Introduction
In a rapidly evolving market, banks must adapt to new trends to effectively meet customer expectations while standing out from the competition. BTK Bank has thus launched a high-tech branch concept, focused on modernizing its operations with innovative solutions that emphasize customer experience.Since joining the Elloumi Group, one of Tunisia’s largest industrial and export groups, several concrete initiatives have been implemented to support the bank’s growth. BTK Bank’s goal, as the “bank of tomorrow,” is to reinvent its services by optimizing the customer experience and enhancing operational efficiency—two essential elements for strengthening internal performance and increasing customer satisfaction.To address these challenges, BTK Bank adopted Liberrex, a turnkey solution that automates appointments, manages queues, and collects feedback, while ensuring optimal management of resources and customer flow.
