The Business Issue
NatWest is one of the largest financial services organizations in the U.K. with around 16 million customers across the main business lines of personal banking, small business banking, and commercial and private wealth customers. With the COVID-19 pandemic, NatWest responded with agility by quickly deploying new and updating existing next-best-action strategies for a consistent and empathetic experience across channels.
The Solution
With Pega’s Customer Decision Hub, NatWest has helped customers during the global pandemic by delivering personalized next best actions across inbound, outbound, physical, and digital channels. For example, NatWest created dedicated lines of communication to health service professionals in the call-center and customized digital channels so that customers could receive the same level of experience without leaving their homes.
By centralizing their decisioning, data, and analytics, NatWest was able to make changes to its next-best-action strategies once then rapidly deploy those changes across all channels – ensuring that each customer experience is consistent and highly relevant to their current situation.
