MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tonik Digital Bank is proud to announce its recognition as the Philippines' Best Customer Service for 2023, cementing its status as the number one digital bank for customer service in the country.
Tonik thanks its radically different approach from the get-go, as customer service is not just an aspect of their operations, it is their very essence incorporated in every level of the organization.
"Tonik is proud to be recognized for our customer service by none other than our consumers," says Mila Bedrenets, Chief Growth Hacker of Tonik Digital Bank. "This award is important for us, as this validates the dedication and passion that we have poured into providing the best banking experience to all our customers."
The recognition comes from an independent survey launched by Statista, a globally established company publishing brand top lists in cooperation with high-profile media partners. For the Philippines, Statista partnered with Philippine Daily Inquirer, the nation's leading broadsheet.
Statista surveyed a vast sample of 11,000 Filipino customers who have either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years.
BANKING ON THE VOICE OF CUSTOMERS
Tonik stands out from other banking institutions in such a way that customer service is a collaborative effort across all its teams.
From its agents up to members of its senior management, the bank integrates agility and care in listening to customer feedback to further enhance its app, making sure that every interaction leads to a better overall banking experience.
Bedrenets mentions that at this day and age of social media, identifying customer pain points are simple, and that it is just a matter of learning to listen and act on them quickly to address and resolve any concerns.
"I am [literally] sending screenshots of customer complaints to fellow top managers daily, just so everyone is duly aware of customer pain points," Bedrenets said. "Once the specific complaint is addressed, we also make sure that the same issue will not be experienced by other customers."
Tonik also utilizes the fastest possible flow of communication across all its teams to address customer issues and concerns and employs tools to effectively alleviate customer pain points.
"The 'Voice of Customer' unit is not a side structure for us, nor is it buried in a deeper level of our organization. We make sure that is very much present in our management committee front and center, as we understand that the more you care about customer experience, the less you will need to care about good sales performance," Bedrenets added.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)-licensed digital bank also goes the extra mile by proactively informing its customers of both internal and external service improvements, changes, as well as scheduled downtimes, which may affect their app experience. This transparent communication ensures that customers are informed and updated, fostering trust and reliability.
As they continue to revolutionize the digital banking landscape in the Philippines, Tonik Digital Bank invites customers to experience banking that is truly centered around their needs, values, and aspirations.
