Impact and evolution of NCU 
Carolyn Jordan
SVP, Remote Services & Member Development Neighborhood Credit Union
Our call handling rates improved from 50% to 90% within 2 days of Nick's deployment, which has allowed our agents to focus more on high-quality work along with enhancing our member satisfaction levels.
The Problem
Carolyn Jordan
SVP, Remote Services & Member Development Neighborhood Credit Union
“Due to the pandemic, we experienced around 10-15% increase in call center calls. This increased call volume led to an increase in our abandonment rates from 5-8% to 15 - 20%. We were on the lookout for a solution that would help us solve bottlenecks at the call center level & improve our service levels for members.”
Goals of implementing an Intelligent Virtual Assistant
- Respond to member inquiries instantly 24×7
- Reduce abandonment rates & call wait time to 0%
- Improve first call resolution rates
- Offer personalized experiences for members
- Continuously learn from member interactions and improve
- Offer 24×7 contact center for members
- Improve operational efficiency across the organization
- Increased efficiencies will lead staff to spend more time tending to the members in need
