Why Financial Service Providers Need Branded Communication
Scam calls cost consumers nearly $60 BILLION a year! No wonder they’re wary of divulging their information to an unknown caller. A branded phone call lets consumers know the caller is someone they can trust. In fact, customers prefer a phone call three times higher than SMS for talking with their financial institution .
