The Client

Banca Sella is one of Italy's longest-established private banking groups, serving retail and business customers across the country. From January 2020 it has run a conversational AI agent across its digital channels to carry the routine load of customer service. This is a European deployment by Vection Technologies, DXLabs' parent company. DXLabs brings the same platform and patterns to ANZ.

The Challenge

A bank's contact volume is dominated by the same questions, asked thousands of times a day: card services, account queries, branch information, how-do-I. Every one of them consumed agent capacity, and a quarter of inbound calls were reaching the wrong team entirely. The routine was crowding out the conversations that actually needed a banker.

What ran

A multichannel AI agent, built on the Algho conversational AI platform, sits across the bank's web and digital channels. It answers routine banking queries in natural language, screens and qualifies first-level requests, and hands anything needing judgement to a person with the context already gathered. It has run continuously in production since 2020, retrained as products and policies change.

What This Demonstrates

The routine clears itself. The highest-volume work in banking service is repetitive and pattern-shaped. Handled well by AI, it stops being a queue and the people get the cases that need them.
