“We believe that in order to stay relevant, universal banks must evolve and be fully aligned with customer expectations, not only with financial products, but more importantly, in areas related to widely understood customer experience. As interactions increasingly rely on digital channels, this puts pressure on the banks to keep up with the major players in this area, and it opens new opportunities for deep and exciting dialogue with the customers. CSOB has the right approach and it is well prepared for the future challenges”, says Jakub Piotrowski, CMO & Head of Sales, Meniga.
In this project, Meniga used Trask as our trusted implementation partner to ensure effective integration and a unique service to meet the customer requirements.
