At Curve, we always look for ways to improve our customer support experience. Like a lot of companies, it was hard to prioritise the time away from developing the core product and to build the support experience we’ve always wanted.
With Cordless, we were able to transform our customers’ journey over the phone without involving our engineering team. Using Cordless, we created a significantly better customer experience and reduced the monthly cost.
The Cordless team is super responsive and easy to work with - they have been a great partner to us. We’ve had a Return on our Investment (ROI) of more than 65%

Curve and Cordless setup
Curve is a financial super-app. Its mission is to be a one-stop shop for a consumer's financial needs, a single point of access to a wide range of financial products and services, bundling your money into one smart card and an even smarter app.
Curve deals with a high volume of questions from customers around the clock. Some of these calls definitely can't wait - fraud, lost and stolen cards need to be dealt with right away.
With this in mind, Curve used an outsourced call centre to triage all customer calls. The centre's agents asked customers security questions, assessed urgency and took messages to pass on to Curve's CX team.
The outsourcing presented significant problems for Curve. Firstly, it was confusing when customers realised that the person they were talking to couldn't solve their issue, despite having shared personal security data with the agent.
Secondly, it was expensive. A customer needed to speak to two people before their query was resolved, and the disconnected communication threw up inconsistencies in the messages passed by the outsourcer to Curve.
With Cordless, Curve was able to cut out the outsourcing intermediary to save more than £5000 a month and improve the customer experience at the same time.
Cordless allowed Curve to:
Cordless allowed Curve to serve more than 60% of customers asynchronously.

Cordless allowed Curve to:
- Triage urgent queries based on the selected IVR option
- For non-urgent queries, reliably collect context around customer questions before calling back
- Identify customers without sharing data with 3rd parties by automatically confirming their email address before the call

FAQ while you wait
Like many other companies, Curve experienced a high volume of queries that a customer could answer by looking at the company’s FAQ page or solve via a self-service channel.
Cordless allows Curve to send a link to an FAQ page based on the IVR option selected, giving customers an opportunity to self-serve before they receive a callback.
For Curve, Cordless combines authentication with call deflection in one message to avoid spamming customers with lots of texts.
