Taylor continues, "Recent industry data and research suggest that dead-end customer journeys are a major factor for consumers to leave their current financial institution. A frictionless experience is what they are seeking. This strategic partnership with Abe.ai connects the dots digitally by providing options for consumers to choose their path of engagement. It's another great step forward in building a world class digital customer engagement platform for financial institutions."
