Multi-partner managementCOMING SOON

Enrich your employees’ day-to-day

Be the bank that people want to work for

In-branch staff

Focus and centralize your remote team for a better agent-customer ratio – while training the remaining in-branch staff to take on more advisory roles.
Let advisors focus on their core mission of advising customers, without doubling as walk-in receptionists.

Secure authentication

Embrace contact center channel diversity, adding Video & Voice, Co-Browsing, and Live Chat to the traditional email and phone options.
Give your agents a competitive edge by adding an innovative skill set working with Video & Voice in a remote branch context.

Branch managers

Draw on your remote team to cover absences. Give managers peace of mind for when front-office staff are sick, taking part in training, or have personal time off.

Leverage AI in-branch

Enhance efficiency, improve accessibility, and automate workflows for a seamless client experience.

Break down language barriers

Enable live captions and real-time translations to ensure smooth and inclusive communication in over 30 different languages.

Post-call transcripts

Full call transcripts are available during and after conversations, ensuring accurate records for compliance while following security measures.

Standout use cases for remote and in-person service

Bank customer journeys take place across many digital and physical touchpoints. Sometimes, information can fall through the gaps. By aligning your physical and digital channels you can keep bank representatives fully in the loop – and deliver the highest possible value.

Two-thirds (67%) of consumers like seeing branches in their neighborhood as it portrays the stability and availability of their bank.

Beyond its innovative aspect, Unblu Branch is a great example of how technology can improve the traditional banking business. The fact that the hybrid branch is accepted by both customers and bank employees is the cornerstone of its success. It is a great stepping stone towards the future of the bank branch, whatever it will be.

Chairman of the board, Raiffeisenbank Regio Frick-Mettauertal
We saw a very smooth transfer of in-branch tasks to our digital service and the new design is better accepted by clients because digital components have been added.

André Bodmer

Head of Customer Service Center | Corporate Developer
Unblu Branch has been a great tool to digitize not only our existing bank reception, but also help with branch expansion initiatives, as associated human resources constraints were lifted. In the coming years, we will explore how the solution can support us further within our customer advisory services.
