The year 2021 for Bank Millennium was a time of further increasing the availability of services in remote channels, in terms of communication and the possibility of making transactions. Bank Millennium focused on enhancing customer self-service capabilities while providing support to employees at the same time. Effectively and in line with customer needs, the Bank combines modern methods of banking via a mobile application or transaction system with constant access to highly qualified branch staff and telephone advisors in all business lines. The dynamic development of remote advisor services, also in the area of affluent clients, increased the convenience of access to the Bank's services and products.
Innovation and highest quality of positive customer experience
The quality of customer service is one of the fundamental values for Bank Millennium. The market specificity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had a large impact on the Bank’s activities in the area of customer service and the scope and quality of products and services. The starting point was a thorough analysis of market trends as well as new customer expectations and attitudes towards banking. Thanks to the constant monitoring of customer needs, Bank Millennium effectively adjusts solutions to the dynamically changing market.
The dynamic development of customer service in remote channels posed another challenge for the Bank – the integration of contact channels and an even greater flow of information about customer needs. The solutions developed on the branch – remote service line allow customers to smoothly switch between service channels and gives possibility of executing transactions, including those initiated in a different contact channel, in a manner convenient for the customer. Increasing flexibility and a convenient transition between contact channels provides customers with a sense of consistent service, and thus comfortable banking.
Bank Millennium has taken dynamic steps to increase customer satisfaction – not only in terms of direct service, but also in terms of transparency of communication and language simplification. The signing by the Bank of the „Declaration on the plain language standard” gave the institution another impulse to continue work on improving quality by simplifying communication – both external and internal.
