Case Study: Modernizing Contact Centers for Smarter Member Service for a Regional Credit Union

In a highly competitive financial landscape, member satisfaction is the cornerstone of growth and loyalty. A regional credit union serving over 250,000 members through a network of 30 branches, recognized the urgent need to transform its contact center operations.

Their goal: provide faster, smarter, and more human-centric service, while reducing operational burdens on internal teams.

That’s when Connex stepped in.

The Challenge: Outdated Technology vs. Rising Member Expectations

Despite its strong community presence, the credit union faced increasing service friction due to:

• A legacy on-premise contact center platform
• Manual, DTMF-based IVR interactions with limited functionality
• Disjointed systems lacking real-time insights
• High dependency on in-house IT for system maintenance and updates

With members demanding faster resolutions and intuitive self-service, a full transformation was not just ideal, it was essential.
