Banco Comafi stands at the forefront of innovation and the adoption of modern technologies in the Argentine banking industry.
In 2019, they identified key challenges - the rapid evolution of technological advancements in banking, changes in expectations of customer experience and the increasing demand for instant solutions.
With these factors in mind, the bank approached Aivo with the clear objective of implementing a new communication channel that would offer 24/7 support instantly, personalized, with a high-resolution rate.
According to Fabián Mealla, Digital Banking Manager at Banco Comafi, they looked for "a new way of communication that is simple, fast, and secure, available 24/7 to complement internet banking."
Sofia, the identity Banco Comafi gave to Aivo's AI-driven Virtual Assistant, was initially integrated as the first point of contact to address inquiries about products and services.
From its origins in online chat to its expansion to mobile with WhatsApp, Sofia stood out for its personality, empathy, and human touch, creating identity and human connection. Its avatar evolved from a 2D version to a 3D version, positioning itself across diverse digital bank channels.

In 2020, Sofia, Comafi's virtual assistant, emerged as a crucial channel, marking a notable shift from in-person to online platforms. This transition simplified customer interactions with the bank.
The AI virtual assistant joined the WhatsApp channel and achieved greater customer adoption, leading to a 387% surge in virtual assistant interactions.
The growing demand for customer interactions, combined with the commitment to consistently deliver quality service, led Banco Comafi to integrate with Aivo's Studio.
Studio, an Aivo solution, is a low-code integration designer, that empowered the bank's team to efficiently design, build, and implement custom integrations, tailored for their WhatsApp channel.
This integration paved the way for the evolution of virtual assistant Sofia to version 2.0, enabling the resolution of online queries and personalized information delivery.
Studio automation enabled unique features like cardless ATM withdrawals and PIN blocking via QR codes. Banco Comafi became a digital pioneer, with a focus on expanding integrations to develop fully resolution experiences, with WhatsApp standing out as the primary channel for enhanced customer engagement.
Banco Comafi not only achieved but surpassed its goals for 2023, marking a pivotal year for the bank. The primary objectives included:
Through this innovative tool, the bank automated and customized a comprehensive array of 34 key banking integrations tailored for the WhatsApp channel.
Integration refers to facilitating banking operational activities, such as account balance inquiries and recent account transactions.
The capability of Sofia, the virtual assistant, to manage multiple tasks on WhatsApp is truly remarkable. Today, Banco Comafi’s customers perform 34 banking transactions directly through the virtual assistant, coupled with a 98% resolution rate and 100.000 monthly interactions, making Banco Comafi a high-value Aivo client.
Highlighting the bank's efficiency in handling several processes and promptly addressing customer queries. Enriching and unifying the customer experience.
In 2023, Comafi successfully implemented Engage, Aivo’s campaign management solution fostering personalized connections via SMS or WhatsApp.
With Aivo support as strategic consultant, Banco Comafi developed an exceptional end-to-end strategy for personal loans.
Launched in December 2023, the campaign achieved a remarkable 93% ROI within two months, thanks to the key orchestrating role of the virtual assistant throughout the entire process.
Banco Comafi's blueprint revolves around seamlessly connecting with customers and delivering effective financial solutions.
“By assisting customers with Engage, we were able to identify customers and offer them a comprehensive transactional solution. This approach effectively addresses 80% of the most frequent queries in a single interaction.” - Fabián Mealla, Digital Banking Manager at Banco Comafi

Moreover, the bank prioritizes Sofia in all its banking strategies. Apart from consolidating it as an additional channel, they use the avatar in marketing and communication campaigns. For instance, they have recently integrated Sofia into the digital signatures of corporate emails for company associates. On their Instagram profile, the bank incorporates Sofia's personality into various external communications.
“Customers rely on the virtual assistant daily to access their personalized information, eliminating the need for in-person channels. Moreover, they prefer the virtual assistant over internet banking due to its fast and effective responses.” -Fabián Mealla, Digital Banking Manager at Banco Comafi
These accomplishments underscore Sofia virtual assistant's outstanding transactional nature and effectiveness. Opting to collaborate with Aivo is Banco Comafi's preferred choice, driven by their appreciation for the freedom to develop tools, providing increased flexibility and agility in expanding service channels.
The bank highly values Aivo's team support, guidance, ongoing monitoring, and strategic consultancy.
For 2024, Banco Comafi remains focused on prioritizing the growth of transaction volume, session levels, automation, and integration. Their goal is to attain 5 or 6 flows per customer session.
