VakıfBankCustomer story · Banking

The AI assistant that answers banking questions instantly on the website.

Vibi, VakıfBank's AI-based banking virtual assistant, was rebuilt on the CBOT Platform and powered by CBOT's NLP technology. Serving on the bank's website, it gives existing and potential customers instant, 24/7 support across hundreds of banking topics.

01Executive summary

VakıfBank wanted its customers and potential customers to reach the bank's products and services anytime, anywhere, and through the channel of their choice. The goal was a seamless, natural experience where questions are answered instantly.

Serving on VakıfBank's website, Vibi answers frequently asked banking questions, calculates deposit and loan interest, provides exchange-rate information, and guides customers on card applications, password transactions, the nearest ATM or branch and more. To keep data security at the highest level, the system runs through an on-premise installation.
