THEIR GOAL
Providing better communication with credit card customers
Hang Seng Bank offers an array of spending privileges at over 4,000 merchant outlets – including hotels, restaurants and retailers – to its customers. Because of the volume of offers available, the financial institution found it challenging to tell customers about the rewards they were eligible for and that best matched their spending behavior. The bank wanted to find a solution that would ease and strengthen communication with its credit card holders and raise awareness of the rewards available to them.
THEIR SOLUTION
A Messenger powered digital assistant that allows credit card holders to search for offers and get recommendations
Hang Seng Bank chose to engage with SetSail to build an automated solution using machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) that could accurately read multilingual data to help credit card customers find suitable dining and shopping reward experiences. SetSail’s NLP platform allows the Messenger powered digital assistant to understand colloquial Cantonese and provides a more natural conversational experience. Built on an extensive knowledge base, the recommendation engine can perform multi-turn dialog with the customers to help them discover the most relevant offers for their needs.
Launched in January 2018, DORI (Dining, Offers, Rewards, Interactive), the bank’s Messenger-powered digital assistant, provided people with a faster, simpler and convenient service experience. With DORI acting as a round-the-clock assistant for customers, Hang Seng Bank is able to automatically recommend the most offers based on insights generated from consumer behaviour seamlessly. Additionally, people could use DORI to search for shopping and merchant discounts as well as make reservations at selected restaurants.
