announced a €34 million investment in its customer service infrastructure.
In upgrading its telephony and CRM systems, Bank of Ireland's tech investment intends to produce quicker resolution of customer calls, improved self-service options (such as changing account addresses, ordering duplicate statements, and requesting new cards), increased availability of transactions 24/7 via phone, and enhanced customer security measures.
"This is the largest single investment in enhanced systems and technology for our frontline colleagues in branches and contact centres that the Bank has ever made," said Susan Russell, CEO of Bank of Ireland Retail Ireland. "We receive more than 11,000 calls on average each day, and when customers call us, they want speed, expertise and security."
This investment equips colleagues with the latest technology to provide better and faster resolution of calls, and colleagues will now have a ‘single view’ of the customer at the touch of a button, providing them with instant access to all their information without having to talk to another part of the bank. This investment will make things faster and better for customers and for colleagues, it’s a win-win.”
