Dubbed as Ask Sara, the new virtual assistant is available on the public website as well as within the secure log-in area where she can assist customers with various tasks, such as form completion.

The bank said that the V-Person is integrated with live chat and escalates users needing further assistance to a live agent.

The animated avatar provides a fun experience for users through interactions such as waving and tapping on the screen after a period of inactivity and, when used after hours, appearing in a darkened office.

Commercial Bank of Dubai personal banking group deputy general manager Frans Jan Burkens said, "One goal for the launch of our new online banking portal was to provide our customers with an innovative and personalized experience."
