How we helped a leading private sector bankâs high-risk credit card customers choose EMI options to repay outstanding interest
Summary
This leading private sector bank has a mammoth network of branches and ATMs across India. The pandemic dealt a huge blow to the bank, increasing its financial burden and customer credit risk. The financial institution wanted to reduce their non-performing assets and sought an effective, low-cost solution to move high-risk credit card customers into the healthy payment history segment.
Challenge
With close to 1 lakh high-risk credit card customers every month, the credit card collection department was looking for a successful way to contact their customers and also offer a solution that could help fill their coffers. They had to reach out to customers fast to lessen their financial burden and secure the bankâs position by not allowing the loans to become non-performing assets. Traditional outbound calls did not help in this aspect and setting up a call center would have required 100+ agents, adding to the bankâs financial strain and leading to complex management issues.
Solution
We offered the bank an effective visual IVR solution through which customers could choose to convert accrued balance to loans at the rate of 20% interest for six months, 22% interest for 12 months, or 24% interest for 18 months. The uptake was wonderful and within three months of launching the solution, 1,000 credit due cases were assigned to us. We successfully converted more than 12% cases into EMI, thereby helping the bank to secure its position and also providing relief to customers. This was one of the landmark use cases in the bankâs history and it paved the path for us to support many more use cases for the financial institution.
