Cembra offers a new app function which provides greater protection for credit card customers
17.08.2023 / 07:00 CET/CEST
Zürich – Cembra is the first Swiss bank to introduce a solution for the integrated digital processing of chargebacks directly in its credit card app. This allows Cembra to offer its customers a simple and fast service to address erroneous transactions or suspected credit card fraud, which contributes to consumer protection in online payments.
Cembra’s credit card app is continually enhanced with new functionalities to improve customer experience and increase efficiency.
Credit card holders can now register unknown or suspicious transactions as well as defective purchases – whether goods or services – simply and quickly direct in the Cembra app and initiate a chargeback with the assistance of a "virtual agent". Cembra is the first Swiss bank to introduce such a solution, and thus offers a readily available digital service, a virtual 24/7 customer service without the queue. Alongside existing app functionalities such as "card blocking" and "card replacement", customers benefit from an optimised range of services and additional buyer protection.
Esther Pfaff, Head Product & Innovation at Cembra: "We want to leverage technology to offer our customers user-friendly, needs-based and secure solutions that improve their purchase experience. With our latest app function, we can solve claims regarding credit card transactions quicker and handle chargeback processes more efficiently – and in doing so serve our customers better. At the same time, we can offer them greater security for the risk-free use of their credit cards."
The technology is supplied by Rivero, a leading Swiss SaaS (Software as a Service) provider specialising in the digitalisation and automation of payment processes. Thomas Müller, CEO and co-founder of Rivero: "We are excited about the launch of the 'Amiko Virtual Agent' at Cembra. Our goal is to simplify consumer protection for card payments and make it more efficient and user-friendly. Our modern software will help Cembra to offer its customers first-class services."
