UmweltBank Improves Customer Service with Spitch Collaborative AI
The solution automatically identifies call reasons and routes customers to the right team – helping callers reach the right person without delays.
UmweltBank AG, the sustainability-focused direct bank based in Nuremberg, has introduced Spitch’s Collaborative AI system to make customer service faster, smarter, and more convenient. The solution automatically identifies call reasons and routes customers to the right team – helping callers reach the right person without delays.
Customers simply state their request in natural language, and within seconds the AI analyzes the topic and connects them to the appropriate department. If no agent is available immediately, a callback can be requested during the call. For UmweltBank, this has not only improved accessibility but also enhanced customer satisfaction.
Banking is a matter of trust. We use AI, and we will use it more and more – but always in a supportive role. Not with the aim of having nothing but a bot answer our calls.
AI that understands real conversations
One of the key reasons for the strong acceptance among callers is Spitch’s ability to understand dialects and people from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The system recognizes more than 40 call categories and analyzes context rather than relying only on keywords. That means it can correctly interpret requests even when customers speak informally or use regionally specific expressions. With recognition rates of 90% or more, UmweltBank benefits from accurate call routing, fewer errors, and a smoother customer experience. The bank currently receives around 400 calls per day, and the solution has delivered positive results from day one – without any noticeable increase in call abandonment rate.
Better insights, greater flexibility
Beyond intelligent call routing, Spitch provides UmweltBank with dashboards, automated reports, and configurable response texts. This gives the bank valuable insights into call volumes, peak times, and the topics customers are calling about. These analytics support more effective workforce planning, well-targeted marketing initiatives, and better-informed decision-making. The system can also be updated easily without IT involvement, allowing UmweltBank to quickly adapt routing messages and promote new campaigns, offers, or customer events.
Secure, compliant, and future-ready
Spitch’s solution runs in an EU cloud and meets European and German requirements for data protection, documentation, auditability, and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) compliance. Looking ahead, the bank plans to expand its use of Spitch with additional modules for automated call consent and customer segmentation.
