We don't have telephone trees or automated attendants.
We have people.
So when a senior homeowner requested a $10,000 loan draw and told us he'd won the Canadian lottery? A phone tree wouldn't have detected the red flag of fraud; our Borrower Care Associate did. Then she drew on her special training, gained the customer’s confidence, and uncovered a scam.
And in doing so, she protected the borrower’s assets, as well as our client’s reputation. Lottery “officials” had instructed the homeowner to send them $10,000; then, they would send him the winnings. "Isn't that great?" the man had asked. It wasn’t, of course. Just another scam targeting seniors.
What was great was the financial disaster averted because people – people skilled in borrower care protection – answer our phones.
