Eltropy

Headquarters: Milpitas, CA
Service Areas: Member Services, Mobile Payments, Online Member Support
What unique challenge do you help credit unions solve? Having the right conversations are critical to the success of a credit union. Most CUs agree that strengthening relationships with their members through both in-person and digital communication is not only important but increasingly vital to their success. In the process, having the right balance of digital and in-person methods for your call center/collections team and in-branch is key to efficiency. Eltropy helps solve this challenge – having an effective digital/in-person communication strategy. Such a strategy involves having a baseline of text, video, chat, and voice communication options; building on it a layer of automation with AI, intelligent virtual agents (IVA) and voice biometrics; and topping it off with intelligence that comes from utilizing data analytics. Doing this in a systematic, secure, and compliant way will ensure a credit union of improving their operations, engagement and productivity over time, growing both their top and bottom line.
Why should a credit union work with your organization in 2023? In June 2022, Eltropy acquired Video Banking leader POPi/o. Reinforced by POPi/o’s video banking and contact center technology, Eltropy now offers credit unions a single platform for automated, AI-driven text messaging, video banking, and secure chat, as well as chatbots, co-browsing, live observe and screen-sharing capabilities, along with eVerify, eNotary, eSign, and video check deposit. This powerful digital communications platform arms credit unions with end-to-end virtual branch capabilities – including in call center, collections, marketing and lending departments – helping them build connections and deliver on the personalized service that members expect. Credit unions can now use Eltropy to seamlessly connect their consumers with staff at any of their branches — from opening an account to originating loans or getting instant service.
