Top 50 Retail Bank Expands Customer Reach with Multilingual Support
The Challenge



A Southeast-based top 50 retail bank faced challenges in serving its customer base, particularly in areas with high concentrations of limited English proficient (LEP) customers. The bank's existing in-house language support teams were overwhelmed, unable to meet the growing demand for multilingual services. This gap in language support not only affected customer satisfaction but also limited the bank's ability to expand its services and reach in these crucial markets.
The Solution



TransPerfect was selected as the bank's preferred language partner due to a comprehensive over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) solution. This choice was based on our extensive experience, robust security measures, and ability to scale services as needed. The implementation began with covering nine business units and quickly expanded to 13, demonstrating the solution's adaptability. TransPerfect's OPI service provided access to skilled interpreters across a wide range of languages, ensuring that the bank could serve its diverse customer base effectively.
The Results
The partnership with TransPerfect transformed the bank's ability to serve its LEP customers. In the first year alone, we handled over 200,000 minutes of interpretation, which has since grown to more than 700,000 minutes annually. This significant increase in capacity allowed the bank to extend its monthly language support to over 4,000 LEP customers across more than 30 languages. By providing a seamless banking experience to all customers, regardless of their spoken language, the bank has improved customer satisfaction and also positioned itself for growth in diverse markets. This successful implementation of multilingual support has set a new standard for inclusive banking services in the region.
