Log and record all the emails accordingly. The procedure that we follow is in accordance to our Turn Around Time (TAT) Monthly and General Reports along with the Summary and Monthly Fulfillment Report.

Analyzing the case depends on the concern of the customer. Majority of the cases are as follow: Accounts, Credit Cards, Loans, Telex Transfer, ATM Cards, Cheques and Letters, Internet Banking which includes: Internet banking deletion, unblocking, resending authorization code and updating email address, modification of personal details, and SMS and mobile banking.

Calling the customer. Normal inquiries that need only verification or confirmation, we opt to call the customer. We take the numbers through the registered SMS facility or in CRDB and PRIME. We will call the customer and inform them accordingly.

Sending Emails. There are two ways of replying to the customer. First is by responding through the secured email and the other one through their personal email address.
Upon the analysis of each case, the agent measures the importance of the email. There are some cases that need detailed steps and procedures. In this way the agent can not inform the customer over the phone as the customer might forget the process.
Agent chooses to officially replying through the secured email or through their personal email address. Most of the time, responding to emails is more efficient and effective since all answered secured emails are saved in the back
office database, and the non secured emails are available in sent items of Centralized Outlook. We keep our records just in case customer complains of not receiving reply from us.
Note: All of our replies to the customers are recorded in our log sheet indicating the timing we open the case and close them. If we contacted the customer, we put their phone number where we were able to reach them.

Following up emails. Some of the customers’ requests are being processed, approved or investigated by another department which can not be done only in the Contact Centre. Therefore, the Centralized Unit waits until we receive the reply from the concerned department in order to confirm with the customer and then we close the case accordingly.
