Britannia Responses - International Banking Systems

Britannia Building Society, the UK's second largest mutual building society with 3 million members, is now electronically rather than manually, verifying the identities of its new customers using Callcredit's award-winning CallML service.

The society, which provides financial services both directly and through more than 250 branches, has implemented CallML at every branch as well as its head office in Leek, Staffordshire.

Selection Process

The selection process included an Invitation to Tender (ITT) process which involved processing test files, submitting a written proposal and also presenting to Britannia.

Why Callcredit

As well as finding CallML more convenient than asking for paper based ID documents, the team at Britannia's head office as well as the users in the branches all found CallML faster and easier to use than other electronic alternatives.

This, combined with Callcredit's excellent client care and ability to implement the system quickly, resulted in Britannia selecting Callcredit.
