Human conversations available on digital channels

Unblu makes seamless investing a reality, allowing a client and their advisor to research, communicate and make decisions together. And when things are made simpler and easier for the client, their trust and confidence in their advisor grows.

Keeping up with client expectations can be challenging. Clients expect a whole lot more today than ever before. Their needs and wants are being reshaped by digital, social and mobile innovation. They want immediacy, simplicity and customized advice – and they want to communicate with their advisor whenever they need. Every conversation is an opportunity to get to know your client, to be helpful, relate to them and ultimately guide them through their financial decisions.

With Unblu’s Conversational Platform, wealth management firms focus on making human conversation available for every online interaction and on every channel. Ultimately there is no replacement for building a trusting relationship based on the very human aspects of needs, hopes, and fears. When human touch and expertise is combined with technological capabilities, the financial advisor can provide truly holistic experience, delivering value to the end client while driving revenue for the bank.

How our Private Banking clients use Unblu

We work with more than 150 financial institutions in the world, helping them to optimize their processes of advice, sales and online support. Our private banking client use our platform for topics such as:

Bring ideas to trade

Unblu features are game-changers for relationship managers. Instead of leaving a client “alone” in a digital channel, the advisor is integrated into their daily life, providing advice when and how the client wants it. With an omnichannel presence, the advisor can guide the client through the decision-making process. All this is done in a fully-audited, compliant and 100% secure manner.

Be in their customer’s pocket

We facilitate all communication through a digital channel. We have subsequently built out the audio chat, video chat capability, the ability to share and visualize documents. Also the capability to then have a secure conversation which is akin to WhatsApp, run by the bank as a service for their clients.

One conversation space to communicate and share research

Unblu’s Co-Browsing tool turns investing research efforts into a collaborative and helpful exchange. Using co-browsing, the advisor is alongside the client, guiding the research process, navigating with them through websites and documents during their conversation.

Design hybrid customer journeys

A client can text their advisor if that’s what is convenient for them. Or if they have more time, they may hop in the car and spontaneously visit them. Regardless of the channel they use, Unblu picks up the conversation where they last left off. Ultimately there is no replacement for building a trusting relationship based on the very human aspects of needs, hopes, and fears. When humanity and expertise are combined with technological capabilities, the financial advisor can provide truly holistic experience.

Provide relevant and contextual financial advice

To survive and thrive in this new reality, banks have to provide relevant and contextual financial advice that fits with a client’s situation. They also have to consistently demonstrate a true interest in their client’s financial well-being. These are challenging issues for the industry that will certainly shape the future. But our clients also see it as a window of opportunity for financial advisors to provide outstanding service to their clients and ultimately transform the customer experience.

Allow your clients to have an omnichannel relationship with their advisors

We allow clients to speak with their advisor when they want and how they want. While they have been quick to adopt online and mobile channels for service interactions, they still prefer human contact for important decisions. But they are reluctant to go into branch unless it’s for a worthwhile reason.

In a world with fewer branches, financial advisors will have to rely less on the traditional workspace and instead leverage technology to drive client engagement and build relationships. Their workspace is evolving into a virtual space and they need to be as connected as their clients in order not just to keep up with them, but to provide virtual advice that is relevant and useful.

Equip advisors with the right tools

The right tools are making all the difference. The spontaneous, natural flowing communication style of our everyday interactions is now available for our financial conversations. Connective digital tools like video chat, co-browsing and messenger allow the advisor and client to build a trusting relationship without needing to be in the same room. Financial advisors know these tools can extend their ability to address the needs, wants and preferences of their clientele.
