Five Star Bank Partners with TCS to Drive Digital Transformation and Enhance Customer Experience.

Tata Consultancy Services' AI-Powered TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights Platform to Help Minimize Lending Risks and Drive Omnichannel Customer Personalization

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has partnered with Five Star Bank, a subsidiary of Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISI), on its digital transformation journey, helping it determine lending risk and deliver hyper-personalized customer experiences using the TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights (CI&I) analytics platform.

Five Star Bank is a premier provider of consumer and commercial lending services across Central and Western New York. The bank was looking for a solution that provides contextual customer insights to help them better meet customer expectations and drive competitive differentiation.

TCS will leverage the AI-powered CI&I platform's real-time contextual engagement capabilities to help the bank gain insights to avoid attrition blind spots and drive omnichannel customer personalization.

The bank will receive critical out-of-the-box AI/ML driven insights and self-serve customer and marketing analytics use cases enabling its relationship managers to gain deep insights on individual customers through 360 analytic profiles like sentiment score, churn score, product white space, customer persona, segments, transaction profiles, and calls to action. CI&I includes a KPI-based alert framework to notify key stakeholders when customer thresholds have been reached, such as credit scores, account value, or life events.

CI&I will also enable the bank to monitor loans on a periodic basis and share predictive early warnings on loans likely to default, to take necessary steps to prevent loans from prolonged credit deterioration. Using AI-based models, it will notify the bank about customers who are likely to default or pay off their loans early.

'The partnership with TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights will help drive deeper, more meaningful interactions with our customers and communities, further strengthen our approach to managing credit risk, and power the delivery of community banking digitally. With CI&I, Five Star Bank is bridging the human-digital divide with contextual AI-driven recommendations for next-best offers and actions,' said Sean Willett, EVP, Chief Administrative Officer, Five Star Bank.

'We are proud to partner with Five Star Bank in its ongoing transformation as they leverage insights from data to help identify new business opportunities via intelligent prospecting. We look forward to helping equip the bank's business customers and relationship managers with timely and actionable alerts and unique insights to drive growth,' said Amit Bajaj, President, TCS North America.

The TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights platform is designed to help banks deliver hyper-personalized omnichannel customer experiences and risk analytics. CI&I is a single, secure, extensible analytics solution that unifies all internal and external customer data while adhering to data privacy requirements. The future-focused platform provides connected intelligence through pre-built, industry-specific customer analytics use cases that accelerate time to value. CI&I's analytics help increase loyalty, CLV, and wallet share; reduce NPAs, bad debts, and write offs; and provide an improved understanding of pre-payment risk.
