Permanent TSB - Open24 Internet Banking
The Challenge
Established following the merger of Irish Life & Permanent and TSB Bank, permanent tsb is a leading provider of personal financial services, with over half a million customers. In an increasingly competitive market place, facing intense competition, permanent tsb needed to improve service efficiency. They turned to Kainos to develop a telephone banking solution.
The Solution
Kainos designed and developed permanent tsb’s Open24 solution. This allows customers to access their accounts by phone at any time; for the bank, it provides functionality for each customer to have an Open24 number and their own unique access number, providing a secure service for its customers. The Open24 system integrates with other computer systems in the bank. A new, intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides an interface to existing systems and new databases.
The Open24 system enables telephone agents to respond quickly to customer requests for balances, to pay bills, check transactions, order statements and set up standing orders.
