The respondents also provided positive feedback about the AI-powered chatbots currently being deployed by multiple banks. About 44% of them said they can interact with a chatbot than a real person, provided these AI solutions can offer reliable guidance and support.

Humley chief product officer Ed Smith said: “In an increasingly digital world, financial institutions are putting a lot of thought behind how to improve the online customer experience and adopting the right kind of chatbot can make quite the difference.

“AI-powered chatbots with natural language capabilities that put subject matter experts in control will save banks valuable time and resources while improving customer satisfaction across generations.”
