Frictionless Voice Authentication for an Easy Contact Center Experience
Illuma Shield™ helps contact centers at credit unions and community banks move callers through the verification process much faster by eliminating the time and friction caused by asking “out of wallet” questions. Our voice authentication solution accomplishes the rare feat of improving contact center operations in three areas:
- Create a frictionless experience for members and customers
- Reduce fraud risk far better than security questions
- Substantially reduce the workload for contact center agents
Recognize Callers on the Phone Like You Would in the Branch
Our proprietary technology continuously analyzes the unique characteristics of the speaker’s voice and calling device using state-of-the-art Signal Processing, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence technologies. In the background of each phone call, we passively create an irreversible AudioPrint™ of the callers’ voice and use it to verify their identity on subsequent calls. This happens during natural conversation without requiring security Q&A or spoken passphrases.
Now Is the Right Time for Voice Authentication
Enrollment in our system is quick and easy. Callers don’t have to do anything other than say “yes!” and keep talking.
- No special line members or customers have to call
- No hold time to get enrolled
- No password phrase they have to record, repeat, or remember
People even call in proactively to enroll in the program once they hear about it!
High Adoption:
More than 95% of those invited agree to enroll.
How it Works
Contact Center Agents Agree:
Illuma Shield™ Makes Things Easy
This software removes friction and frustration in the authentication process without adding new windows, lots of clicks, or unnecessary data entry during or after the call. The user interface shows up on the agent’s existing screen, so they don’t have to open up a different window.
