2. Omnichannel Engagement – A unified experience across web, mobile, and in-branch interactions. 

3. Secure Self-Service Portals – Customers can manage accounts, submit claims, or apply for loans without manual intervention.

How Liferay Improves Customer Engagement in Banking 

Banks are under pressure to reduce churn and increase customer lifetime value. Liferay helps by enabling: 

1. Hyper-Personalized Banking Experiences

Using data analytics, Liferay allows banks to segment customers and deliver tailored financial advice, product recommendations, and targeted promotions. For example, a customer logging into their portal might see pre-approved loan offers or savings tips based on their spending habits. 

2. Streamlined Onboarding & Account Management 

Traditional onboarding processes are often slow and paper-heavy. Liferay’s digital workflows automate KYC (Know Your Customer) verifications, e-signatures, and document submissions, reducing approval times from days to minutes. 

3. AI-Powered Chatbots & Virtual Assistants 

Liferay integrates with AI chatbots to provide instant support for balance inquiries, transaction history, or fraud alerts, enhancing satisfaction while reducing call center costs. 

How Liferay Boosts Customer Retention in Insurance 

Insurance providers struggle with low engagement and high lapse rates. Liferay combats this by: 

1. Self-Service Claims Processing 

Policyholders can submit claims, upload documents, and track progress in real-time, eliminating lengthy phone calls and paperwork. 

2. Dynamic Policy Recommendations 

Using behavioral data, Liferay suggests relevant add-ons (e.g., travel insurance before a holiday) or alerts customers about underinsured assets. 

3. Community & Knowledge Hubs 

Insurers can build branded portals with FAQs, video tutorials, and expert advice positioning themselves as trusted advisors rather than just vendors.
