Enhanced Data Access Improves Operational Efficiency and Customer Experience

Empowering Wintrust

As a financial services organization operating 15 nationally chartered banks throughout Illinois and Wisconsin, Wintrust was looking for a better way for its call center to deliver the community bank experience that is the foundation of its business. With disconnected systems and data processes, it needed a solution that could deliver fast access to a unified view of customer accounts to respond to calls efficiently and effectively. With FIS Code Connect, Wintrust provides the personal service customers expect from a local branch while decreasing call handle time and increasing savings on cost per call.
