Low-code solution makes account switching to Nationwide fast, error-proof and able to meet their SLAs
A system for ISA processing specified and built within 8 weeks in low-code
A global financial crisis created an upsurge in the demand for new ISAs, as people moved savings in and out of various banks. Unfortunately this led to poor service across the sector, as processing teams were unable to cope with increased work volumes. This led to a consequent surge in chaser phone calls and customer complaints. This accumulated poor customer experience resulted in bad PR, compensation claims and even fines and sanctions.
This backdrop led Nationwide to overhaul their ISA processing function. They needed a workflow solution to streamline the application process and dramatically improve customer experience. And they needed it fast. Having deployed some highly successful systems using Liberty Create, they turned to our low-code platform to meet this challenge.
“Liberty Create has made a telling contribution to Nationwide achieving its best ever ISA peak performance. The society processed record levels of ISA business.”
Head of ISA Processing, Nationwide
A system for ISA processing was specified and built in Liberty Create, our low-code platform, within an eight-week period.
It can handle any volume of new ISA accounts, transfers in and out of existing ISAs and consolidations.
As these alert rules are set by the member, they provide flexibility. This also corresponded with changes to banking regulations at the time.
The new application improved and automated customer communications and, as active workflow dashboards and proactive communications notified customers, as each stage was reached, it greatly reduced inbound chaser phone calls from customers.
This dramatically improved customer experience as a whole and the whole operation was more efficient and scalable.
Nationwide is now one of the UK’s top ISA providers by volume and value. At peak volumes, the Liberty Create solution helps Nationwide to successfully process over 100,000 ISA applications per week. The building society has achieved significant efficiency gains and cost savings since the implementation. Crucially, they have achieved excellent customer satisfaction ratings from the same system.
Nationwide has deployed many highly successful systems using Liberty Create, including Social media monitoring, Banking alerts, Mortgages, Digital banking resilience app, Bereavements and Complaints. By doing so, it has achieved significant efficiency gains and cost savings across a range of operations.

Nationwide’s SMS messaging service sends customers their current account balance and the last five transactions but they wanted to enhance the solution, ensuring greater transparency and control of members’ communications, empowering them to personalise alert preferences.
Nationwide wanted to resolve a common problem in today’s growing digital-first era: how to engage members during maintenance to its online services and proactively provide regular updates to maintain a positive overall customer experience.
