Customer experience doesn’t end after approving a service or clicking “purchase”. Understand what a financial journey is, from the issuing to the liquidation of payments.
Customer experience doesn’t end after approving a service or clicking “purchase.” The financial journey is a critical, and often overlooked, opportunity to build a stronger relationship with your customers. In the competitive North American market, managing this journey effectively is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
From onboarding and invoicing to payment and security, every financial touchpoint is a chance to build trust and loyalty. This strategic management of the customer’s financial interaction is powered by modern Customer Communications Management (CCM) solutions, such as hiperCCM for personalized communication and hiperValidation for real-time security.
From this new angle of the market, client onboarding processes, debit and credit cards, invoicing, customer service channels and even new payment methods such as Zelle, ACH transfers, wire transfers, Apple Pay and Google Pay go from being a cost to a business opportunity, from bureaucracy to a relationship with the customer.
What is the financial journey?
The financial journey is a set of financial processes that involve topics such as client onboarding, card processing, invoicing, charging, marketing and customer service channels related to the operation. This ranges from receiving financial data, processing, customization, and sending, to opening and settling accounts across a wide range of digital channels or even physically. In addition, they involve sensitive and priority issues, such as customer data, payment information, and security. These relationships make the financial journey the main link between companies and consumers today. Ultimately, it is the financial experience that often defines how much the customer trusts your brand and how loyal they will remain to it.
Customer Experience Management: A Lever for New Businesses
Did you know that financial communication is the type of content that generates the most engagement with your clients? More emails are opened, along with higher click rates, conversions, and valuable contact opportunities through call centers and other channels, providing valuable insight to interact with and build loyalty with your customer.
Our core validation solution, hiperValidation, handles over 10 billion validations per year for clients serving over 64 million users. This powerful capability demonstrates how a holistic approach, driven by high-quality data, allows companies to establish an error-free and highly engaging journey that creates growth opportunities and feeds the sales flow of new products and services.
By reducing risks and costs – while still generating revenue – financial communication becomes increasingly relevant, serving as a facilitator of relationships and monetization. Moreover, compliance with regulations like SOC 2, PCI DSS, and privacy laws like CCPA and PIPEDA becomes more efficient and transparent.
Why You Need to Outperform the Competition
In a market dominated by legacy platforms like OpenText and Quadient, a modern CCM strategy sets you apart. While these established players offer powerful Customer Communications Management (CCM) tools, they often rely on slow, outdated methods for security.
Our approach is fundamentally different: we do not rely on static biometrics or OCR for validation. hiperValidation uses behavioral data, device intelligence, and risk scoring to determine trust in real-time, which is our biggest selling point. That’s what sets us apart from Quadient/OpenText.
Furthermore, implementing hiperCCM takes only 15 days. Our flexible, cloud-native platform integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, providing the speed and autonomy needed to adapt to a constantly evolving market. We prioritize a holistic, data-driven experience that transforms every financial interaction into a sales opportunity.
What to do to further my company’s financial journey
Financial communication is not stagnant. It is client-centric. Today’s consumer expects a unique, relevant and hassle-free experience, with the brands they trust. To keep up with this change in behavior, new practices are needed behind the scenes to validate and correct data, prevent fraud, establish a multichannel communication strategy, and customize the layout or content of each campaign. And, to improve and make these processes more and more fluid, the answer lies in technology and human ingenuity.
The right technology combines logical rule validation, multichannel management, a digital communication platform, and business promotion through personalization. Together or separately, they offer the autonomy, agility, and intelligence necessary to transform the way companies interact with customers.
In the business world, the winners are those who can identify and seize opportunities faster than their competitors. Invest in your company’s future with technology that structures your financial journey and puts you ahead of the game.
