Intervoice today announced the general availability of its Banking 4.0, a banking call center application with speaker verification.
Intervoice Banking 4.0 offers new mechanisms like speaker verification to deliver account information to the customer and protects customer accounts through increased account access security.

Out of the box, Intervoice Banking gives financial institutions a way to provide voice self-service to its customers, either through speech or touchtone.

• Fax, enabling an authenticated caller to receive a fax of transaction detail;
• Credit Card Accounts, providing customers with information such as account balances, recent transactions, and payment details;
