By letting customers know they are valued at a time of need, banks can retain customer loyalty and trust as they look beyond this current crisis. With such a large proportion of customers affected, we understand that our clients must also consider the treatment of customers in specific vulnerable circumstances and ensure adequate support is in place to meet their needs. This is a particular challenge given incoming volumes.
Your business must be ready for excess demand on call centres, quality control and general customer facing operations to ensure the efficient processing of customer requirements.
At Grant Thornton we pride ourselves on our integrity, credibility, experience and reputation for client and customer focused delivery. We are here to assist you and your customers during this difficult time. Grant Thornton’s teams are continuously working to provide support to our banking clients. Our professionals all meet the requirements of the Minimum Competency Code (MCC) as set out by the Central Bank Of Ireland.
