Scott Willson

The financial services industry is under immense pressure to meet and exceed customer expectations in the fast-paced digital era. Clients today demand quick, seamless interactions across many channels, including online platforms, mobile apps, and traditional in-person services. This shift has compelled financial institutions to offer services and provide exceptional, differentiating experiences.


The Hurdles of Traditional Financial Systems

Despite the growing demand for streamlined services, many financial institutions are bogged down by fragmented systems, cumbersome manual processes, and a lack of cross-departmental visibility. These inefficiencies lead to frustrating customer and employee experiences, ultimately impacting the institution's bottom line and reputation.

Case Study: Handling a Lost Credit Card

Imagine a customer reports a lost credit card. With ServiceNow, this event triggers an automated, efficient workflow. The account is immediately frozen, a new card is issued, and all systems are updated promptly. The customer stays informed through their chosen communication channel, while the financial institution benefits from robust audit trails that minimize compliance risks.

ServiceNow's prowess extends to other financial operations, such as resolving payment disputes, managing loan services, onboarding commercial clients, and efficiently handling customer complaints. Digitization of these workflows eradicates redundant manual tasks and significantly shortens process cycles.
