The Challenge

The bank’s growth strategy depended heavily on referrals and sales incentives, but the lack of a unified rewards system created friction:

Manual Referral Management
Customer referral incentives were tracked manually, leading to missed or delayed payouts, customer dissatisfaction, and operational overhead.

Low Visibility into Sales & Performance Rewards
Sales and support teams lacked clarity on incentive eligibility, progress, and payouts—reducing motivation and participation.

Limited Scalability of Recognition Programs
Leadership struggled to roll out recognition consistently across departments and geographies while maintaining compliance and cost control.
