How Fonolo is helping 1^st USCU

The Fonolo web widget improves the customer experience by putting the power back into the customer’s hands.  As a 1^st USCU customer you will see this widget on the “contact us” page of their website.  Once you select the reason for your inquiry you are asked to complete three quick fields (name, member number, call back number) and Fonolo takes care of the rest.

The Benefits

The 2011 consumer’s report survey indicated that in the last year, 67% of customers hung up the phone out of frustration because they could not talk to a real person.  1^st USCU is now delivering an excellent customer experience to their members by offering Fonolo’s intelligent call-back feature.  More and more companies should refrain from providing customer dis(service) by eliminating phone menus, hold times, and frustrated customers.
