Digital banks and neobanks are growing fast, but customer support costs are growing even faster. Traditional call centers can eat up 20-30% of operating expenses. The good news? AI call handling is helping forward-thinking digital banks slash support costs by up to 70% while delivering better service.
Here’s exactly how AI for digital banks works and why it’s becoming the industry standard.
The Biggest Challenge: Peak Volume Spikes
Digital banks face massive call spikes when:
Payday hits
New features launch
Market volatility affects crypto/fintech products
System outages occur
Hiring enough agents to cover these peaks is expensive. Keeping them idle during quiet periods is wasteful.
A banking virtual assistant powered by AI answers every call instantly no queues, no abandoned calls, and no overtime pay.
