AI customer service for banking and finance

Why AI customer service for banking and finance?

The banking and finance industry is experiencing an enormous volume of customer inquiries – many of them repetitive and time-consuming. Balance inquiries, transaction status, card blocking, and general questions about products make up a significant part of the customer service center’s workload.

With Snakk.ai’s AI voice agent, you can automate these routine inquiries and give customers immediate assistance – around the clock, with no waiting time. At the same time, you free up valuable time for your advisors, allowing them to focus on complex cases and value-creating customer meetings.

What can the AI agent do for banking and finance?

Balance inquiries and account overview

Customers often call just to check their balance or get an overview of their accounts. The AI agent handles this immediately by:

• Securely authenticate the customer via BankID or other approved methods
• Retrieve real-time data from the core banking system
• Provide the customer with accurate information about balance, available amount, and recent transactions
• Send account statements by SMS or email upon request

Transaction status and payments

Questions about payments that haven’t gone through, or the status of transfers, are among the most common inquiries. The agent can:

• Check the status of pending and completed transactions
• Explain why a payment may have failed
• Provide information about the expected arrival time for transfers
• Help set up recurring payments and AvtaleGiro

Loan inquiries and interest rate questions

Potential and existing loan customers often have questions about interest rates, terms, and the application process. The AI agent can:

• Provide information about current interest rates and loan terms
• Explain the difference between different loan products
• Start a pre-approval process
• Book a meeting with a loan advisor for complex cases
• Provide an update on existing loan applications

Card blocking and fraud alerts

When customers discover suspicious activity or have lost their card, time is of the essence. The agent can:

• Block card immediately after secure authentication
• Order a new card and inform about the delivery time
• Register fraud reports and escalate them to the appropriate department
• Provide guidance on what the customer should do next

Appointment booking with an advisor

For matters that require human expertise, the agent books a meeting directly in the advisor’s calendar:

• Identifies the customer's needs and matches them with the right advisor
• Finds available times that suit the customer
• Sends confirmation and reminder automatically
• Gives the advisor full context before the meeting
