This new service is a step towards the future of banking and should provide our valued customers with a brighter banking experience through a secure, easy, instant and convenient way of inquiring and transacting with their bank.”

The ‘Ask BBK’ chatbot will be available via chat and voice interaction for immediate customer support to answer their questions and to conduct simple transactions.
