Buddy Bank

Buddy Bank is UniCredit's digital-first banking platform designed for modern customers who expect instant support. We built an AI-powered chatbot that provides 24/7 customer assistance directly within the app and website. The intelligent system handles account inquiries, card management, product information, and appointment scheduling delivering instant answers to thousands of banking questions every day.

The Challenge

Digital banking customers expect instant answers at 2 AM just as much as at 2 PM. But traditional banking support couldn't keep up. Human agents worked limited hours, customers waited in chat queues, and simple questions like checking account balances or blocking cards required talking to a person. Buddy Bank faced the classic support problem: how to scale customer service without hiring hundreds of agents for 24/7 coverage. Customers abandoned the app when they couldn't get immediate help. Repetitive questions overwhelmed the support team. And young customers who chose Buddy Bank for its digital-first approach were the most frustrated when banking tasks required waiting for business hours.

The Solution

We built a complete AI-powered support system in 6 months an intelligent chatbot that handles customer inquiries 24/7 without human intervention. The AI integrates directly with Buddy Bank's core systems to provide real-time account information, process card management requests, and complete banking operations autonomously. Customers ask questions in natural Italian, and the system understands intent, verifies identity securely, and delivers accurate answers instantly. For complex issues requiring human expertise, the chatbot seamlessly schedules appointments with advisors and transfers conversation context so customers don't repeat themselves. Built with advanced natural language processing and complete banking compliance, the system learns from every interaction and improves over time.
