As of today (2), Banco do Brasil customers will be able to contract personal credit operations via whatsapp. The bank became the first in the country to use the messaging application for taking out loans.
The whole process is done through whatsapp. The client just starts a conversation with the number (61) 4004-0001 to contract the operation. The artificial intelligence assistant allows the simulation of conditions, such as due date, interest and value of the installments, before hiring.
Customers who already have personal loans with the bank will also be able to use whatsapp to follow the statement of operations. Until the end of the year, BB intends to expand the offer of credit through the application, including payroll-deductible credit, anticipation of income tax refund, anticipation of the thirteenth and vehicle credit.
In the last 90 days, BB made more than 23 million calls through virtual assistants. According to the bank, a large part of this total was related to doubts about credit operations. The technological solution, informed the financial institution, was developed based on customer reports.
