UnionBank Techs Up to understand and serve clients in trailblazing ways

"With this, the user will have a more convenient journey by using voice as naturally and as efficient as possible and will surely be confident about being secured." ~Bryan Bramaskara, a Data Scientist from UnionBank’s AI CoE

UnionBank Techs Up to understand and serve clients in trailblazing ways. AI-powered innovation to enable unprecedented, convenient, and more secure user experience.

Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank), through its Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Center of Excellence (AI & Innovation CoE), has strengthened its position as a trailblazer in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) as it reports promising results in developing game-changing client solutions. Consistent with its ‘Tech Up Pilipinas’ advocacy, UnionBank’s AI experimental explorations utilize advanced technologies like speech recognition to better interact with the country’s increasingly digital-savvy users and provide them with a better customer experience anchored on financial inclusion.

Speech recognition technology employs various voice interaction capabilities such as recognizing the intent of what has been spoken and verifying a speaker’s identity. These capabilities have been harnessed to give customers a more natural experience of seamless interactions with the Bank’s services while still providing the needed security level. While most AI modules have English as the base of comprehension, UnionBank’s AI experiments are leading them to incorporate other spoken native languages including Tagalog and Bisaya. 

"Imagine a future when there will be no need to remember a password, because intrinsic characteristics such as voice or behavior will become the password." ~Dr. Adrienne Heinrich, UnionBank’s AI & Innovation CoE Head

This new technology is set to make interactions between customers and the Bank's touch points frictionless and even more efficient. It could significantly reduce the number of inputs needed for a smoother and less time-consuming experience, and lower the entry barrier for non-tech savvy and underprivileged groups such as persons with poor eyesight.

“Highlighting the power of voice technology and how it can further be utilized in different use cases such as customer service and fraud prevention, UnionBank cultivates more natural interactions for clients in general, and financial inclusion for the non-tech savvy and underprivileged groups in particular.” ~Dr. David R. Hardoon, UnionBank’s Chief Data and AI Officer

In early trials for this new technology, UnionBank initially identified that the required features can be integrated with current banking transactions such as paying bills, sending money, checking promos, topping up, updating phone numbers, and even urgently blocking cards when security concerns are raised. The high-tech speaker verification voice biometrics secures the system while allowing users to seamlessly authenticate within seconds. 

Through this new technology, UnionBank can lower the threshold for technology and digital capability while expanding its reach.

Deaf advocate entrepreneur Francis Reyes is TOYM finalist

An entrepreneur whose advocacy is to provide equal opportunities and professional growth to the Philippine Deaf Community is one of the 21 finalists in this year’s The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) awards.

 

The TOYM honorees were announced during a gala night in Pasay City hosted by the award organizers Junior Chamber of Commerce (JCI) Philippines and the TOYM Foundation. Unlike previous iterations, the TOYM recognized 21 finalists for this year before disclosing the 10 awardees.

 

One of the finalists in the business, economics and entrepreneurship category was Francis Carl G. Reyes, founder of the Caravan Food Group Inc. (CFGI), a food and beverage company that aims to introduce new food concepts for the Philippine market as he believes that good is only as good as one’s overall experience.

 

Caravan Food Group carries three brands: Overdoughs, a homegrown pastry shop that offers the best selling OD Mini Chonky Cookies and other pastries like Crinkles and donuts, among others; Elait!, which offers artisanal rolled ice cream and the first rolled yogurt; and RAW Natural Juice Bar, an all natural juice that offers nutritionally designed cold-pressed juices.

 

Reyes’ advocacy was inspired by his experience when he was young. A deaf person assisted him while he was in a clothing store, and he was amazed by his sincere customer service. From then on, Reyes wanted to incorporate this in his food business.

 

This deaf inclusive advocacy is made possible through the partnership with orgnizations like De La Salle College of San Benilde – School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies and Hand & Heart.

 

To date, Reyes has employed 30 deaf partners and counting. The comprise more than 50 percent of the overall employee count. He always believed in their capabilities to help the company improve its service, products and food concepts.

 

Reyes believes in continually developing his people. Thus CFGI provides skills enhancement and leadership training programs for its employees. Soon he plans to promote his exemplary deaf partners to Team Leaders and Supervisors.

 

 

“It was one deaf guy who really showed me the epitome of customer service. I wanted to recreate the experience in this concept so I decided to hire deaf people. I wanted everyone to feel the warmth and realize how capable these deaf people are.” ~Francis Carl G. Reyes, founder of the Caravan Food Group Inc. (CFGI)

 

Health Undersecretary Beverly Lorraine Ho and comics artist Manuel Luis “Manix” Abrera were among the 10 TOYM awardees.

 

Ho was was named TOYM in the health and medicine category along with fellow physicians Ronnie Baticulon, a pediatric neurosurgeon and Ramon Lorenzo Luis Guinto, a public health advocate.

 

Abrera was one of the three TOYM honorees for literature, culture and the arts. Also awarded were Cordillera-based social entrepreneur Victor Mari Baguilat Jr. and Bicol Based writer and filmmaker Kristian Cordero.

 

Candon City councilor Joanne Ascension Valdez and Sustainability PH founder Shawntel Nicole Nieto received TOYMs for the humanitarian civil society or voluntary leadership category. Physician and medical anthropologist Paul Gideon Lasco and University of the Philippines-Los Banos, School of Environmental Science and Management Dean Rico Ancog rounded out the honorees for education and the academe.
