MKB develops innovative digital solutions to improve customer service
On March 16, Credit Bank of Moscow (MKB) and GenerationS held a demo day as part of the "MKB Reactor" business accelerator. The first pool of fintech startups that successfully passed the acceleration stage presented their projects.
The projects proposed for evaluation by the jury are aimed at improving the bank's customer service and automating processes: a video analytics system in offices, a robotic system for client calls, a system for analyzing conversations with clients in a contact center, and others.
The MKB will continue working with all the finalists, allocating the necessary funds for the completion of pilot projects. Based on the results of the pilots, the number of projects will be identified to get the opportunity for a long-term cooperation with the bank.
"Together with the MKB team, we managed to implement a large-scale project which involved not only the bank, but also its subsidiaries. This has significantly expanded the capabilities of the accelerator participants – a number of pilot projects are already being implemented, and some startups are solving several tasks at once. We are confident that thanks to the innovative technologies offered by startups, the processes in the MKB will become even more convenient for the bank's clients," – said Ekaterina Petrova, Managing director of GenerationS.
