Just the voice to verify the identity of Tatra banka clients

Finance and Insurance

Over a long period, Tatra banka has shaped itself into the most innovative bank on the Slovak market. For example, in 2012 it was the first bank in the European Union to introduce a credit card integrated into their clients’ mobile phones. Voice biometrics has perfectly clicked with Tatra banka‘s profile. It enables the callers to the contact center to verify their identity based on their unique voice characteristics. No other bank in Slovakia, Central or Eastern Europe has offered anything similar through the years 2012 and 2013.

REQUIREMENTS

a system ensuring that the verification is carried out naturally during an ordinary
conversation with the operator
a verification fast enough and at least as safe as Card and Card ReaderTB
authentication

SOLUTION

Nuance FreeSpeech voice biometrics technology
extensive testing and debugging of the system so that the verification is carried out fast enough to prevent unauthorized access to the system and prevent rejection of legitimate log-in attempts
integration with other banking systems and creation of an intuitive user interface for agents of the contact center DIALOG Live (realized in collaboration with 2Ring Company using 2Ring AGENT DESKTOP solution)

RESULTS

Tatra banka, as the first bank on the Slovak market as well as in Central and Eastern Europe, has offered their clients the possibility of comfortable authentication through voice biometrics

Tatra banka clients now have several options for authentication in the contact center DIALOG Live, not only through their Card and Card ReaderTB systems

introduction of voice verification has proven attractive to clients - after two years since the launch of this service, DIALOG Live has registered 250,000 voice samples

resulting in shortening the average length of calls and an increase in the efficiency of the contact center, which will now be able to spend more time on selling activities

The average time of client identification process through the Card and Card ReaderTB is 1min, 21 sec. In comparison with 27 sec identification time through voice biometrics, we save 66% of the time in the client identification process.
