Transforming Customer Experience: A Major CEE Bank’s Success Story With DRUID AI Agents

This leading CEE bank is revolutioning its customer experience by introducing BIANCA, an DRUID AI agent, demonstrating its commitment to digital innovation and customer convenience in banking.

Internal efficiency, external satisfaction.

In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of banking, Bulgarian American Credit Bank (BACB) found itself at a crossroads. The traditional banking model, characterized by in-person interactions and manual processes, was becoming increasingly outdated. Customers were demanding more digital, convenient, and personalized services. In addition, the banking landscape was becoming more competitive, with non-traditional financial entities and fintech startups offering innovative solutions and services.

In this context, the bank recognized the need to enhance the customer experience and provide easy access to information. The bank understood that a superior customer experience could be a key differentiator in the crowded banking market. It could help build customer loyalty, attract new customers, and ultimately drive growth and profitability.

To meet this need, they decided to leverage the power of technology. The bank believed that artificial intelligence (AI) could play a crucial role in transforming the customer experience. AI could automate routine tasks, provide instant responses to customer queries, and offer personalized services. Therefore, the customer partnered with DigiTech Consult’s team of developers to create BIANCA, a DRUID AI agent.

The Challenge

The challenge the bank faced was multi-faceted. On one hand, the bank needed to meet the rising customer expectations for fast, simple, and seamless banking experiences. Customers wanted to get answers to their questions, apply for loans, or open accounts without having to visit a branch or wait on the phone. They wanted to do all these tasks at their convenience, from the comfort of their homes or offices.

On the other hand, the bank needed to address a wide range of customer queries related to various banking products and services. These included credit or deposit and product savings, necessary information for different types of accounts, overdraft, or mortgage loans. The bank also needed to cater to both individuals and business clients, each with their unique needs and preferences.

Moreover, the bank needed to ensure that the solution was scalable and adaptable. The solution had to handle a large volume of customer queries and interactions. It also had to evolve with changing customer expectations and technological advancements.
