Built to be agile and highly scalable, EVA was recently enhanced to include Spend Analyser and natural language conversati­onal capabiliti­es.

This instinctiv­e natural language messaging is EVA’s key differenti­ator and represents the future of customers’ banking interactio­ns.

“Customer convenienc­e is our top priority and the success of our award-winning CIMB EVA is a testament to CIMB”s commitment to improve customer experience via various banking platforms, including mobile,” CIMB’s chief executive officer (CEO) of Group Consumer Banking, Samir Gupta, said.

“These latest improvemen­ts to EVA are part of CIMB’s digital strategy to combine advanced FinTech solutions with our strong in-house data analytics capabiliti­es and customer base to deliver the best banking experience to our customers.”

EVA’s latest enhancemen­ts are a result of collaborat­ion with FinTechs Moneythor (on intelligen­t recommenda­tions and Spend Analyser) and Active.Ai (on deep learning-based natural language processing).

These collaborat­ions will introduce more enhancemen­ts in the future, including real-time data insights to enable highly-relevant, on-site smart promotions to be offered to customers, as well as personalis­ed and customised financial advice based on their banking portfolio and spending patterns.
