How Axos Bank uses Glance
With Glance, Axos bankers can see exactly what an account holder sees on their screen as they navigate the online banking app. Agents can guide customers through a number of transactions, including bill payments, fund transfers, and the completion of applications for bank products like mortgages and personal loans.
Glance collaboration sessions can be launched easily by the banker, and Glance requires no download from the customer. It is a frictionless experience for the banker and the customer that works with any computer or mobile web browser the customer might be using.
Glance is engineered to comply with the strictest security and privacy standards of financial services companies. Sensitive personal information in the customer’s online banking account can be masked from the view of the banker. Glance encrypts all transmitted data and employs enterprise-class SSO.
How did we do it?
“Human interaction, especially when it’s related to finance, is an inherently emotional and sensitive topic,” said Jonathan Crane, senior vice president of Axos’ Centers of Excellence. “Our goal is to meet our clients in the way they best prefer to interact. Sometimes they do need that higher touch connection.”
The technology, provided by Glance, is a Javascript tag that’s coded into the online banking portal that lets customer service agents see exactly what an account holder sees on their screen as they peruse the bank’s website. Its bankers can “co-browse” with customers and guide them through a number of transactions.
Once screen sharing is enabled, the banker can use their cursor to direct customers where they need to click in their account to initiate a transaction, find information, or enter sensitive information. On their end, the banker never sees any sensitive financial details that a customer enters into a specified field. Before a connection is made, the lender will alert the customer about exactly what the banker has access to and can view in the account.
For further assurance, the banker can initiate a one-way video feed that shows the customer they’re being attended to in real time. Unlike IT remote access, however, Axos’ representatives do not have the ability to initiate or complete any transactions on behalf of the customer.
