To differentiate themselves in the financial services industry, companies are leveraging messaging platforms to build dynamic, interactive relationships with customers throughout their journey. This includes using SMS, push notifications, and other channels to provide real-time updates on account balances, transaction completions, and suspicious activity warnings. Companies like CU Wireless, Xoom, TransferWise, Simply Business, and ING are implementing these strategies to improve customer experience, retain customers for a lifetime, and reduce costs associated with acquiring new customers. By focusing on scale, reliability, and flexibility in their cloud communication providers, they can ensure high-quality performance and delivery of messaging traffic routes.
