Providing Financial Services Successfully With Live Chat

If your company is looking for a live chat software supplier that is FCA compliant, UK based and with a proven track record then read on.

Financial organisations have to comply with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) stringent procedures otherwise they risk being investigated, and a ban being placed on their products and services. It is, therefore, vital that finance companies ensure their suppliers help them to conform to FCA regulations.

The Click4Assistance solution is especially successful within the financial sector due to data being completely stored in the UK. Sensitive information such as credit card or account numbers is unable to be transferred through chat to reduce any risk of a data breach.  Live chats on your website are transmitted with SHA-256bit encryption making them equivalently as safe as a payment page.

The solution can restrict access to your office IP address only, ensuring that employees are only logged in during permitted hours within the workplace. This enables a finance company to ensure their organisation is not breaching the FCA’s rule that “data cannot be at risk through employees” via the live chat system.

Successful Implementations within the Financial Sector

Polaris chose to implement live chat within imarket, an e-trading solution funded by several insurers. The imarket platform connects broker and insurer systems to provide instant and secure access to products and services. By integrating live chat within imarket business is kept in the e-trade environment.

“The deployment of live chat for imarket is an important step and it will significantly improve a broker’s journey, enabling more of their business to be placed via their platform,” said Martin McLachlan, Polaris’s Managing Director.
