What is Natural Language Understanding (NLU)?

Natural Language Understanding (NLU) allows you to use normal speech to navigate through the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

What languages does NLU support?

Currently it’s available in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin.

Will my accent impact NLU? Can I mix English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin?

Our system is designed for the Malaysian market and accent was taken into consideration carefully during the development. We support the English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin languages and code switching may result in your request not being identified correctly.

Is there other contact center / bank in Malaysia with speech enabled IVR?

We are delighted to say that Citi is the first bank in Malaysia to launch this technology.

Will I need to voice out my OTP/TPIN, Card Number and other verification information during the call?

In order to better protect and safe guard your account, our system is designed to only accept critical information and verification process via phone keypad.

Do I need to speak in a specific way in order for the speech IVR to understand me?

State your enquiry in a clear and concise manner in a quiet environment to receive the right assistance. For example, you could say “check my recent credit card transactions”.

Can I still speak to a Citiphone Officer?

Yes, in cases where your enquiry requires assistance from our officers. However, the system can easily resolve simple enquiries such as balance, card activation, etc. in a more convenient way, rather than having you wait on the phone line for an officer.
