Breaking Down CX Barriers in Saudi Arabia’s BFSI Industry

 

WHAT IS A MARTECH HUDDLE?

It is an initiative by Martechvibe in association with Lucidya and Infobip.

Martech Huddle is specially designed to engage marketing, technology, and marketing leaders who have revolutionised brands by using technology as a catalyst. It focuses on a group of carefully selected industry stalwarts, bringing them together to participate in an exclusive closed-door session. The selected professionals bring a variety of viewpoints, experiences, and domain expertise, but they all share the vision of transforming businesses by enhancing the customer experience while utilising technology and new digital methods. The huddle encourages open discussions among peers, resulting in a better strategy roadmap for organisations. In the age of building peer exchange resources, these gatherings form a community of like-minded business leaders working to explore insights, ideas and best practices.

ABOUT THIS EDITION:

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation under Vision 2030, customer experience (CX) has emerged as a critical growth driver for financial institutions—not just a service layer but a strategic lever for retention, loyalty, and long-term value.

Financial institutions are under pressure to deliver proactive, hyper-personalised, and seamless experiences—before customer issues surface. However, fragmented technology stacks, legacy systems, and siloed vendor methods often slow progress. The call now is for a unified strategy: integrated platforms, cohesive data flows, and cross-functional alignment that empowers banks to engage customers early and solve problems before they escalate. Financial institutions are now facing a high level of competition. The pressure to be ten steps ahead of customers is their winning strategy for higher engagement and better communication. It’s time to be proactive and not just reactive.

For too long, CX efforts have been largely reactive—triggered by complaints, churn, or lagging satisfaction scores. With advanced analytics, real-time data, and AI-powered insights, banks now have the tools to detect early warning signs—silent churn, hesitation in the buying journey, drops in usage—and act fast. The focus has been on creating new products, and unfortunately, the strategy lacked the focus on highlighting the importance of customer engagement.

Lucidya enables this shift by delivering deep, AI-driven customer intelligence across Arabic and regional data sources. It empowers decision-makers with actionable insights that surface early signals and uncover hidden friction points. It helps financial institutions understand sentiment, behavior, and trends across social, digital, and offline channels, fueling smarter CX strategies and more informed decisions.

Yet insight alone isn’t enough. Acting on that intelligence requires timely, contextual, and personalised communication across customers’ preferred channels. That’s where Infobip completes the picture. With its robust omnichannel engagement capabilities and hyper-personalised banking engagement solutions, the technology partner allows banks to seamlessly orchestrate communications across SMS, email, voice, and mobile apps, ensuring the right message reaches the right customer at the right time. 

A unified solution for the BFSI sector bridges the gap between data and action, analytics and outreach, strategy and execution. That’s the future of CX in banking—not just listening but responding intelligently and proactively at every touchpoint.
