The new capabilities unlock in-depth visibility and understanding of the customer base, acting as a real-time data analyst, enabling financial institutions to build automated sales, marketing, customer service and customer experience journeys, with scale, ease and precision.
The benefits of Drive
Bud’s new Drive product covers four fundamental elements: An AI-powered, actionable Insights Engine. This is designed to uncover real-time insights within the banks’ existing customer data and leverage an unparalleled level of customer understanding based on everyday financial transactions. An AI Insights Analytics finder. This identifies patterns and trends that can be quickly and easily acted upon to allow banks to grow both their product and service offering, supporting high-level objectives such as increasing deposits, reducing credit risk or increasing mortgage or loan revenue/targeting.
Additionally, it has an Action Hub that transforms insights into action by integrating seamlessly with banks’ current and existing analytics and communication tools and infrastructure, to power next-best action initiatives and review the success of previous actions.
Fourthly, a generative AI chatbot, Drive Copilot. A chatbot-driven insight discovery experience, allowing banking staff to simply identify and act on high-impact opportunities.
