CallVU is the first to enable financial service companies anywhere in the world to use fingerprint
and facial recognition to identify callers via smartphone during service calls.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL – September 18, 2018 – When credit card customers call for service, they need to remember and supply a long list of passwords and personally identifying information. But now, with the advanced biometric authentication capabilities of CallVU’s Digital Engagement solution, a large international credit card company can instantly verify callers using the fingerprint recognition features on its customers’ smartphones.

By adopting CallVU’s Digital Engagement technology, the credit card company provides its 2 million plus
customers with significant benefits:

• Fast, simple access to advanced self-service options
• No need to remember, and constantly change, passwords
• No need to be routed to a live agent for verification
• Safe and secure communications that meet the strictest regulatory requirements
• More accurate call routing

Most customers who call a credit card company’s service lines authenticate themselves by providing
personal information such as user name, ID or social security number, date of birth as well as answering
a limited number of personal questions, such as “what is your mother’s maiden name?”. Callers who
cannot provide their password or answer the questions are diverted to a contact center agent. The
agent then has to authenticate them using a series of personal identifiable information, such as account
number, the name of their spouse, home address, etc.

Unfortunately, social engineering based on information easily found via social networks and Google
searches makes it easy for criminals to obtain usernames, passwords, and other personal data that was
previously more difficult to access. With Internet-available information, criminals can easily trick an
automated service or live agent into giving away more information and even performing financial
transactions. In contrast, the use of advanced biometrics makes it nearly impossible to steal personal
identification and ensures the highest level of data security.

“Customers of most financial services—banks, credit unions, investment services—expect the very best
services they can get, at any hour of the day, via a friendly and secure interface,” said Ori Faran, Founder, and CEO of CallVU. “With CallVU’s Digital Engagement solution, these customers get the service they need
quickly with a wide range of self-service options that eliminate the need to wait on the line for an agent.

Adding CallVU’s biometrics to the credit card holder’s self-service offering further simplifies customers’
access to advanced digital services while strengthening data security.”
In addition to easing customer use, CallVU maximizes ease of use and flexibility for financial institutions
by offering multiple ways to verify caller identity. Organizations have the option of choosing the type of
biometric information they want to use—whether fingerprint, facial or a combination of both—to
maximize customer security or ease of use.

CallVU’s advanced Digital Engagement Platform helps leading organizations around the world to
automate customer experiences and maximize digital usage in order to reduce costs, improve service
and increase sales conversions. CallVU has helped companies reduce contact center call volumes by over
30%, cut average sales or service call duration by over 25% and increase sales conversion by 50%-500%.
With enhanced digital interactions – both self-service and in combination with live calls – CallVU powers
easier and more complete transactions for both customers and agents.
